aglne from my long continued silence that 7
have "seceded" from the CT lumns of the Har.
aid, my time has been so fully occupied Of
late as to render correspondence out of the
question.
The new mines in the Mes Perce country
IS with US the most exciting theme. Our
citizens are leaving daily, and at present this
City reminds me OF Auburn during recess
OF Court or Sacramento after adjournment
of the Legislature.
There is now no doubt of the extent and
value of these mines. Cid and experienced
miners with whom have conversed com.
pare it to California in 40. Every man is
busy, wages range from IS to $s per day.
Companies are already formed to hume the
tributaries of Clear water River, and several
saw mills are in process of erection. Were
l inclined TO be scep,ical as to the richness
OF these mines, the fact that Of 1000 men
who have gore thither not one has returned
dissatisfied, would relieve ME of my fears.
would not advise any one to leave paw.
ing claim or business to visit this country.
but to my old friends and others who have

| would say, come. The sooner the better,
confident that this is no Kern River or
Gold Beach humbug.
The mines are easy of access, steamers
running to within 40 miles Of the digcnes.
via DalIes and Walla Wala. The total cost
of passage from Portland to terminus of
navigation is SAL, board on steamers free.
The Republicans of this State finding
their party Organization about "played out"
are seeking to add strength to their ranks
by the cry of "Union," word which is
when spoken with sincerity, dear to the
heart of every true American, but a union
aciM their party principles, is trust obnoxi-
Gus to every patriot, let us hope that right
not might may triumph.
see 10y the HERALD that the Railroad is
II fixed fact, and congratulate all friends
of the enterprise upon their triumph over
the forces Of "Old Foggies," ana trust
when next visit Auburn, to enjoy a ride
