He devoted his Y: er to an exposition of the progress ng | made toward the establishmen. of a de- of mines in the Cabinet. The srowing in favor; reasons without number had been s support, and the wisdom | hing such a department was | now not doubted. The report of the committee on dredg- ers and jetties, prepared by Thomas J. Barbour, was read by the secretary of the convention. Mr. Barbour described the dredger industry, the cost of the work and the results. He described the industry in each county in which gold dredgers are ! at work, and he gave some valuable fig- ures compiled by dredger men in various localities. There are now at work in the State twenty dredgers, he said. The re- turns from each are between $75,000 and $195,000 a year, and the total is somewhere over $1,000,000. L. P. Crane, president of the Pefroleum Miners” Association, gave teresting figures and facts about ng oil industry. Petroleum, he the growmng industry of State. It yields sixty products the world cannot = do with- out, and the question is even now bein agitated as to how it may be substitute for coal. The factory Interests of the ate depend on two products, he con- tinued, gold and crude petroleum, and it will not be long before California can compete with the factories of the East. There ispinvested in the oil interests In this State $34,000,000, mostly outside capi- tal, and the value of the land known to be oil-producing has been set by the own- ers at $116,000,000, W. L. Watt was then introduced to give some idea of the commercial aspect ot the oil situation. He sald that in three output of year of 2,600,00 it was 12000; in 1897 it had to 1,00,000; in 1508 it ‘was 2,200,000, and in 1599 the output was 2,400,- 000 barrels. s afterward stated that the yield this vear will mmount to at least 4,000,090 parrels. In 1596, Mr. Watt said, there were producing wells and 100 | prospect wells . St year there weré 1500 producing wells and 470 being driven for prospects. Then he entered into a de- scription of the different kinds of petr. leum found in the State and their rela- tive values. Louis E. Aubrey of Los Angeles read a paper on frelght rates that later called forth a resolution that may bear fruft in the future. He described how, under ex- isting circumstances, ore was charged for under a rate schedule dated September 15, 1599, which he read, at the rate of §100 per ton, a rebate to be made on the showing by the report of the smelting works that it was lower than the $100 rate called for. It was an exempiification of the theory of “all the traffic will bear,” said Mr, Au- brey. He asked what right the raflroad say. Under the schedule, he said, a man might ship ore he valued at $0 a ton on a supposed rate of $5 a ton, but when the assay at the smelter showed a value of $75 a ton he would find he had to pay $2 50 a ton more. There would be some reason, he said, if the rate was made contingent upon the valuation of the ore by the owner, for then in case of the It is true, he said, there is a theory that a shipper can first valuation might be, but there had never been known a case where a man re- covered more than the valuation he placed upon his own shipment even if he recovered that. Later {n the day a resolution asking that the fixingiof the rates on ore be brought to the attention of the Interstate Commerce Commission was referred to the committee on resolutions, A. Caminetti opened the afternoon pro- 8 g’fl! dams, Since the last report of the committee, sald Mr. Caminetti, the Debris Commis. sion had had in charge the construction of restraining works on the Yuba River, which, without injury to the navigable stream below, or the adjacent lands, would restealn at moderate cost all the debris that would come down the river for the next twenty years. Mr. Caminetti then proceeded to explain in detail the plans for the restraining dams, and the preliminary work that had to be done to explain and perfect the plans and bring them into favor. When completed the works would cost, he sald, 000, Al- ready $500,00 bad been appropriated in equal amounts by the Federal and Stats governments, Lut $300,000 more would be necessary, and the committee recommend- ed that ‘it be appropriated in the same manner. — Suitable resolutions bearing upon this will be passed by the associa- tion baefore adjournment, Regarding the work of the Debris Com- mission the report says: It is a source of great regret ti has ensued concerning h)'d::ullc r::r:ll:""g;::’:': tions in this State on the suggestion of the Anti-Debris Association, at a time when pro- posed plans promise £5 much both for the T eiring {h min toat under th mind that under the said act, what is known as the Mondell repors Is made the basis of operations, and that said report provides restraining works in all the tributaries of the navigable portions of the Sacramento and San Joaquin river systems, commencing with the Yuba and following on down to the Bear, the merican, the Co- eumnes, Sutter Creek, Calaveras and other eams, it will be seen how far-reaching, when considered from the valley point of view, are the benefits of this law now belng administered by the California Debris Commis- sion. And when regarded from the standpoint of the miner. it is not difficult to realize the great mutual advantages which will follow by & successful solution of this problem. Several resolutions were presented dur- ing the day, and on motion it was decid to refer them to the committee on resolu- tlons without debate. There was one ask- Ing for an effort to have in the lo- cation of land the burden of proof placed upon the agricultural claimant instead .of upon the mineral claimant, as is at pres- ent the procedure, and _also that the locator prove that the land is unoccupied. T was a measure for the suppression of scrippers. Then there was the resolution on the freight rate and another by Caminetti asking that the right of a miner to locate on lands fatented to the railroads as agricul- tural lands be ascertained and defined. The afternoon closed with a paper by O, 8. Bresse, describing the mineral industry of Southern California. metals of that portion of the State. REPLIES TO THE MINERS. Resolutions Adopted by the Anti- Debris Association. SACRAMENTO, Nov. 20.—In a series of | resolutions the executive committee of the State Anti-Debris Association, in ses- sion in this city, this afternoon made an- swer to the allegations of bad faith pre- ferred by the president and officers of the miners’ convention in San Francisco. The assoclation declared that it stands ready at all times to defer to the law as laid down by the courts, and that its sole pur- pose is to protect the Sacramento Valley from what it declares is the injurious ef- fect of hydraulic mining. The association is composed of representatives, mostly Bupervisors, of the various interested counties. Suits are now pending in the courts, brought at its instance. to restrain certain mines from allowing their refuse matter to flow down into the valley streams, to the impairment of the chan- nels and damage to lands. The resolu- tions follow: Whereas, at the session of the miners’ con- vention held yesterday In the city of San Francisco, the statement was made by the president 'of the association and other officers thereof that the delay in testing the consti- tutionality of the so-called Caminetti act was due to the Anti-Debris Assoclation; and, whereas, this assoclation In regular monthly meeting’ assembled, belleves < that the truth should be made known; therefore this associa- tion does resolve as follows: That the assoclation is formed for the pur- pose of protecting the Sacramento Valley from the injurious effect ‘of hydraulic mining and is engaged in effecting for the inhabitants of the Sacrameuto Valley a substantial benefit and 1s not concerned in combatting issues of no practical importance. Prior to the passage of the so-called Cam- inettl act, the courts, both of this State and the United States, had decided that the rivers could not be used as conduits for hydraulic mining debris and that the landowners living along the banks as well as the State itself were entitied to protection from the injurious effects of hydraulic mining; in other words, it was d clared by the highest courts of the land that hydraulic miners should use their property so as not to injure that of their neighbors. Under the so-called Caminetti act, permits have been granted to varlous miners to mine, and In some cases dams have been erected which are sufficient to restrain hydraulic min- ing debris; {n other cases these dams are ut- terly insufficient and the debris from hydraulic mines pours over the crest of the dams and enters the river channels below. The Anti-Debris Assoclation contends that no one has the right to injure the property of his neighbor except for a public use and then only upon just compensation being made. We be- iteve it is contended by the Miners' Assocla- tion that if a permit has been granted by the California Debris Commission to mine, the miners have the right to continue hydraulic mining, regardiess of the injury they may do, We claim this is not a proper construction of the law, and, if it be, that the law is uncon- stitutional. We have been eager at all times to submit this matter to the courts and in the case brought by the county of Sutter against the Red Dog mine claim, the defense made by the miners was that they Were operating under a permit, but when the case came to trial they withdrew this portion of their an- swer. We are exceedingly anxious that the constitutionality of this so-called Caminetti act should be “determined and in any one of the number of cases brought by us the point can be raised and determined, if the miners so desire, ‘The Anti-Debris Assoclation has caused many of those dams to be examined by competent engincers, and has found that several of them are totally insufficient to restrain the hydraulic mining debris. In some cases where the dams were sufficlent for a time the reservoirs have been completely filled up, but hydraulic min- ing_continues. This asecciation has commenced sults In which hydraulic mining slulce mining have been enjoin to bring a great many more. In any one of these cases, or in all, the question of the suf- ficlency of the permit to allow injury to be done can be argued. The ~ Anti-Debris _Aseoclation takes tne ground that the Sacramento Valley is entitled to protection from the Injurious effect of hydraulic mining; that the courts are open for the purpose of settling disputes between citi- zens and that an appeal from the decision of the California Debris Commiseion lies, like it does from any other commission, to the courts of the land. We have been extremely anxious to take up some case to the highest courts in- volving this proposition, but €0 far the miners have evaded the fssue. We are confident that number of the courts of last resort will declare that no | attracted the attention of Pazas' asso- man can injure the property of his neighbor, and if the hydraulic mining is doing injury to the rivers or valley interests below it will be enjoined. The question is not whether a miner has a permit to mine, but whether he is iving up to his permit and whether the Wworks erected in pursuance of it are sufficient to_prevent injury. The Anti-Debris Assoclation is not formed for the purpose of fighting shadows, but oper- ates for the purpose of preventing injury. In some instances where permits have been grant- ed, upon examination made by the association, it has been found that the mine-owners make no attempt to comply with the permit. They build a system of restraining works contem- plated by their application for mining, but en their reservoirs become filled up they empty them and in some cases remove their restraining works or a portion of them when no one is watching them. In some instances the California Debrls Commission has with- drawn permits for mines on account of the bad_faith exercised by the miners and their disobedience of the terms of the permits granted. For .the purpose of obtaining a speedy de- cision upon the proper construction of the con- stitutionality of the act, our attorney is in- et Sl e e e v o B be declasa, ¥ & Se fn B iny It was a com- | plete enumeration of the mines and the | [WITNESS HALL ABEUES FOR Hi FRIEND KAIGHT Nome Attorney Fails to Ap- pear Before Commis- sioner Heacock. Finds an Advocate, However, in a Lawyer Who Says He Does Not Believe Knight Would Do Anything Wrong. —— Sam Knight, the attorney, whose tes- timony in regard to how, why and when he obtained from one Reese an affidavit charging Judge Noyes of the Circuit Court of Alaska with many unpleasant and illegal proceedings in connection with the trial of mining suits, did not materialize before United States Commissioner Hea- cock in the Dubois contempt proceedings yesterday morning. His absence robbed the hearing of much excitement and the court must wait for Knight's account of his fly-by-night escape from Nome City until to-morrow at 10:30 o’clock. adjourn- ment having been taken till that time. Attorneys Pillsbury and Geary thrashed over yesterday the same facts as had bezn presented at the last hearing of the ca: with the aid of three witnesses who had been present in the cabin of the St. Paul when Knight had interrogated Reese cn the affidavit and what its drawing up had *'stood him in for.” On Saturday last Attorney A. C. Hal- sted of Los Angeles had, under Geary's questioning, told the court how he had been called into Knight's cabin, which he shared with the attorney, and asked by him to pay particular attention to the conversation which should follow between Knight and Reese in reference to the affidavit which Reese had masle at Knight's request, assalling the judicial in- tegrity of the Circuit Judge of Alaska Yesterday Attorney Gordon Hall, who was one of the Nome legal fraternity, and George D. Bunker, both of whom were also present in the cabin occupied by Knight at the time of the conversation concerning the intrinsic worth of the charges made by Reese and his good faith in supporting them, corroborated Hal- stead’s testimony as to what took place on that occasion. In the case of Hall an interesting bit of Nome's unwritten legal history was divulged in his testimony | when he told of the fear felt by tie at- { | | | | | i | as- receiver of the | suming that Knight was fleeing from ju: | most enjoyable by _getting" Anheuser-Busc] torneys who had sided against Noyes in the appointment of McKenzie as receiver of the Discovery mine, that their winte stay In Nome would be made compulsory. Hall said the pros and cons and possibil- ities and the powers of Noyes in this mat. ter had formed the subject matier of many a legal heart-to-heart talk on the Rialto of the city of the golden shore. In this connection he put up a strong defense for Knight's flight in answer to a ques- tion by Geary. “Now, Mr. Hall,” the former Congress- man had said, “what would you, as an attorney, think of a man who_having, as Knight did, in answer to a Judge's de- mand to see charges against him, told the Judge that he could produce an afi- davit sustaining them in two hours, then fled like a criminal in the night, leaving the man against whom he had made these charges shut off from the outside world by an arctic winter, powerless to say a word in his own defense to that outside world—what would you, not only as an but as a man, think of such an action?” Hall wriggled and twisted in his seat and smiled at Heacock and at Geary and at_ Pillsbury and then remarked that “Under the circumstances—'" nder any circumstances?’’ said Geary. ““Well,” said Hall, after secking inspira- tion from the ceiling, “Mr. Knight was Drobabl{ afraid of being compelied to winter in Nome, and that—'" *“Is that your answer?” put in Pillsbury. “I thought it was the commencement of an argument for Knight,” sald Geary. Hall at length said that he tnought Knight had been badly used. He had heard nothing of the atiorney’s payment of $2000 to Reese for the affidavit, nor of a payment of $750 to the same individual for his ‘“expenses to New York.” ** Knight would not do such & thing,” was the way Hall expressed his opinion. Later on Hall told of Metson'd boast that his friendship to Geary held him immune from the threat of imprisonment that hung over the other attorneys’ heads. Hall said he had heard both the litigants characterized as “rotten.” He told of the general dissatisfaction existing in Nome over McKenzie's appointment by Noyes “Discovery” only a few hours after his arrival in Nome. The witness did not belleve, in answer to a question of Pillsbury, that Knight couid have remained there and received fair treatment. Questioned as to whether he knew that Knight intended to secure from Reese a second afidavit supporting the first when the St. Paul stopped at Port Townsend, Hall sald he knew nothing of it. Geary and Hall were at loggerheads all through the examination, the attorney as- tice and the witness placing his friend the position of a persecuted man. An unimportant witness was A. Ander- son, defendant in the Comptols suit. He merely testified to his identity.

The combination of all local lime com- panies has brought about the expected re- sult. The price of lime has been raised and a circular has been sent out to the | trade, giving notice of the new rates, which went into effect last Monday. The rates are set forth as follows: Santa | Cruz lime, $1 60 per barrel in the store jin San Francisco; at Rincon and Santa Cruz, $1 50 per barrel. As was forecasted | in The Call, which had the exclusive news of the combine,. Henry Cowell & Co. and the H. T. Holmes Lime Comvany have come to an agreement. They are both sending out the same circular concerning | | the new rates. Each concern protesaesl to regard the other as a competitor. The | truth is that they are acting together. The understanding is that they have de- cided upon a percentage basis of division of the business of this section. Henry Cowell yesterday denied positively that he controlled the market. At the H. T. Holmes Lime Company Mr. Cowell was | sald to be the moving spiri | Mr. Cowell admitted that | cerning the circular were true. Beyond that he did not admit anything. He smiled as he spoke of the Clenega and the I X L lime plant, the former near Tres | Pinos in San Benito County and the latter in Santa Cruz. He has bought the I X L as well as the Cienega plant. Some years ago he contracted with the I X L plant to take all their lime at $2 50 per barrel for a period of five years. At the end of | that time he made a contract at a lower rate, $2 per barrel. Then he declined to make another contract and the I X L Company went into the market at cut rates and tried to drive Mr. Cowell out of_business. The result was that the I XL, was eventually mortgaged for §75.- 000. ~Cowell waited his time and took it in. Then the Clenega tried to take the trade from Cowell. He met every rate that his rivals made and they ended up with _an indebtedness of $120,000. Cowell bought in the property last week for $10.- 000. He is now the lime magnate of Cali- fornia north of Tehachapi and also of the Puget Sound country, for he has also the control of the Roche Harbor Lime Com- any. Pome idea of the advance in the price of lime is derived from the fact that lime has been sold here as low as 85 cents per | barrel and even lower in the height of | rate wars. Henry Cowell says that he has | teen losing money at even the recent rate of §1 25 per barrel. A Trolley-Car Demolished.
