Shooting Club Guilty Of Wasting Water Jury Decides, After Deliberating Twenty-two Minutes The Blue Wing Shooting Club was convicted Monday by a jury, of wasting artesian water, and was fined $300 by Justice Andrew H. Wilson, who presided over the seven-day trial in the Hall of Records. The club will appeal from the conviction and sentence, according to notice served on the court by defense attorneys. With two jury convictions of gun clubs recorded in the water cases, the district attorney's office declared its intention of taking further steps to stop the unchecked flow of water from artesian wells on gun club property. Injunction proceedings will likely be the next form of procedure, it was admitted. "Two juries have now found that the use of water by the gun clubs is unlawful. It is no longer a question of our own opinion or fancy in the matter," said Deputy District Attorney D. G. Wettlin, in announcing plans for injunction proceedings. "Since water is still being wasted by the gun clubs in the face of the established fact that its use is unlawful, we expect to do everything within the law to halt this violation of the law and conserve this water." Wettlin indicated that the state would not wait, for the court decision upon appeals from the jury convictions, but would resort to more speedy methods of checking the alleged waste of water. Armed with the two jury decisions rendered in the cases of the Blue Wing and the West Shore clubs, the district attorney's office hopes to convince the court, in an injunction proceeding, that the flow of artesian wells on gun club preserves should be halted at once. An injunction, it was pointed out, would equip the authorities immediately with the power of the court to stop the alleged waste. "An injunction," said Wettlin, "would enable us to force compliance with the law, whereas the convictions we have secured merely punish for violations of the law, without necessarily compelling conservation and flood control of waters of the Santa Ana river, has been completed so far as the field work is concerned. The data is now being compiled in the office of the state engineer, who advises that as soon as the report is ready, copies will be submitted to the boards of supervisors of the three counties and to this association. As soon as this report is received, it should be considered carefully by people in the three counties who are interested in complete flood control and conservation, to the end that the plan submitted, or some modification of it, may be put into effect at as early a date as possible, so that the water from this watershed may be desiluted, after which it can be sunk in the debris cone to replenish the supply which is so badly needed. It is hoped that this report will be ready before the first of the year, so that plans may be made for securing financial assistance from the state during the session of the legislature which begins January 1, 1927. Million Dollar Bill Co-operating with the Conservation Association of Southern California and other agencies throughout the state, this association has taken an active part in the campaign to secure from the federal government an appropriation of $1,000,000, to be matched by local interests for the building of fire protective systems on the four national forests in Southern California. An attempt to have this amount included in the federal budget was unsuccessful, but after that a bill was introduced providing for an appropriation by congress of $1,000,000 and, notwithstanding the fact that this bill did not have the approval of the bureau of the budget, it passed committees of both the House and Senate, which is quite a remarkable showing, in view of the economy program now being so strongly advocated by the administration. Even though the Million Dollar bill was defeated, an item of $100,000 was included in the second emergency deficiency bill passed by the last congress for commencing work on the fire prevention systems in the four national forests in Southern California.

With the duck shooting season scheduled to open October 15, the threatened injunction proceedings might seriously interfere with plans of the club hunters and spread consternation through their ranks. It was pointed out. The jury at the Blue Wing trial reached its verdict after deliberating 22 minutes. It retired at 5:10 p.m. and announced its verdict at 5:32. Lengfhy argument by counsel on both sides preceded the verdict. Deputy District Attorney Wettlin, opening for the state at 11 a.m., spoke for an hour and a half. He expounded the law covering the case, while District Attorney A. P. Nelson, who closed for the state, devoted his argument to the facts. The prosecution contended that the water used by the gun club was for no beneficial purpose and that, in any event, it was allowed to unnecessarily flow, regardless of beneficial use. Defense Attorneys L. A. West and George P. Adams argued that the flooding of the club lands had the beneficial purpose of reclaiming the soil for future cultivation and had already reclaimed it for pasturage; also that the ponds brought ducks and the ducks furnished a food supply. West used the blackboard for demonstrating through figures, that the club had used but a fourth of the amount of water allowed it under the statute. Nelson, arguing later, replied that the allowance stated by the statute referred only to beneficial use of the water, and he contended that it did not apply to the present case.

Beginning in 1875, many rich gold and silver boaring lodes were found, and by 1885 many of these were exhausted, although others were productive until 1905. The United Verde deposit was worked for silver about 1880, but the value of the copper output soon exceeded that of the silver, and it is now the richest deposit of pyritic copper ore in the United States. Since 1900, the dividends paid by this mine have exceeded $63,000,000, and although 2500 feet deep, it will probably be very productive for many years. The United Verde Extension ore bodies near by, discovered in 1915, have been highly productive, and to date over $20,000,000 in dividends has been paid by this mine. Both mines are in bodies of copper-bearing pyrite. The production of the mines of this group to date has amounted to about $130,000,000. The other metal mines of the area are in simple veins containing gold, silver, copper lead and zinc minerals. Some of these have been worked at considerable profit and have been explored to 1000 or 1500 feet below the surface. Many others have shown steady decline in grade at less depth. In some sharp decline in the yield of gold and silver took place at water level, 100 to 400 feet below the surface, and it is concluded that the upper zone has been enriched during erosion. Tables are given in the report showing the details of annual production of the metals since 1900 for each of the 15 or more districts in the area described. The total value of all metals produced to the end of 1923 is estimated at about $300,000,000. The sacred white elephant of Burma is to winter in the zoo at New York.

That company has the right to divert and pump the waters of Spring brook, in Fairmount park, Riverside, which flows directly into the Santa Ana river, and as a matter of fact, it did pump and use that water for several years during the last series of dry years which ended in 1905. This diminished the flow of water in the river going to Orange county in just the amount pumped by the Riverside Water Company, 306 inches. So long as that company can secure its supply in the San Bernardino artesian basin or in the bed of the Santa Ana river, or other points, it will not pump the water of Spring brook, which is then permitted to flow directly down to Orange county; but if the supply of the Riverside Water Company should be diminished in the San Bernardino artesian basin or Warm creek, it would naturally be compelled to pump the waters of Spring brook to the detriment of the people of Orange county.
