FRAZER RlVER-THE LATEST.
We learn from Mr.. Lewis Dorr Just down
from the mines, that Frazer river is falling
rapidly, water being now four feet below high
water mark. The miners are not doing much
now, but it is confidently expected that a
great number will be able to get to work
within ten days or couple of weeks. The
claim, of which Mr.. Dorr is one of company
mile above Fort Yale, and it is thought it
will yield handsomely as soon as the river
falls. Provisions cannot be had without pay
ing The most exorbitant prices such as $50
per bol. for black -four At Fort Hope good
Hour is worth $50, sugar 90 cents per pound,
md other articles in proportion.
AT Fort Yale, there is little or nothing TO
be had for love or money. Mining aud cook
ing utensils are very scarce, and enormous
prices are obtained for them. The Hudsou's
Bay Company had seized the mining mple.
ments Of some miners on Hills bar, for vio.
la:lng the law in regard to trafickiug, which
excited considerable Indignation among the
miners.
MIR. Dorr thinks the best way to reach the
diggings on Frazer river is by water, and not
the trail, as the Frazer river will be navga-
Bile for canoes within a week or two.
The Satellite, on Monday last, overhauled
eleven canoes containing minere, and ascer-
tained that all were provided with licenses
before allowing them TO proceed on their
way Victoria Gazette.
