iron THE PIONEER AND DEMOCRAT. ]
The Treaty Of 1916.

Mr.. EDToR:-Not long since l visited
Semi-ah-moo, the temporary residence Of
the Commissioner, Mr.. Campbell, who was
appointed by our Government to mark out
the boundary line as described in the Treaty
with Great Britain. His principal astron-
omer, Lieut.. Parke, Of the Corps Of Topo-
graphical Engineers, has progressed with
his work Of running the 49th parallel Of
latitude with great ability, accuracy and
success. learned that the Astronomer on
the part of Great Britain is at the division
assigned to him, by mutual arrangement of
the parties. The point where this parallel
strikes the shore of the main land on the
Gulf Of Georgia has been marked out, say
two miles to the northward of Point Rob
erts. Thus far all seems to have been e1-
ecuted according to the Treaty.
There seems to be a difficulty on the part
of her Majesty's Commissioner appointed to
designate the channel Of separation between
the two Countries. Here the shoe pinches

delegate in Congress will use his best exer-
tions at the coming session for the creation
Of a wagon road the whole distance from
st. Paul to Seattle; yet it will probably
not be practicable to run a coach the whole
distance until the second year Bidders
should well consider these facts. In propo-
sing for this service they should propose as
advertised, to wit:-For covered wagons or
post coach service, with a proviso that the
FIRST year they should only be required to
use wagons where they can be used-it be-
ing understood that the service is in all
respects a STAR service, and the bids
" star" bids. All persons will see how
important a matter it is that they bid care
fully with regard to this service. In this
connection we would make this suggestion:
II our people feel desrous Of bidding for
this route, they should have at Washing
ton City person who is practically ac-
quainted with the business, in order to see
exactly how it stands before the depart
msnt and Congress If this territory sue
ceeds, in connection with Oregon, in get
ting an appropriation for a wagon road
between the points designated, a mail SER
vice will probsbly be put on the second
year, commencing in July, 1860. Believ-
ing, as we do, that the War Department
contemplate to occupy the northern route
by military posts for time to come, the pros
pect is certainly very plain that it is con
templated to establish an Overland mail be-
tween the points above named.
The service from San Francisco to st.
Louis and Memphis, is sOmi-weekly, at the
rate Of 5000 900 per anhum. Upon this
route the contractors had an entire year TO
putt into operation. The character Of the
northern route is well known; every camp
ing ground and location for a post is famil-
lar to many, and the only difficulty in the
way is that we have not had the same
amount Of labor performed upon it that has
been done upon the southern [Oute.
By way Of closing, we would direct at
ieution to two other routes-between Salt
Lake and the DallOs, and between Salt
Lake and ROseburg, Oregon; the service
o be rendered indf.een days-seml-month-
y--in covered wagons or post coaches.
These routes were bid for in pursuance Of
proposals. issued in the spring, without
Peeifyiug any particular mode Of convey
ince. The highest bids, as We learn, were
Or $ll, 900 and for $ls, 900, which amounts
we're evidently insufficient for the perform
NEE Of the duty. aud il was accordingly
Iecmed best not to alter the service, but
o advertise again as per published pro-
,Osals.

THE SANTA CRUz.-This splendid steam
ship, commanded by Capt. FAUsrLERoY,
arrived here on Saturday evening last from
Fort Langley, British Columbia, ria Vic
toria and intermediate ports on tho Sound.
From Capt. FAuNTLERoY We learn that the
navigation Of Frazer river has been closed
with ice for a short time, and that great
suffering was being experienced by the
miners, in consequence Of the severe cold
and the scarcity Of provisions. The Santa
crilz broke her way through the ice to
Fort Langley, and was instrumental in re-
lieving vast amount Of suffering. She
brought down to Victoria some three hun
dred miners. We learn from a passenger
who came up in the Santa Craz, that pro-
visions were very scarce above Fort Lang
10y, and that many miners were coming
down the banks Of the river on foot, and
that they were freezing and starving to
death all along the route. According to
present prospects, ample returns of gold
we're being awarded to the miner. As far
as the future Of the miners in British Co
lumbia is concerned, the present probabili-
ties look gloomy enough, That there will
be vast amount Of suffering in the mines
previous to the opening of navigation in
the spring, is clearly demonstrated, and it
is to be hoped that wherever chances offer
themselves for the rescue Of unfortunate
victims, that they will find coming to their
relief some generous commander of a steam
er as Capt FAUNrLEROr has shown himself
to be in the instance above referred to.
