WALLA WALLA, March 26, 1861.
FRIEND LoD6E:
l promised in~my last TO inform you and
the readers of the Pioneer and Democrat,
the Grst invoice Of gold dust from the Nez
Perces mines. 1t affords me good pleasure
to inform you that some sixty ounces Of the
precious metal was received here on last
Saturday. 1t was brought down from the
mines by Mr.. Davis and the Hon. Sargent
Smith. These gentlemen give very hatter-
ing reports. My prejudices heretofore has
been against the mines, but now that gold
exists in the Mes Perces diggings is beyond
doubt, aud that in rich quantities.
An express from the Bitter Root coun-
try, few days since, brought news that
Major Owens had started a party Of his
employees to trade or capture from the
Snake Indians those Van Norman children
that were taken from the emigrants last
season. Mr. Cain, the Indian Agent, leaves
to-day for the Agency. Every body is
either talking about tho mines, or are going
there. In the course of three weeks, the
miners will be able to reach the mines with
out difficulty. AT present there is some
three feet of snow to contend with
Yours, WALLA.

About two hundred persons have, come
here from below during the past three OF
four days, and are now on their way to the
mines. We are in receipt of news from
there every few days. The accounts con.
tinue still more fattering; SO much-so that
many of our farmers, as soon as they get
their grain in the ground, will leave for the
mines. No pack animals have yet been
taken across the mountains on account Of
the snow being so deep. Mossman and
Malhersoa have started an express be-
tween Walla-walla and the mines, connect
ing with Tracy & c. at this place The
express will leave here every Monday
morning. For the benefit OF those who
start from your place and vicinity, would
say the best road from Walla-walla to
Snake river is the Nez Perce trails. The
fords to the different streams that the
trails cross are good at all times The

The news from the Nez Perco mines con-
tnucs 10 be of most favorable character
! have seen several parties from there, re
liable men that have known in California
as good miners; their reports Of the rich
ness and extent Of the mines arc very en-
couraging.
Those miners that have their caims
opened are making from ten to twenty dol
lars q day 10 the hand. The gold appears
to be very evenly distributed, affording
good average pay. The pay dirt is repre-
sented TO be about three feet in depth and
about the same quantity of top dirt to
throw of; the bed rock is o soft quartz
granite.
With rs the mines is the all absorbing
topic; everybody that can leave their bust
ness, talk of going as soon as the snow
mel;s, and prospecting parties can go out
and ascertain the extent of the dggins.
expect that VIC shall have q rush to this
country that will equal the rush 10 Fraser
river. The snow yet impedes the travel for
a distance Of about twenty miles, so rs to
stop pack trains, but in few weeks time,
the road will be clear. Some parties are
starting 10 look out q wagon road.
Captain Armstrong left here for the Nez
Perez country, in company with Mr.. Cain,
