0HITIEH COLUMBIA,
Correspondence Of thu n. 7. Tlnes-1

T1c7oEtA, TuesdsJ. April u. 1aa.
We ars in the midst Of an exciting rush tor
the diegipgs, al11pst equal 10 that Of last year.
About sir weeks ago the weather suddenly mod
erated, and those who bud been Waitlng On the
Lower Fraser took ndyantnge Of tue low stage
Of tue water (which By its reduction Of tle cur
rents force, rendered the canons IsaesHbe tor
boats} to pass Oh the upper river aid l!:tnce
into the Canoe country, whence the must i::ror~
able accounts Of the richness Of the d12Elngs
hare been received. Later, this epidemic spread
to ports On the Sound, and ercn to this plaza,
aud now all the smaller towns in these waters
and on the Lower Frazer n1e comparatively de-
serted. Supplying these migratpr*, and filing
orders from The point toward which they a1e
proceeding, hus made trade very brisk here, and
although mouth ago stocks were large md
permanent gIut anticipated, the market is now
bare Of many staple articles.
iii a very encouraging feature Of this move~
ment that, although it has now lasted nearly
two months, nc reaction has taken place. Aii
who come down do SO to purchase goods and
confirm the accounts of the richness Of the dig
gngs, returning as speedily as possible. The
gold received is much increased in quantity,
{dcspitc thr interval If iG}encss which its re-
ceipt succeeded, is finer in quality tAan that Of
the Lower Frazer. and coarser in its particles
In the Canoe country, it il reported that with
rockers. {there being no lumber for sluices, the
average is from IT., 10 $5y day. The prices
Which the miners have been paving uti through
the senson for provisions, are certainly eo,robo-
ratiye OF the extraordinary accounts in qucs-
tion.
Another popularity Of the intelligence from
abo1c is that the diggings are not confined to
the bed OF tue river, but that good "pruspccis'
are had in the banks, thus insurin@ u long sea-
| son for working. Aud, as the gold region is
! now conceded to be equal in length ind far
| greater in breadth than that Of California and
! oregon. it needs no enthusiast to predict prt>-
| porous future for the colony.
The gold product Of Fraser River has been, in
spite oi draw bucks, much greater than is gen
orally known: 4 correspondent Of the Ga:<tft,
in san Francisco, recently compiled statistics
Of the SUM received previous to March II, at tue
Mint, and private aseay oitices, and it amounted
to upwards Of nine hundred thousand dollars
Much dust has been taken out of British Colnnl'
bsa into Oregon, wich is not included in the
! above. The shipment yesterday by the Brother
Jonathan, to San Francisro. from fictoria, was
| tyo,936. Quite u respectable sum to come from
/ a. humbug" gold region, as the product Of 9
| fortnght's stradc.
In one particular, these Colonies present
| more favorable picture than did California il
her early history. The goods they have con
sumcd hare been paid for, their remittance.
having very nearly equalled the yalue Of iul
ports. No such balance sheet could ever hare
been made cut Of Cafifornia's commercial rela
tons to the Eastern States as would now show
our relation to California.
