A Great Question.
There is now in abeyance in
our sister state California, a ques
tion of most overshadowing im
portance, a question far outweigh
ing in results the trivial proposi
tion also before 'the Californians as
to who shall be their governor for.
the next four years; it is the
great contest between the fanners
and theminers. Briefly stated, the
point at issue is, can the hydraulic
miners, discharge the boulders,
gravel, sand and mud from their
mines into the river, or Can they
be made to . stop? It has been
coming to the front for twenty
years; "its decision involves the
prosperity of 300,00(1. . people,
and the matter fs one productive
of the most intense feeling on
each side. In the mountain coun
ties the unanimous answer is "No,
the United States gave us a right
to work our mines, and that patent
so obtained embraces the right to
ukc the natural water ways to
carry off the debris." The valley
people, the fruit, wheat, barley
"rowers sav:' "Onr homes arc
being destroyed, our orchards.
farms, vineyards, homesteads aro
every year 'rendered more worth
less and the result i, that we must
go. There is no justice in it."
And so it stands.
It seems hard. On the one
hand are the miners, absolutely de
pendent on the'product of tlio hy
draulic mines for food and cloth
ing for themselves and families,
who, if .stopped in their daily
work, must abandon their homes
and the mines in which they have
put every dollar tlioy own. On
the r.thr hand am "he farmers,
who, every yoar, see the raging
waters, cj'urv down mud unci gray
sand .spreading out in sterile deso
lation over their fertile farm's and
fruitful -vineyards. Sporifttic at
tempts have been niadr from time
to snttle lho'-inaitcr' in a manner
mutually advantageous to both
parties. Projects have been -advanced
-and upon trial discarded;
dams have been built, only .to be
swept away by the first frchot,
and aE last the farmers in
the nauif of " The people
of ihe state of Ualifonia,""
have brought suit in Sacramento
county against one of the largest
mining companies eff the state,
asking that-an injunction be served
on tha-cpmpajiy enjoining them
from further operations. This suit
has been decided in favor of the
farmers," la the valleys there is
rejoicing; in the mountains there
is dismay". The matter now goes
before the',supreme court for final
adjudication, and upon 'the decis
ion -of that court rests the for
tunes of half a million poople. It
is about as certain as a thing can
be that if is as yet to take place
that the appellate court will affirm
the. findings of Judge Temple of
the" .superior "court of Sacramento
county.
HowM'liP'St'n "Trhnfps -are Faring;.
Tiik st iranips which have
been dumping slaves and. infec
tious diseases on our shores, says
the" Bulletin, are not going to
prove very remunerative ventures.
One of them, the Bothwell Cattle,
has been seized at Portland and
mulct in S7,000'for carryintr pa.s-seiigers-'in
excess of the ratio of
one'passengcr to every two tons
measurement, required by the ac'
of congress, under a penalty of
50 for each passenger in excess,
and 1000 for incorrectly report repert
ing: the number on board. The
Strathatrly, which has landed the
filthiest"";pt "of j3hinamen ever
carried across tho ocean on our
wharves, is. un. .517,000 for excess
passengers and incorrect reports,
and also forseveml thousand more
forhavingher bunks builtthe wrong
way. The Altonower, wijich had
pestHen'ceen6ugh" on - board to in
fect tho -whole continent, has been
in quarantine for several eelcs
and cannot possibly get out itisido
of thirty days. She has filled up
one of our hospitals with her
smallpox patients. The con
signees, it should bo stated, how
ever, have agreed to pay the ox
penses. But the Altonower, when
she has been let out of quar
antine, will have to be measured,
and the chances are that sho will
have to pav something likewise for
overcrowding. There seems to
be an idea abroad that these pen
alties are likely to bo remitted by
tlie president. The captain of tho
Bothwell Castlp, at Portland, ob
tained a stay of proceedings for
sixty days to appeal to Washing
ton. But we do not know upon
what grounds these applications
can be granted. Xo such relief is
ever extended to ship owners
whose ships bring excessive loads
of pasengers to eastern ports. If
law-breakers are to be more privi
leged on this side of the continent,
the fact, when known, will com
pletely demonstrate the weakness
of the Administration. These sea
tramps .arc constructively engaged
in an illegal traffic. They are
rushing in Chinamen so as to ten
der the exclusion act- of as little
value as possible. They have be
sides recklessly endangered the
health of the community, and. in
a largo souse, of the whole coun
try. If their charterers Chinese
man stealers in all cases, wo be
lieve could be more severely
punished, the ends of justice would
be promoted.
The World's Coal.
"A - Feexch statistician ha re
cently engaged in ascertaining
the amount of coal produced by
the' entire world in a given year,
the area of the coal fields of the
countries of the world in mjiuuc
miles, the labor employed in the
industry, etc. He has chosen the
year 18S0, probably because it as
the latest of which lie was able to
obtain reliable figures. In that
year, only .204,000,000 tons
wero produced throughout the
world, being 100,000,000- tons
more than wen; produced in JSG9.
Of this Grent Britain produced
one-half, with 81,933 men, each
man producing 303 Ions. Tlio
other countries employed 731,000
and produced their half, each man
producing :200 tons. Tho total
wages of the 1,519,933 men em
ployed aro estimated at G0,000,
000, giving an average cost for
labor of Is per ton. The value
per ton of coal in Great Btitain
is slated to be (is lid. ThK iivcs
a total value of XMGSO.OOl to tlio
147,000,000 tons produced in this
country. Tho .117,000,000 tons
produced by the other countries
aro valued at 8s od per ton, which
gives a total value of 01,710,000.
It is estimated that these amounts
must be at least doubled to gel at
the' cost to "tho consumer, includ
ing the " charge for transportation
and the profit of the' middle
men',"So that the aggrogale value
of the coal consumed during the
yoar in question may be given at
220,000,000 sterling. Xet to
Great Britain, Belgium is the
greatest coal producing country.
The United States and France
produce nearly equal quantities.
The future coal supnlv of the
world must be drawn from the
United Stales, if we aro to believe
tho figures before us, for tho coal
fields of this country have an area
of 19G,G50 square miles, while all
other coal-producing countries put
together have only an area of 1G,
491 squaro miles. Tho English
North American colonies have
7,530 and Great Britain 5,100
square miles, France and Prussia
each having u little over 900
"whilst Belgium has 510. "With
the great increase in the produc
tion of coal an increase has been
noted in tho development of rail
ways and the iron industry. The
production of iron has indeed in
creased at a faster rato than the
production of coal, for while coal
has increased 50 per cent between
18G9 and-1880, iron has increased
tiljjer cent. Tbis, however, we
are told is due to the great econo-my-of
fuel which has been affect
ing the manufacture of iron.
During the year 1S81 about
ton thouaaud miles of railroad
were built in this countrj', while in
tho eaily months of tho present
year work was prosecuted .at a
rato that if continued throughout
would nearly double the figures of
1SS1. The probabilities are, how
ever, that from this time on the
work will be less actively prose
cuted. Of the new roads built not
over one-half are paying expenses
and probablv inanv of them never
will.
