THE RUsH TO THE MINEs.-A Portland
(Oregon) correspondent of the San Francisco
Spectator says: The annual migration to the
gold fields on our Eastern border has com
menced, and wave after wave is rolling on with
the tide. Absolutely there appears on the
streets OF Portland, after the arrival of a
steamer, almost living mass of human beings,
all intent upon big strikes in Idaho. They
seem to think that the instant they land on the
wharf, they must buy horse and make
break TO the mountains but, after they have
purchased the cayuse then they learn that it
costs lust as much more for their horse as it
does for themselves to get to Umatila, where
absolutely the land travel begins. The rush is
large, and whether the country is rich enough
to warrant it is doubt That gold exists is
not denied but there is q great lack of water
during most OF the year, when not frozen up, to
work even successfully. and labor will be cheap
in many of the camps. The quartz mines are
not sufficiently developed to give employment
TO thousands.
