This enactment provides for widows resi-
ding in The Territory on l4th February
1853, (the date Of the act, and also for
such others "as shall locate" " in the Terri

would have been entitled 10 a claim under

in the second, to have been in actual course
Of emigration thither for the purpose of ma
king a claim, and TO have died on the way,
leaving a wife to enter the Territory as
widow Had the husband, in either case,
lived to make a claim TO a quarter section,
or 100 acres in his own right, he would
have been entitled TO receive patent for it
after having occupied and cultivated the
land for four consecutive years and under
the act of l4th February, 1853, he would
have had the additional privilege of acqui-
ring title by making payment to the Sur
veyor General for the land at 81 25 per
acre, after having occupied and cultivated il
for two consecutive years. All Of these
privileges are now made 10 inure 10 the wild
ow. She may either acquire patent by
occupying and cultivatng the land for four
consecutive years, or by paying for it as
aforesaid after two years occupation and
cultivation. Aher having made known her
claim, according 10 law and instructions,
should she die before the expiration of the
four years, " all the rights of the deceased
shall inure unto, and be vested in, the heirs,
at-law of such widow" who may acquire
title either by continued occupancy and
cultivation, or by payment, as the widow,
had she lived, would have been permitted
TO do. To secure the privilege Of making
claim under the law, a woman, alleging
herself 10 be widow, and so entitled, must
file with the Surveyor General her solemn
declaration before a magistrate, judge, or
other officer, having authority 10 receive
such declaration, Tor such declaration may
be made before the Surveyor General), set

case, TO wit, the object her husband had in
view in emigrating to Oregon; the paIticu-
lars attending his death whereabouts he
died and if on the way to Oregon, how
many days travel from the States the
number and names Of her children, if any,
and the time she entered Oregon west oflh
Cascade mountains, and any other particu-
lars she may see proper to give all Of
which to be sustained by the solemn deelar-
alton, oath, or affirmation, Of such witness
or witnesses as she can aduce, and the same
to be given with minuteness sufficient TO
satisfy the Surveyor General and in con-

prescribed, or indeed, otherwise, if more
convenient, in the same manner her husband,
had he lived, would have been permitted 10

Amazon and La Plata Rivers.

The Washington Union furnishes the fol-
lowing interesting as well as important in
formation in relation to events that will
throw open to the commerce Of our country
an immense and fertile region Of South A.
mellca:
"The last arrival from South America
brings us the gratifying intelligence that
Brlzu, the enlightened President of Bolivia,
by decree Of January 81, 1888, has thrown
open all the Bolivian tributaries Of the Am
azon and La Plata that are navigable, to the
commerce of the world, and offered reward
of ten thousand dollars TO the master of the
first steamer that shall reach any Of these
tributaries, either by the La Plata or the
Amazon.
Lieut.. Gibbon, who was sent out about
two years ago with Lieut.. Herndon, U. S.
Navy, to explore the Amazon from its sour
ces to its mouth, has just arrived. We have
had the pleasure of conversing with him on
this most interesting expedition.
He passed through the Bolivian provinces
which arc thus thrown open to the COM
merce Of all nations, and describes that
whole region as one Of the most beautiful,
productive and finest countries on the face
Of the earth. In his opinion, there are now
materials enough there to give rise 10 a com.
mcrce Of several millions Of dollars a year,
and that commerce Of this value would
spring up the moment a free transit is Sc
cured for it up and down the Amazon
through the territories Of Brazil.

From this decree, we think, will COM
mcncc new era for the Spanish republics
of S)ulh America.
The revolution which the free navigation
Of tn, Amazon and its tributaries, and OF the
La Plata and its tributaries, is to make ia
the commerce Of those republics, will be
greater than that wlacif the commerce of
Europe underwent in consequence of the

The silver orc has been takcn from the veins
until the miners reached the water, and then,
for the want OF the means of drainage, most
of these mines have been abandoned.
The machinery heretofore used in the
drainage of those mines was only such, our
readers should bear in mind, as could be
transported upon the back of mules from the
sea shore across the Andes. With the Am
azon open, it may be taken by water almost
10 the very spot where it is wanting, and of
course, then, with the ability to procure
larger machinery, this decree may be expect
