131 MUST HAVE IT. Ford Says the Miners Will Concede Much but They Will Insist on the $250,000. THE DELEGATION UNANIMOUS. meeting of the California Congressional delegation was held Wednesday evening at which all the members were present, the following proceedings having been telegraphed to the Call: In the conference Senator White presided. The principal object was to bring about a more amicable understanding between the representatives of the mining and of the agricultural districts.

Tirey L. Ford, on behalf of the Miners' Convention, denied the charge that the restraining dams erected under the Caminetti act had proved a failure. He admitted that an unusually severe winter had caused ten of those dams to break, but he said hydraulic mining was being carried on behind 104 dams, only four of which had not withstood the unusual floods. He thought that this was a good showing for the beginning of a great and difficult system of impounding the debris, and that a little more care on the part of -the Debris Commission in issuing permits would make the system perfectly safe. stated that he was willing to go as far as he possibly could to meet the bin of the valley people, but there were two points upon which he was compelled to insist.

First, the appropriation which he sought must not be less than $250,000, and second, it must be made in such a as to unlock the appropriation manner, the California Legislature. With these two conditions reserved, he was willing to join forces with the valley delegates and work in harmony with them. He said, further, that he was perfectly willing to support a bill creating a Sacramento river commission, and would cheerfully do all he could for it. Ford explained the provision of the bill introduced by Johnson in the House and Perking in the Senate, revising the Federal mining laws. He stated that Senator Stewart had also introduced a bill in the Senate for the revision of the Federal mining laws, but that it differed materially from the Perkins and Johnson bill.

point upon which miners most strongly insist," said Mr. Ford, "Is the provision for the transfer of contests from the land offices to the local courts in the respective counties where the land is situated." He said Senator Stewart had agreed to permit this provision to be added to his bill, and that a further conference was to be had with Senator Stewart with the view to harmonize other differences in the bill. Ford took occasion to correct erroneous impression upon the part of some of the delegation that hydraulic mining was or ever had been an unlawful business. He quoted from the California Supreme Court to the effect that the business was not itself unlawful, and that injunctions were issued only where the business was so conducted as to injure other property. The delegation agreed to support the bills reported by Ford, except the bill reducing the penalty under the Caminetti act, which it decided not to approve, The river convention delegates agreed not to oppose Ford's measures, A though they did not agree to support them.

THEY ARE SATISFIED. The Miners Indorse Johnson 88 Being Wholly Their Friend. The San Francisco Call of yesterday contained an account of a meeting of the Executive Committee of the Miners' Association Wednesday evening, at which the following action was noted: Chairman J. H. Neff, opening the meeting, stated that the committee had received advices from Washington to the effect that a bill, formulated in tion with Mr.

Herrin of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company and with Mr. Ralston and Mr. Ford, has been passed by Congress. Resolutions were by Secretary Sontag, recently passed by the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce, promising hearty support to any bill before Congress which would work beneficially to the miners and not interfere with the interests of the farmers of the Sacrmento Valley. A resolution was submitted by Professor Christy instructing the Secretary of the Miners' Association to acknowledge receipt of the resolutions and to assure the Sacramento Chamber of Commerce that they would be ready to join in any movement of development of the waterways of the State provided the rights of the miners were respected, which was unanimously adopted.

T. J. Parsons stated that there had been a great deal of discussion as to Grove L. Johnson's standing toward the miners; he might support the provisions of the bill and still be aggressively opposed to hydraulic mining. Mr.

Parsons read a clipping from a Marysville paper stating that Mr. Johnson was actively and aggressively opposed to the miners. On the strength of this Mr. Parsons submitted a resolution, which was adopted, stating that a thorough investigation be made of the attitude of the Hon. Grove L.

Johnson toward the interests of the miners. It was the opinion of Secretary Sontag that Mr. Johnson was wholly on the side of the miners and that he would neglect no effort of advancing their interests in Congress. BUTTER COUNTY MENTION.

Jenkins today contained the sad intelligence of the death of his brotherin-law, Peter Pumyea, which occurred at an early hour this morning in Oakland.

Peter Pumyea was a former resident of this citv, where he enjoyed a wide acquaintance gained many steadfast friends because of his genuine worth and personal magnetism.

The DEMOCRAT concedes that A. C. Bingham is well Informed as to certain matters connected with the levee system of this city and to a certain extent familfar with plans and reports of Government Engineers relative to the betterment of the Feather and Yuba rivers. It is also conceded that he is a clever gentleman opinion is entitled to more than passing consideration in all matters on which this article is based. He is frank in saying that he does not agree with the conclusions of the Government Engineers who composed the commission under the provisions of the Biggs law, in so far as their recommendations refer to a restraining dam or barrier at Deguerre Point.

In mentioning the bill introduced by Congressman Johnson and now before Congress, providing for an appropriation of $250,000, Mr. Bingham says: purport thereof is in direct opposition to the principles and tenets of the organizations that have, and are today, doing service for this valley." At the same time he admits that he has not seen the bill, therefore is not advised of its real merits or demerits. The fact is, the bill simply provides for an appropriation of $250,000 to be expended by the U. S. Debris Commission under the provisions of the Caminetti law.

And as the DEMOCRAT has stated OD several occasions that law declares that whenever an appropriation has been made of public money for the betterment of these streams the report of the Biggs Commission shall be the basis of operations. This brings us back to the point to which Mr. Bingham objecis, and that is, the dam or barrier at Deguerre Point The DEMOCRAT admits that the only law now in force applicable to the Yuba river by which an expenditure of money can be made is that contained in Section 25, of the Caminetti law, just referred to. And that is why Mr. Bingham says the matter of building, dams should be optional Government engineers.

At the same time he declares in the most emphatic language that he is not opposed to an appropriation under the Johnson bill or any other bill. Then when the objection has been analyzed the real point of difference is in the personal opinion of the conditions and requirements, as seen by the different persons. In other words the plans of the Engineers do not meet the approval of Mr. Bingham, and the principal reason advanced is that nine years have passed since the examination and recommendation was made by the Biggs' Commission and conditions have changed. And he declares that because of this difference of opinion "our best efforts should bo put forth at once to see that this measure now before Congress does not become harmful law." This is getting on rapidly towards a betterment of these streams, when in nine years we have reached a point where an appropriation is asked for by our Representative in Congress and one of the leading citizens declares we feat it.

DEMOCRAT is pleased to should put forth our best energies to deknow that there are very few who agree with Mr. Bingham in his conclusions. At the same time it assures the members of Congress that public sentiment here, and throughout the State, is in favor of having something done during the present generation. SLASHED WITH A KNIFE. A Former Resident of Yuba County Cut Across the Forehead.

The San Francisco Chronicle of Wednesday gives the following account of injuries sustained by James Clark, a former resident of this county, a nephew of James Clark of Linda township: "John Kelly, laborer, went into a saloon at 605 Howard street early yesterday morning and called for a glass of beer. After being served Kelly attempted to force an entrance into a private room connected with the saloon and was ordered out by James Clarke, the proprietor.

"Policeman Tuite was then summoned and placed Kelly under arrest.

EDITOR broke into the smoke-house of Andy McCarty of this place last Tuesday evening and stole about a dozen hams. As the everfaithful watch-dog did not give the usual alarm local was suspected, and later developments proved the foundation for this theory.

A man named Anderson, who is engaged in chopping wood at the Excelsior Ranch came to town Thursday night and reported that he had one of the hams in his possession. He gave the name of the thief, and a warrant was immediately placed in the hands of our local officer, Sam Downing. Downing swore G. Wheaton as assistant Deputy Sheriff and the pair started on the trail. They succeeded in catching one of the thieves in bed and after securely handcuffing him proceeded to get some supper.

While the officers were discussing the good and bad qualities of McCarty's ham the prisoner, who had evidently been reading of the oft recurring escapes from the Hotel de Inlow, decided to try his hand at the business. He opened the door of the apartment wherein he was confined, and like the Arab of old "silently stole handcuffs and all. And now deputy Downing and aesistant Wheaton are out scouring the hills for the handcuffs attached to the man as they are valued at three dollars. PROSPECTOR. Smartsville, Feb.
