REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF TEA.--
The tea spectators are likely to be
bitten as severely as the sugar and
flour spectators. The shipments from
China ports to the United Statets du-
ring the months Of June, July and
August appear to have been double
that of last year during the same time.
Good quality of black and green teas
have recently been sold in New York,

ton of 20 cents pound from the
prices obtained short time ago.

anything else. do not know about the
other party. M
This morning all hands started for the dig.
gings, a miles) but in about Is minutes after
starting, our largest canoe again gave us trou-
BILE; for, although two Indians were steering
her, she sheered off into the middle of the
rapids, where the current runs about 8 knots
an hour; and, seeing that she was about to
gil, the Indians told US to let the rope go, but
not before the rope got loose in the bow, and
part of the gunwale broken; so that, while
all the others went on, We were obliged to
turn back, and are now alone, anxiously wait
ing for the other two canoes to come back
for us.
There are two other rapids to go up before we
reach the diggings, and which, we are told, are
ten times worse than those we passed over yes
terday.
We have prospected on several bars, and on
one Of them we got from Q to 25 cents to the
pan, and took only the top dirt On another We
got from to 10 cents to the pan. We could not
stop at the former place, as the Indians would
not allow us, and We were not strong enough for
them.
The Indians were all at work themselves, and
we saw two or three pans with about 80 cents in
each. At the latter place we cannot work to
advantage without . quicksilver machine. An
old California miner says that this place very
closely resembles the North Fork Of the Ameri-
can River in California, and that he believes richer
mines will be discovered here than have ever
been discovered in California.
A few miles below this there is q party Of
whites, who were to have sluice in operation
either to-day or tomorrow. An Indian has just
arrived in canoe, and be tells me the sluice is
in operation, and that they are taking out "hi-yu
Tor plenty gold" ea
Major Tidd and Mr.. Finnigan have both started
over to see them. 1s
Parties coming up Frazer's River should have
canoes, Il possible, and manned by Indians; and
they ought to keep watch every night and day,
for the Indians on this river viii steal any and
everything within their reach In going up the
river, they should never interfere with their In
dams, but permit them to go by any route they
see ct to select and to load the canoes as they
please. When at Fort Hope, they should be very
careful to select good and smart Indians, and to
have one who can speak the Chenook jargon.
Whatever an Indian in the canoe says should Be
carefully observed BY every white man, for the
Indians know the river thoroughly, and they will
do the best they can, II let alone, and there will
be less risk Of accidents. A crew Of Indians
should be hired from Point Roberts 10 Fort Lang
10y, then new crew from that place to Fort
Hope, and anew crew from there to the diggings,
or higher up the river Indians from Fort Lang
ley to Fort Hope arc paid q per day, with pro
visions three times day-moFning, noon and
night. From Fort Hope 10 the diggings they are
paid q per day, with provisions
Major Tidd and Mr.. Finnigan have returned,
and they fully confirm the Indians reports.
They say the miners are clearing Gt least SO
per day to the man.

A BEAUTIFUL SHEET OF WATER.

"What beautiful sheet of water!" said
our friend Smith, as he gaEed for the first
time upon our waters. We had heard the
same remark before, and we looked at our
friends countenance and noted its expression.
1t came from the bottom Of his heart we
saw that the remark was uttered in the full
confidence Of its originality, and we said,
-" You are right, Smith; it is a magnificent
sheet Of water" We Immediately launched
out on our favorite theme. The weather was
beautiful and the atmosphere unusually clear.
The surface of the Sound was as smooth as
glass. A few sails and small craft were to
be seen here and there, patiently waiting for
a breeze. Here and there the native canoe
was either gliding slowly along with its sol.
itary occupant, bearing his spear, and intently
gazing into the clear waters beneath him,
watching for his fnny prey, OrmOving rapidly,
conveying its swarthy family to some new
camp for pleasure or gain; or its less skilful
movements indicated freight and passengers
for the El Dorado. Olympus, with his SER
rated range Of snowy hills on the one hand,
and the dark blue outline of the Cascades,
surmOunted by the towering peaks of Old
Rainier and Mount Baker on the other, IN
spired us to enlarge on this our fayorite
subject. We expressed wish for the paint
er's art, and called Smiths attention to the
richness of the violet tinge that decorated
the snow line of the distant mountains, the
purity of the silver that ornamented few
fitting clouds on the horizon, and the depth
Of the transparent haze that intervened. We
talked Of this pathway for ships and its many
harbors, of its fish and oil. We looked at
the bold green shores, and our mind imme-
diately reverted to spars, piles and piles Of
lumber, and vast fields Of coal, rich farms
and happy homes; and as the fresh pure
breeze sprung up and started the whole scene
into life, the purity Of the air we breathed
invigorated us anew. No fever threatened
to shake US, no burning suns or biting frosts
encouraged disease, but promised us health
and even tempers. In our enthusiasm we
slapped Smith on the back and said, "Smith,
my dear fellow, bring your wife and children,
and settle with u.s." When we alluded to
piles Of lumber, Smith smiled; and, if we
could have presented hrm with saw mill,
and insured hima cargo or two of lumber on
the spot. We feel assured that he would have
said Yes;" as il was, he merely observed
I" Perhaps" Smith has gone, but we have
great cOnfdencein the impression made upon
him; and if he does not get the gold fever
down the Sound, we feel confident that he
