their land with same and by causing
widespread overflow, a growing hostility
arose toward the miners, who were be-
lieved to be responsible for such injurious
conditions along the rivers. The hostility
thus engendered grew to such magnitude
that finally both state and nation dwoke
to the seriousness of conditions, and for
years engineers and legislators have been
endeavoring to solve the debris problem.
The problem of what to do with the
debris resulting from years of hydraulic
mining, which still remains in large
quantities in the upper rivers and in
their mountain tributaries, and how to
protect the valley farms from further
injury due to the downward flow of this
old debris. has been the subject of both
state and national Investigations until
finally an act was passed by Congress in
1898 providing for a federal board COM
posed Of three engineer officers of the
army. to be called the California debris
commission. This commission found a
