FRIDAY, September 81, 1855.
we notice renewed activity in all branches of
trade, caused to an extent by the arrival of large
numbers of persons from the different mining dis
tricts, who come in here to obtain their fall and
winter supplies. The work Of harvesting and thresh-
ing the seasons crop is also mainly over, and this
serves to let loose large numbers who materially con-
tribute toward enlivening the local trade.
1t will be seen from quotations that every de-
sonption of domestic produce rules low. There is
very general belief that this depression is only tenn
porary, and that very we shall have an advance
in the price Of breadstufs. Advices from San Fran
cisco note continued improvement in the Flour
market, consequent upon a continuous demand for
shipment to Eastern and foreign ports. Under this
influence the Portland market has already rallied and
corresponding advance may be expected in our own
market.
In connection with our usual report, we may state
that our merchants hold very full stocks of Clothing
Dry Goods, Boots and Shoes, Groceries, &c. which
they offer at Portland prices, with freight added.

THE IMMIGRATIoN.-Thus far this sea-
son comparatively few Of the Immigrants
have come into this Valley for the purpose
OF settlement. This, Notwithstanding there
still remains large amount of most desira,
able land open to presumption. As rule,
the immigrants start for Oregon, and with
them Oregon means the Willamette Valley.
With their heads thus set, it is useless to
talk with them of the superior advantages
offered to settlers east of the mountains.
Advice is thrown away upon them, and they
hurry on down to the land of web-foot.
There they vegetate for year or two, expe,
rlencing the Inconvenience incident to a
wretehed climate, and living in a country far
removed from market for its surplus pro>
ducts. A Ibrief period of this kind of life
eHectually cures them and then they are only
too glad to find homes east of the mountains.
The immigration of this season is no excep-
tion to the rule, and of the hundreds who
are now rushing to web-loot it is safe to say
that large majority of them will be back
here inside of a year.

SILVER LoDEs ON THE Pen D'0REILLE.-Eary
last spring, whilst ascending the Pen d'Oreille,
Mr.. VIM. Quigley discovered FIVE lodes of what
appeared to be silver bearing quartz. Samples
of the rock were taken to Missoula Mills, and
pronounced BY competent judges to be of extra
quality. Nothing further was done in relation
to the discovery until few weeks since, when
Mr.. Quigley, accompanied by Mr. W. NJ. Whit
ney and I. P. Davidson, paid another visit to
the Pen 'Oreille, and discovered two more lodes,
one of which proves to be very rich. Some of
the samples tested show value of $4,000 to the
the ton. DR.. Cha apman, of Portland, has tested
some of the rock and finds it at a value of over
Ave hundred dollars to the ton. These tests
cannot be said to afford a fair valuation, as the
lodes are not opened sufficient to get an average
sample of rock. Mr.. Hartley, of Lewiston, has
assayed samples of the rock which came from
the same locality, and his assay shows $1,000 to
the ton. These lodes are situated in the vicinity
of what is called the Big Slide, and distant about
eighty miles from the steamer landing at Cabi-
net Rapids One lode called the Pen 0reille,
is rich in gold; sample of the rock pounded
up and washed out showing highly favorable re-
turns. This same lode is rich in silver, and as
far as prospected has width of over ten feet.
al of the lodes discovered have good width,
come of them measuring 20 feet. The steamer
now building at Thompson's Falls will run near
these ledges. In the vicinity of these l'dges is
two good water privileges and an abundant sup
ply of wood. Mr.. Davidson remains On the
ground Mr.. Quigey will return in a few days,
accompanied by other parties interested, when
they will make preparations to commence work.
They intend to spend the winter at the lodes
and will open the Lodges to a sufficient depth to
thoroughly test their value. They alsc intend
TO put ore or two arastras at work on the Pen
d'Oreille ledge Immediately The-st. Fdix and
Vermillion lcdes are also in the same locality
and are being extensively worked. The names
of the lodes discovered by Mr.. Quigley and re.
corded are the "P Pen d'Orelle," " NIiisoula,"
"0phir," "Capt. Higgins" "Silver Berd," and
"Pioneer." Situated Immediately on tie line Of
steamboat navigation, these mines have facili-
ties for working that must render them immense
ly valuable.

Farmers, Meeting.

ED. STATESMAN The farmers of Coppei and
Touchet met on Saturday, the sth inst, at the
Delta Schoolhouse, for the purpose oftaking into
consideration the best means to obtain fair
price for their wheat, &c.
Mr.. David Wilson was called to the chair, and
Mr.. ]. J. Bruce was chosen Secretary. The
Chairman briefly stated the object of the meeting,
after which two committees were appointed !;
one to estimate the cost to the farmer of raising
bushel of wheat, and the other to estimate the
cost to the miller of manufacturing bushel of
wheat into -four. Said Committee to report at
an adjourned meeting, TO be held on Saturday,
the 18th inst.
A resolution was offered and unanimously
adopted, holding our wheat at price, not to be
less than 75cts per bushel until the adjourned
meeting, after which Mr.. Anderson Cox made
some very appropriate remarks, showing the
propriety of such course upon the part Of the
farmers, as against combination of mill own
ers, after which the meeting adjourned till Sat-
urday, the 18th inst, at O'Clock.
Saturday, the 18th of Sept, meeting met pera
suant to adjournment; Mr.. Wilson in the Chair
Committee on the cost of manufacturing bushel
of wheat into four submitted the following
report
REPORT OF COMMITTEE.
Your Committee, to whom was referred the
cost of manufacturing a bushel of wheat into
flour, beg leave to submit the following as their
report:
co lbs. of wheat will yield 43 lbs of superfne
-four, which, at three cents per lb., will be 81 20 ;
bran and shorts II lbs, II cts, making 81 46 /;
from which deduct 60 cents, price allowed for
wheat, leaves sc cents. Mill can grind per day.
at I2 bushels per hour, 10 hour system, l2O
bushels per day, which multiplied by SO, gives
SlQ3 20, from which deduct price paid miller,
four dollars per day; two hired men assistants
at two dollars each per day, and other expenses
for sacks and keeping up repairs, $50 90, which
makes S3s 90, deducted from Sl03 20 leaves
500 20 as miller's profits, or fraction less than
80 cents profit on the bushel for grinding.
One hundred and twenty multiplied by 3Ot
gives the cost per bushel of manufacturing wheat
into -four thus it will be seen the expense to
the miller of manufacturing bushel of wheat
into -four is thirty and one sixth of a cent all
of which is respectfully submitted.
