The Upper Columbia Mines.

Several miners have lett here this week
for Colville, with the intention of visiting
the region of the new discoveries on the
upper Columbia. A further confirmation
of the news of the rich discoveries up there
will insure a general stampede in that di-
rection this fall, and mining excitement
equal to any that has taken place in the
upper country. For our own part we shall
stand ready to believe any reasonable sto-
ries of gold mines that may come from
there from the evidences seen seven years
ago of the existence of coarse gold depos-
its in that country. The locality is said to
be much easier of access than the Carriboo
mines. The Columbia is navigable for
small steamers nearly up to the gold re-
gion.
The headwaters of the Columbia and
Kootenai are now the only portions of the
upper country that have not been pretty
generally prospected, and the opinion has
long been entertained that both localities
were rich in gold, from the feet that the
Indians have, from time to time, since the
first discovery of gold at Colville, on their
return from their fishing and hunting ex-
cursions, brought into Colville specimens of
coarse gold which they stated came from
there, The old Hudson Bay traders and
trappers describe the country of the upper
Columbia as gold bearing in appearance,
and the Red River and Minnesota emil
grants, who have come to Colville by the
northern passes of the Rocky mountains,
tell much more favorable story of the ge-
illogical formation of that country, from
the mountains to the Kootenai and Pen d.
Oreille lakes. We saw, in 1856, specimens
of coarse gold brought down from the up
per Columbia by the Indians, which they
stated they found about seventeen day S
travel from Colville, fnd one also-weigh-
ing S5,25-from the Kootenai country
The latter, we believe, is yet in the pos
session of Mr.. Mcdonald, at old Fort Col
Vile.
The reason why the upper Columbia has
not been prospected ere now, is, that the
Indians would not allow the early miners
to ascend the Columbia higher than the
mouth of the Pen d'Oreille, Frequent at
tempts were made by miners during the
seasons of sc and 81 to go up the river to
prospect, but they were as often turned
back by the determined opposition of the
Indians. The same cause prevented them
from going eastw ard, and since that time
the discoveries and excitements in other di-
rections have occupied the attention of ad-
venturous prospectors. Now, we are told,
the presence of the troops at Colville in
timidates the Indians, and they interpose no
strenuous objections to miners prospecting
in their country.

not been quite so sultry for the past few

EMBARGo-An embargo has been laid
by the collectors of customs for Oregon
and Washington upon the shipment of any
kinds of live stock into the British domin-
ions This is done in obedience to an or
der of the Government that no live stock
shall be exported from the Uunited States
during the existence of the present war
Much dissatisfaction is expressed in the
Puget Sound country on account of en-
forcement of this order there-the people
claiming that it was evidently never intend
ed to apply to this coast. It blocks up their
market for live stock, which has heretofore
been shipped to British Columbia, leaving
them entirely without market for their
beef cattle If this order is continued in
force long our British neighbors at the
North will have starving time of it, as
their country does not furnish them half
supply of beef Since the enforcement of
the order, beef cattle in the British Column
bia mines have gone up from forty-fve to
fifty per cent The Collector of the Pu-
get Sound District has had hard time en-
forcing the order, and has met with much
opposition by exporters.

Farming Prospects Of the Boise Country.
The united opinion of those who have en-,
gagged in farming this season in the vicinity
of the Boise mines, is, that agriculture can
never be made profitable there The soil of
the valleys which looks so inviting to the
agriculturist in early spring is represented
as very light aud sandy and vegetation up
on it dries up before midsummer Along
the rivers, where all The best land lies the
soil is mostly made land"--a dark sandy
loan, very light and as the waters in the
rivers recede, the land dries out by the un-
derdrain. Irrigation cannot be applied in
many places, in consequence Of scarcity of
water, and where it has been attempted it
has proved almost an entire failure on ac-
count Of the lightness of the soil. These
causes render the land entirely uusuiled to
the growth of any variety of grain, and Of
most kinds Of vegetables But for the pro-
duction Of vegetables, excepting the most
hardy varieties, even if the soil were well
suited, the climate is not adapted on ac-
count of f'frosts. We are informed by those
who have been in the Boise and Payette
valleys during the summer, that heavy frosts
have fallen there every month, and that the
vines planted there were killed as soon as
they came up: Experiments were made by
planting both early and late.
