Messrs. ]. w. Seaman and J. Bradford
who arrived in this city on Thursday eve-
ming from the new mines southeast of Flor
ence, have kindly furnished us the follow
ing items:
There are about 200 men at work in the
mines. 1t having been so short time, how
ever, since the opening of the mines that but
little can yet be said in relation to the ope-
rations of miners in general. They knew
of some twenty claims open which were
paying from one to five ounces per day.
One claim on Summit Flat, owned by
Messrs. j. Bradford, J. Smith, S. ]. Seaman,
and j. Glastonbury yielded in one day 3d.
1876. They worked sixteen men and four
rockers this day, the majority of the men
being engaged in stripping. This claim is
the richest yet struck, and is the exception
and not the rule. The largest yield on this
claim was forty ounces to one rocker in a
half day. Miners were at work on three
creeks, namely: Smiths Gulch, Warren s
Gulch and Summit Flat Gulch Reports of
new disgings being found in the vicinity
we're every day current. Mr. Bradford was
one of the discoverers of the mines, and
gives his opinion that they are extensive
Of this, however, he is not prepared to speak
positively He thinks they may safely be
set down as "ounce diggings." He dis
posed of his onefourth interest in the claim
above referred to for $4,000
Mr.. Seaman showed us several ounces of
the dust. 1t resembles that of Salmon riv-
er; is perhaps little more mixed with
quartz than the Salmon dust Mr. S. also
brought down some quartz specimens OBJ
tanned from the rich claim above spoken of.
He had about four ounces of the dust as
sayed at Lewiston. 1t is marked 636 fine :;
about 81 3,35 per ounce. The bar is of very

The Division Question.

WALLA WALLA, Aug. 2S, 1862.
EDS. STATEsMAN-My attention has been att
tracted to an exceedingly erratic ebuition from
the pen of some contributor to the Golden .Age;
signing himself an g" Old Resident" upon the
subject of division of the Territory and the for
nation Of new State. The writer possesses a
fertile Imagination, and is apparently as much
overioyed at the prospect of an immediate trans
mogrifcationj as a very small boy would be with
a bran new pair of boots. ave cannot as vet
realize the great change that will soon take place
in our new State of Idaho !" Who can foretell
the future of our new State Idaho!" "What will
be the effect of hundred thousand people added
to our new State of Idaho ?" Citizens of Idaho.
wake up take courage and be of good cheer
There is good time coming" "Who shall say
that we cannot contain prosperous and happy
people, and prove ourselves a loyal people to our
constitution ?" These are few extracts from the
article referred to; and the inspiration which
placed upon the record such an array of brilliant
and sparkling thoughts, must have been greater
than is ordinarily allotted to the human mind
The writer was either laboring under the influence
of fresh draft from the Inspiring bowl" or
else under the metamorphose of State, he was
j ust stepping into the halls of the national Con-
gress. The latter, / conclude, was the more
probable cause of the enthusiastic outburst.
Do the people-the bona .fde residents and
producers of Washington Territory--desire di-
vision of the Territory, or is the question subject
of interest only to few political bummers and
greedy aspirants for positionP l have Travelled.
about among the people considerably, my busi-
ness having called me from point to point in the
amongst the agricultural and
mining classes-and have entirely failed to dis
cover that the people weFeiR favor of division
but on the contrary tley almost universally look
upon such a scheme unfavorably, and as fraughts
with no good to themselves or the Terrtory.-5
Believing these to be tie sentiments of the peo-
ple-and those people particularly who have the
welfare of the Territory at heart-there cannot
be any necessity for division on this score The
referred to makes no attempt at
an argument in favor of a division-advances no
reasons in support of the scheme-and therefore
it will be time enough 10 produce some of the
reasons that may be advanced in opposition, after
tangible shall have been presented by
the division agitators. For myself it is only
necessary to remark at present that | am opposed
to any division of the Territory at this time, be-
ieving that such action would be inexpedient and
lnwise, and fraught with burthens that ourgpeople
are lily prepared to assume

Particulars of the Killing of the Grand
Ronde Indians.

Corporal Almon, of Company E, has
kindly furnished US the particulars of the
fight between the detachment of soldiers
sent out to the Grand Ronde Valley by Col.
Steinberger few weeks since, with orders
10 arrest and bring to the post certain lead
ers of the tribe of Indians who were threat
ening to molest and drive off the settlers in
the valley. Capt. Curry reached the camp
of the Indians late in the evening. They
had encamped in a small valley about three
miles north of the Grand Ronde, and having
heard of the contemplated movement of the
soldiers thither, were preparing to remove
their camp to some more safe place in the
mountains, when the soldiers came upon
them. The Captain Immediately made them
acquainted with his errand, and the leaders
agreed to be prepared in the morning to
accompany him. Early the next morning
an Indian was dispatched for the horses, but
was seen by one of Curry's men to drive
them from the camp across a ravine near
by. The Indian returned with the report
that he could not find the horses Again
at Curry's request, an Indian was sent out,
attended with the same result. They had
now succeeded IN driving the horses to a
spot where they deemed them safe, when
they boldly refused to comply with the
agreement of the night previous. The lead
ers were inside of the camp, including
Dreamer, the chief and two sub-chiefs of
the tribe. With two or three men and
ropes, Capt. Curry entered the camp for the
purpose of securing them in order to bring
them in by force. The moment he stepped
inside, Dreamer drew pistol and fred at
him, but without effect. Almost simulta-
neously the Captain fred, killing Dreamer,
when the chief fired an ineffective shot, and
Immediately received two balls from Curry s
pistol Upon hearing the firing the Indians
outside, to the number of fifty or more,
opened fire upon Curry's men, which they
psturned, killing three Of the Indians. Upon
this the Indians hastily retreated, leaving
four of their number dead and one or two
wounded. After the occurrence, Capt. Cur
ry camped two or three days at the lower
end of the valley, during which time he
held wa-wa with some of the friendly
Indians, chief Tim-ti-mish among them
They are reported to have declared them
selves satisfied with the result, and no dam
ger is appuehended of further trouble to the
settlers. We understand the settlers, how
ever, have petitioned the commander Of the
post to station a company of soldiers in the
valley until quiet shall have been restored.
There may be no danger of further depre-
dations, but under the circumstances a de-
scent upon the settlers is liable to occur at
any time.
