Letter from Pen d'oreiIIe-The New Mines
PES D'OREILLE, September 20, 1861.


EDITOR STATESMAN A letter has been Ieceiv-
ed this P. NJ, from reliable gentleman, (Mr. S.
L. PoPe,) at the diggings, dated 7th inst. He
writes : "There are rs men in this district, or
camp, there are two districts and lots of them
coming in the extent of country is large cans
not tell much about the mines, as we have no
tools. John Hoge, my partner, from waitsburg,
will 60 out for tools, &c. Can find the color
anywhere; got Sc cents to one pan have taken
up claims for Charley H, and Jaquith cannot
hold them long. Would not advise any person
to come. Lee is building a ferry. Hynes has
taken up horse ranch. No Indian sign in the
country" Phelps went in with Pat. Miller's
party left this place on the 9th of August /;
they were the first men in. He says: awe
found 10. Herring when we arrived here, alone,
and wounded through the shoulder had lived
% days on berries. Allen, Moore, and Cave>
naugh were killed. Men out looking for them" 4"
Men are constantly going in, and there is not
the least doubt about good mines There is
not the least indication of bad feeling on the part
Of any Indians but the Upper Kootenais. Men
travel alone in entire safety, anywhere through
this vicinity. l understand you published in
the STATESMAN, that the Mary Moody was laid
up. Men all gone to the mines. would say
the Moody is and will continue to keep running
II was the river boats above Cabinet, told you
were laid up. Please make this correction.

TIE MALLA MALLA AaaIcuLruRAL FAIR.-Our

The WALLA WALLA AGRICULTURAL FAIR.-Our
readers will bear in mind that the Walla Walla
Valley Agricultural Fair commences on Wednes-
day next, and continues four days. If the farm
ers of this Valley would keep pace with the rest
of the world they must take hold OF the Falr
and make it success, Last year they surprised
every one with the excellence and variety OF
their productions. This year they should aim
to do better. We have here one of the hnest
agricultural districts on the Pacific coast, ana
it should be our pride to make these annual
exhibitions of the products of our industry iulIy
equal to the exhibitions given in older and
longer settled districts. Last year the interest
in the Fair seemed to be confined to the farmers
in the central part of the Valley. This season
we hope to see all sections represented. our
friends living out on the Touchet should come
in with their fine stock their wheat, their apples,
squashes, potatoes, and every other article in
the production of which they excel. Let them
also bring with them their wives and children,
their young men and maiders, and thus help to
swell the attractions of the Fair grounds. Our
neighbors living across the line in Umatilla
county, are likewise invited to unite with US and
help swell the proportions of the Fair. If any
one thing more than another marks the progress
of the age in which live, it is the exhibitions
of the products of industry; and as an evidence
of their beneficial effects, we have only to cite
the fact that the comm unities that give the most
attention to annual fairs and exhibitions are in
yariably the most prosperous. The enterprising
farmers and skillfu craftsmen are always repre-
sented at these exhibitions of the products of
industry. 1t is only the laggard, who tickles
the ground with forked stick and rejects inns
proved plows and labor-saying machinery, that
is Indifferent to fairs and derdes their Influence.
Fortunately we have but few representatives of
this latter class, and peopled as our Valley is
with industrious and enterprising men, it cannot
be otherwise than that the Fair will be brill
liant success.

A TERRIBLE ACcIDENT.-Yeste-day, two
notorious women of the town, Louise Wort
and Kate Koonarth chartered a two horse
rig from Montee's stables, and proceeded on
break>neck ride out on the Hot Spfings
road. Coming with dash to the bridge
crossing the "Yaw Yaw" ditch, about a mile
and half from the city,-the horse at full
speed,-the women discovered too late that
portion of the bridge was broken, and the
road passed through the ditch to the left
The horses were pulled suddenly in the direc-
tion of the track, and in the short turn both
the occupants were pitched Leadlong out of
the carriage upon pile of rocks. Lonisc
Wort had her skull smashed in, and Kate
Koonarh sustained severe internal injuries
Both were brought to town insensible. Louise
soon after reaching the city, expired. Kate
has since regained her senses, and is likely
to recover.-Helena Herald.

RICH QUARTz.-We have been shown
several specimens of ore taken from the
Archer ledge, in the Banner District, which
have passed through the roasting process
IN order to better display their richness in
silver We have also other specimens of
the ore from the same ledge in the pure
state. Each of them are certainly valuable
enough to warrant the owners of the ledge
in the belief that they have fortune before
them.-Idako World.

v The MISsoULA MAIL.-On and after October
LIST, the Missoula mail will be restored to the
old route, with head quarters at Walla Walla
This is in accordance with instructions received
direct from the Department at Washington. Un-
der this arrangement, our friends living on the
Touchet, as well as at other points on the route,
viii have mail facilities which latterly have
been denied them. This action of the Depart
ment is significant rebuke of the conduct of
the contractor in carrying the mails in a round
about way and without any regard for the con,
venience Of the people for whose benefit the
service was instituted.

MYsrEEIoUs AFFAIR. -EIrIy last spring, a
young man named Albert Humphrey, started
from this Valley with band of cattle, bound
for the kooJcuai mines. The cattle had beeu
sold previous to starting and part of the money
paid; the balance to be paid the delivery Of
the cattle in the mines. Among others, man
named p 7. Hefron, was taken along to assist
as drover and herder. la due course Mr.. Huns
parey should have made the trip to Kootenai
and been back mere two or three months since.
Nothing had been heard from him until about
ten days since when Hebron arrived and report
ed that "IIumphrey had gone down the Missouri
River and never would be seen in this country
again" Helron at the same time was flush Of
money, and represented that Humphrey had
given him a bill of sale of a ranch and other
property he owned in Walla Walla Valley. His
statement is that they drove the cattle to Koote-
mai, where Humphrey received his money, and
then started on his return home, accompanied
by Icllrou aud one OF two others. They came
down as far as Copner's Ranch, when Humphrey
determined to 90 the States and started for Fort
DeutOHi sum accompanied oy HeAIou' ATENeu
at the Missouri River, Humphrey took passage
by the first steamer, after which HeiIron started
on his return to Walla Wala, arriving here as
already stated. This is HeiTron' version of his
connection with the missing man. The fact that
Humphrey was man OF steady habits, as also
that he was possessed of considerable property
in this country, seems to preclude the correct
ness Of this report, and hence his friends are ap-
prehensiye that he has been murdered His
father, Mr.. George Humphrey, living at Eugene
City, Oregon, is now at Walla Walla, and is
anxious to obtain information in regard to his
missing son. In the meantime, Heirron is under
arrest, nominally on the charge OF embezze-
ment, but in reality on suspicion Of murder.

WHAT PEOPLE Say OF Us.-A correspondent of
the Portland Herald, who signs himself H5O-two,Y
has the following notes of visit to Walla Walla;
"From Walla Walla river we travelled directly
to Walla Walla City, in Walla Walla County.
W. T., and en- route passed Fort Walla WalIa'
now no longer rendezvous for United States
troops; fact that accounts for the Indian
scare so carefully nursed into life by the WaIla
Walla STATESMAN, VIM. H. has an eve 10 busi.
ness, and if a few troops could be quartered here
business might be improved in the city. PEOPLE
on the Umatilla nurse their wrath to keen il
warm because big scare might induce Gov,
erhment to remove the Indians from that Doint
TO some other reservation. I don't care where
Uncle Andy and Uncle Sam put their Indians or
troops, but deem it necessary to explain these
facts to enlightsn outside barbariansI and The
rest Of mankind, and also to give the people rest
upon this subject. Upon reaching the citv was
agreeably surprised to observe the improvements
that have been made in FIVE years, as well as the
evidences OF prosperity everywhere visible : no
inland town in Oregon or Washington has kent
pace with the growth Of the country better Than
walla Walla. Business is said TO be verv duII

FATAL SHooRING AFFRAY.-We learn
that fatal shooting affray occurred at
Blackfoot City on the evening of Wednes>
day the 4th inst. The shooting occurred at
a house of i'll fame, between Bob Green
of the firm of Smith & Green, and John
johnson, keeper of the Fashion saloon, when
the former shot the latter dead. We learn
no further particulars, with the exception
that it is supposed the woman was at the
