THE WASHINGTON STATESMAN
MORNING, MAY I'd, 1865
The News.

The news from the East indicates that
active hostilities are about to commence.
New Orleans is threatened by rebel army
said to number $4,000 men. Another ar
my Of rebels, numbering 10000, are oper-
ating against the Union army on the south
side of the Potomac Gen. Foster is be-
sieged in Little Washington, North Caro-
lima, by the rebels; and Gen. Hooker has
probably made an attempt to cross the
Rappahannock above Fredericksburg. Per-
haps his movements in that direction are
intended to deceive the enemy, while the
real point of attack is elsewhere. Part of
Gen. Grants army, before Vicksburg, is to
reinforce Gen. Rosecrans. A large portion
of the Union iron-clad fotilla has passed
Vicksburg, and is now operating between
that point and Port Henderson, and effec-
tually cutting off the rebel supplies from
Texas and the Atchafalaya river. 1t is
very difficult to form any idea Of the ad-
vantages gained by either side; but the
Confederates are evidently elated by the
repulse of the Unionists at Charleston.
Gen. Hunters inactivity before Charleston
is exciting unfavorable comment from the
Union press.

be about fifty miles from Placervillc The
roads to Boise mines from Auburn arc
in good condition, and wagons so to within
twelve miles of Placervile. Grass and

At Auburn, the miners are at work, and
Mr.. Shepherd informs US that the Auburn

from and after last Monday This, in con-
nection with the small dtches, will give
water to most of the Auburn mining
district
There has been new diggings discovered
between Auburn and Eagle creek, which
are said to prospect from sc cents to $6
to the pan. To these diggings, water will
have to be carried by ditch about 2 miles
The road from Auburn to this city IS as
good as could be expected at this season of
the year.
Placerville and Banncck city are improv-

sawyers making as high as $40 per day to
the saw.
Vague reports reach us of new and OK
tensivc diggings having been discovered in
basin some % or 80 miles south of War
ren's diggings. The report seems to need
confirmation.
The news from the bars on Salmon is
still very encouraging Miners report that
they are making from 81 to an ounce per
day; and the high water will probably not
interfere with operations during the sum
mer, as the pay dirt wherever the bars pay
at all-in most cases extends above high
water mark ; and in some places along
the river the ''frst benches" equal the bars
in richness, and can be more successfully
worked during the high water than in the
latter part of the season. The great advan-
tage in mining on the Salmon bars is that
miners can work nearly all the year round.

FROM WARREN DIGGINGs.-From a
private letter, 10 a gentleman of this city,
we earn that the miners at Warren's camp
have commenced work. The snow, at the
date the letter was written, was from TO
l II feet deep on the meadows, and on
TIE mountains from three to four feet deep.
The weather was warm and pleasant. In
the mines, bacon was selling at 81 per
pound -four, sugar and coffee, 75c The
writer says it is an uncommonly civil min
ing camp considering the large stock of bad
" hisky on hand The trail between that
place and Florence is in fair travelling con-
dition.
, 1863-05-02

ty, except Florence, has yet developed its min
ing resources to advantage, is lack of population
This evil has been aggravated by periodical
"rushes' for new scenes of adventure which have
been encouraged by the newspaper press to the
profit of the owners offerries and wayside houses,
and the detriment of the permanent business in
terests of the country.
To read the mining news of this section of
country, one would suppose that there was no
place but Boise; Orc Fino was worked out Elk
city never was a good mining camp; Newsome's
creek humbug, and Florence the biggest sell
since Similkameen. All this is to be inferred
from the sileroe of the press in regard to these
places,
If the true interests of the country are con-
suited, the new mining discoveries will be left
alone, or only so much reported about them as
may be thoroughly authenticated. In this way
the judgment of individuals will be left unbiased
by exciting stores which in nine times out of ten
are founded on truth, but so exaggerated that
they bear but faint resemblance to the reality.
The injury inflicted by this course of procedure is
incalculable, and it is time it should be stopped

ever, that the ground for thirty miles around is
claimed. l do not know how many claims man
is allowed to hold in this camp, or how much
ground for one claim, but do know that there
are men here who claim something less than a
section of land, and say. too, that they have
not bought any claims. This is undorbtly rich
gold country, bu. overIated fully as much as were
the Salmon river mines
There is quite an excitement here at present
about a new, rich, and extensive gold region, on
the head waters of Wood river. l am of the
opinion that there is gold in that direction, but
as yet have been unable to see any one, who
has seen any one who has been there, or seen any
gold from there.
Provisions and goods of all kinds are very low,
caused by the great quantity on hand.

From the Bitter Root, the Beaver Head
and Missouri River,

From the Bitter Root, the Beaver Head
and Missouri River,
Mr.. Charles Hutchins, indian Agent for
the Flathead INDIANS, arrived in this place,
from the Bitter Root country on Tuesday
last. We are indebted to him for the fol-
lowing items of news from the Rocky
mountains, and the Missouri river.
Mr.. Hutchins came by way of the Pen
a Oreille lake, and found the rivers much
swollen by melting SHOWS, and travel much
impeded in consequence.
In the month of January, horrible kill
ing affair occurred near the Flat Head
Agency, in which some persons, wellknown
in this vicinity, were the principal actors
Their names were Mitchell, Reeves and
Moore. These three men went into an In
dian camp near the Agency, and raised a
disturbance, killing t@o of the Indians on
the spot Two white men came on the
ground to see what had taken place, when
five more of the Indians and the two white
men were killed by the Reeves party. The
Indians who we're killed belonged to band
of mountain Snakes. Reeves and party
were banished from the country for the part
they had taken in the affair, six hundred
miles from the Agency, butat last accounts
were in the Deer lodae valley.
Quartz mining at the Beaver Head dig
gings was creating much excitement; and
claims had been sold ct $4,000 and $1O,-
900, and, in one instance, $4,000 was re-
fused. A large influx of mining adventu-
rers was expected from the Western States,
and prosperous time is expected
New discoveries have been made on the
head of Gold creek, which flows touards
the Pacifc-probably tributary of the
Bitter Root river. They are spoken of as
very rich, but their extent and character
are not yet determined.
The Blackfeet Indians are very trouble
some, and frequent depredations are COM
mitted by them. Recently, Mr. Frank
Worden, of Hellgate, started for Fort Ben
ton with train of thirty animals, intend
ing himself, 10 go down to St Louis, and
the Indians stole all of his animals The
General Government is paying these In
dians an annual stipend of $500 a year
to keep the peace, which had better be ex-
pended in powder and lead. This opinion
is universally entertained in that region,
and it viii probably have some influence
in determining the conduct Of the Govern
ment towards these incorrigible savages
A batteau, loaded with passengers left
Fort Benton this spring, with one hundred
and fifty pounds of gold from the Beaver
Head mines. The display of such eviden-
ces of the mineral wealth of the Rocky
mountains must have a most exciting ef-
feet on tie people of the East.

Opening of the Mining Season.

Since the discovery Of the Nrz Perces mines
one serious drawback to the development Of the
mineral resources of our mountain ranges has
marked the history Of our mining excitements.
Each new discovery has been announced as the
richest, and the cider mining camps have been
passed over as worked out, and of no further
value. At least, this is to be inferred from the
oblivion into which the rich districts of Orc Fino
Elk City, Florence and other places have fallen.
Now it is truth that, except the surprisingly
rich diggings of Florence, there are as good mines
at Orc FinO, and Elk City to-day as at Boise, and
the means of working them are much more
abundant and incomparably cheaper. Near Orc
Fino, is the Bald mountain district which is known
to be exceedingly rich. and out partially occupied
by miners. Elk City has scarcely been touched,
and Florence district has as rich claims left in it
as have been worked out. ..
Ali that these places need is population suffici-
ent to develope them. A few men cannot create
the facilities necessary to the highest degree Of
success in mining, or any Of the auxiliary branches
of business necessary to give an impetus to min
ing. Successful mining demands water bitches,
cheap lumber, bedrock fumes, long ranges of
sluices. deep tail-raees, wagon roads, cheap sup
plies, and the comforts of civilized life in order to-
induce rnen to work at moderate wages. With
these, comparatively poor diggings can be made
TO yield profit to mining prOprietcrs; without
thegi, even the richest mines afford a cherries
prospect TO the adventurer
The principal reason why no mining commun-
