beans so cents per h., and other things in
proportion. Every party that starts from
the Sound should have their own supplies
TO last them three or four months, and
should bring the largest sized chinook
canoes, as small ones are very liable to
swamp on the rapids. Each canoe should
be provided with about 80 fathoms ofstrong
line for towing over swift water, and every
man well armed. The Indians here can
beat anything alive stealing, and if they
continue to improve in that art, they will
soon be able to steal mans grub after he
has eaten it. We have lost nothing so far
but little sugar, but others have suffered
severely. We are all in good health and
spirits, and expect to make raise here be-
fore we leave. We have oil promised to
write to different persons in Seattle, but
this will have to do for all, at present Let
everybody have a sight.

To Be EREcrED.-Mr G. A. ME1eOs, pro
priOtor Of the Port Madison mills, has just
returned from the Eastern States bringing
with him the machinery for Que Of the most
extensive saw mills, when completed, which
exists on the coast. Her engine will be Of
one hundred horse power. The mill will
run q gang Of saws-thirty in number-an
upright one, a lath, picket, and shingling
machine, planning machine, double sdger,
etc. It is expected that the mill will be
capable Of saving one hundred and twenty
thousand feet every "a hours; her machih-
cry having been selected by the owner from
the latest patterns, and combining all the
Improvements in late inventions. The mill
is being pushed forward to completion with
all possible rapidity, and when finished will
unqusstionably be the "mOdsl" numbering
establishment Of the Sound, being capable
Of emitting full One-third more lumber every
"a hours that the Port Gamble mills, which
at this time stands at the head Of this
branch Of business for perfectness in oil its
parts. Mr. Meiggs coutemplates entering
largely into the foreign trade.

Yours truly,

SAILORS BAR, FRAZER RIVER,
MaV 6, 1858.

Mr.. EDITOR We arrived at this place
on Sunday last, after hard struggling. 1t
is very hard for a stranger to form any
idea as to the distance from ono point to
another on the river, but we can estimate
the time, to-Wit: From the mouth of Fra.
ger river TO Fort Langley two days travel
from thence to Fort Hope three and hall
days from thence to Fort Yale six hours
travel; from thence to Sailors Bar, eight
hours. Gold can be found on all bars
from Fort Hope. Miners here are making
from Sc to S. per day each. All hands
have rockers. Quite q number of Indians
are at work here, and they make from 8 to
Is cents per pan. So far the principal
part of the gold is found on the surface,
and none of the miners have as yet sought
the bed rock. 1t is very hard to find
suitable timber for rockers, in fact as much,
if not more so, than to find tools to work
with. No man should attempt to go far
ther up the river than Fort Yale, for he
runs great risk of losing not only his ieEtas,
but his life. The river rises about 3 feet
per day.
Yours sincerely,
w. III. WooD.

~ Much matter, designed for thil
weeks issue Is unavOidably crowded out in
consequence Of the great draw on our col
umns BY late States and mining news We
had intended saying something on the sub.
ject Of new routes to the mines, in addition
to the one lately discovered by few Ore
gOn Editors. Among those in our mind,
are the Nachess and SnOqualmie PasseI
over the Cascade mountains, the trail from
Whatcom, and q fourth one which is Said
BY EudiaAs, (as good authority as Dryer
ever draws upOn) to exist in the vicinity
Of Mt Rainier, which latter route We would
recommend to the special attention Of Or
sgoniaus who place implicit reliance in al
that is said BY the editor Of the OrsgOnian
1t approaches nearest to the route via the
Dalles, and We suppose It will be generally
adopted BY those who are believers in the
saying that "ths farthest around is th,
nearest way home" We may touch upOr
this subject again next week.
