From the Dalles Journal, Oct. 2l.
New and Rich Gold Discoveries on the
Ei-mII-ka-meen River.

An expressman named Mcclure, arrived
at the Dalles in the early part of the week
from Capt. Archer's command, reports the
discovery of rich gold diggings on the 81.
mil-ka-meen river, about five miles from
the camp. According to our informant,
the discovery is confined to q small bar on
the river, which is being worked by sold
ierS, Quartermaster's men, and a large
number Of Indians The men from camp
go down after breakfast, walking distance
Of FIVE miles, and working not more than
half day, average about 500 to the hand.
This is without the ordinary conveniences
for mining, and with nothing but picks,
using frying pans for washing out. With
rockers" it is estimated that from $50 to
5000 to the hand could readily be taken
out. We have not learned that any Of the
neighboring bars have been prospected, but
it eau scarcely be possible that the rich de-
posits are confined to one locality, and
When thorough examination is had it is
more than likely that rich strikes will be
made all along the course Of the river
Mr. Mcclure, who is represented to US as
an entirely reliable man, says that he him
self visited the dggings, and saw the min
ers at work, taking out gold at rate fully
equal TO that stated. 1t is represented
that the officers in command are very anx-
ious to conceal all knowledge of the dis
covery, they apprehending an immediate
rush, that in the present condition of the
country must be attended with great pri-
vations. The nearest point at which sup
plies necessary to the miner can be OBJ
tained is Colville, which is over one hun
dred miles distant from the newly diseov-
cred mines. The Indians, too, are repre-
sented to be decidedly hostile, and mas
much as the troops are about to remove,
miners would be exposed to constant at
tacks from savage foes. We mention these
facts as caution against wild and head
long rush, but should the mines prove half
as rich as represented, not all these dan-
gers twice over would serve to check the

ter between Olympia and Victoria, connec-
ting at the latter place with the California
Steam Navigation Co.'s steamer BrOihey
lenaiAan, which vessel has been placed per
maneutly on the route between San Fran
cisco and Victoria, in opposition to the
Pacific Mail Steam Ship Co. The Ham
will convey the JOnatAan's freight and pas
sengers to all points on the Sound, imme-
diately on her arrived from San Francisco.
Her freight charges viii be such as to make
4 advantageous to ship by the Jonathan.
Oregon has been persistent and consistent
in her opposition to the mail line, and if
our merchants act the same, by united ae-
ton we can cOmPst that company to exhibit
= greater spirit Of accommodation. The
mail company has never been guilty Of an
act Of accommodation, so far as has ever
cone to our knowledge Freight, unless
carried for the military, was landed no
where else than at EsquimauIi, Port Town
send. or West Olympia. The price Of a
passage from here to San Francisco costs
an olymPian $50, (recently it was $50, }
whilst an Englishmau's fare is but $40
The JnafAaa's charges being the same, we
hope our people viii sustain the opposi-
tion- By taking the Hsat or Julia here
for Victoria, (the fares on which vessels
are respectively $l9 and $l5) our cOmmu-
nifty can save the odd SIS without the
least inconvenience TO themselves.

COLUMBIA AND Missouri WAGON Road
Our latest advices from this important
work, in which our readers feel a special
aud marked interest, are up to October
9th, at which time Lieut.. Mullan, with his
working force, was camped at the western
base of the Occur d'Alene mountains and
working over the summit. The road across
this divide would occupy until the 10th of
October, when the wagon train would pre-
pare to cross, and from the point to the
Bitterroot river, a distance of 80 miles the
road would be located in the valley of the
St Francis de Borgia, which is represented
as most wooded.
The general expectation was that they
would reach the Bitterroot by the lst Of
November. The work to the mountains is
represented as severe and difficult, but thus
far the most complete success has marked
the movements of the expedition. Mr.. En-
gle, one OF the topogr0phers, was still abb
sent, exploring the country towards Fort
ColVille, to ascertain if that point could
not be connected by a wagon road with
the road to Fort Benton.
The Indians were all quiet, and are
aroused at the zeal of the Boston" in
building a road through their mountain
homes, deemed hitherto impracticable.
Mr.. KOlecki was mapping the line of
road as constructor, and running a line of
levels over the same.
Heavy and cold rains for two weeks
have somewhat impeded the general pro-
gress of the work, but when the express
left Lieut.. Mullan's camp the weather was
represented as mild and pleasant, and no
fears were entertained of snow.
There are few works now in progress
that tend more to the development and ad-
vance Of the North Pacific coast than the
successful opening Of this new route across
the continent, aud with ell our heart we

HERALD IrEMs.-The following items we
clean from the Steilacoom HeraIdi

PAINFUL ACCIDENT.-We regret to learn that on
Friday l4h inst, the wife Of Mr. John Rigney, living
about six miles from SteilacOom, met with a very
painful and serious accident. 1t seems that about
of that day. while in the act Of placing the din
ner for the family on the table, her dress, Of light
muslin came in contract with the fire on the hearth,
and in instant her entire person was enveoped in
flames. Before the flames were extnguished, one arm
and side were very badly burned. By the timely ap-
plicatOn Of remedies, she relieved of pain in
day or two, and is now doing we'll.
ANoTHER.-We are grieved to state that Mr.. o. P.
Meeker last week met with serious accident, which
cOmpes him to walk crutches A horse which he
riding ut the time Of the accident happening to
stumble and fall Mr.. Meeker had the misfortune to
fall under him, and when extrcated was found to be
much injured in the legs.
The same paper also states that the
store of Mr.. G.. Gallagher was broken into
by a soldier from the garrison on the night
of Monday, the 2Oth ult., and his property
such as stoves, tinware, papers, &C.
scattered in sad confusion about the floor
Robbery does not seem to have actunted
the man in efecting an entrance. In
drunken Inconsistencies be appears to
have mistaken the store for the hospital.

expressman who brings this news, says
that he has been all through the California
mining districts, but no where has he seen
dirt that prospected SO we'll as that at the
Si-miIka-meen gold mines. The discovery,
we are told, was made by Serg't Compton,
in whose honor the locality has been named

as yet we have of no departures for the

FRoN VICroRIA.-By the arrival here
on Wednesday last Of the steamer Wilson
G. Hum, Capt. WEIGH, we were placed in
possession of full files Of Victoria papers to
the goth ult., for which Mr.. FosrER, the
accommodating Purser Of that vessel, will
accept our thanks.
The Hunt left at Victoria the bark
Almatia, to sail same day for Puget Sound.
Brig w. D. Rioe sailed on Monday for
Steilacoom. OF Foulweather/ Bluff saw
bark Jenny Ford for Honolulu, and bark
Oak Hill for San Francisco. At Seattle,
bark d. w. Scranton loading for San
Francisco
Gen. Scorr has his headquarters on
board the steamer Massachusetts,, lying at
the south end Of HidalgO Island. He has
not yet visited San Juan.
The Cutter Jeff. Daris arrived at Vic
toria on Saturday, having on board Col.
GEO. W. LAY, bearer Of dispatches from
Gen. SCoTT to Gov. DOUGLAS.
The Cutter left Victoria on Monday for
HidalgO Island, with a reply to ASndis-
patches of Gen. Scorr.
The Cutter Joe Lane communicated with
Victoria on Monday night and left for San
Juan.
The prevailing impression among our
British neighbors at Victoria is, that there
will be a joint occupancy of San Juan
Island, and that the American forces, with
the exception of Capt PIcKErr's company,
will be removed. We do not believe Gen.
Scorr will consent to any such arrange
ment.
The report that Gen. Scott had declined
treating with Gov Douglas because he was
not his equal in rank, and the Governors in
dignity thereat, in denying him the hospital
ity Of bis house, we regard as sheer fabrica-
tions, eminating from some idle brain. We
believe Gen Scott will treat With any one,
though he were but corporal in the Brit
ish army, provided he be notified of the
fact that such power had been conferred,
and until then, he will probably decline to
meet any one in negotiation.
From the Gazette Of the goth we learn
that party Of three italian miners had
been murdered by the Indians near the
Fisheries on Frazer river, Oh the preceding
Thursday, and their boat pillagcd of its
cargo. The boat was picked up by an In
dian and conveyed to New Westminster.
When found, two of the men were dead,
one Of whom, tied to the mast of the boat,
bad three bullets in bis body. The third
was still living when discovered by the In
dian, who conveyed him to New Westmin-
stcr, where he expired shortly after having
reached the barracks, to which he was car.
