New Gold Mines Discovered.

From Mr.. Linsey. an old settler
just over from the Yakima Valley. VIC
learn that rich placer gold diggings
have been discovered, situated about
seventy-fiye miles northeast from
Yakima City. on Swak creek, which
empties into the Yakima river twelve
miles from Mortimer Thorp's ranch.
These mines were discovered by the
Goodwin Brothers some months ago,
but kept a secret BY them until lately.
1t has caused much excitement among
the settlers aud a perfect stampede
from all parts OF the valley has taken
place.
1t is reported that one man. in a
short time, ''creviced" out Of the bed
rock, with knife and spoon. dust to
the value of $3.50 in coarse gold-one
piece weighing over an ounce. This
dust, and several other amounts, have
been exhibited to the settlers Of the
Yakima and the result has been mag
ical. 'rnis news although calculated
to make considerable excitement, has
failed to do so with the people OF the
Dalles. One reason is that it Is now
too late IN the season to prepare for
winter or early spring mining. and
our people have wisely concluded that
il the diggings are going to prove good
1t will be time enough in the spring to
60 here.-M0untaiaesr.

ANOTHER FATAL AFFRAY.-From
the Baletin Of October 18th, we learn
that 4 fearful tragedy was enacted IN
Tillamook last Friday, in which Haux-
hurst, who was at one time an inmate
Of the Penitentiary, and man by the
name of Dorst were actors. 1t ap-
pears that the cause Of the fight was
jealousy of Hauxllurst on the part Of
Dorst, who ordered him never again
to enter his house. Unmindful of the
warning, II. paid a visit there last
Friday, when he was met by Dorst,
who began to pound him. In the
course Of the fight Hauxhust drew q
knife and stabbed his opponent several
times causing death. Hauxhurst was
arrested, but after preliminary cx-
animation was discharged, it being
ascertained that he acted in self-de-
fence.

The pardon Is conditional, Iu that should Hargrave be found in tue Territory after certain numoer of days, he Is to be arrested. The pardon was received by Judge Howard, Mon. day last, but owing to certain tbreats which margraVe is accused of having made, Sheriff Thomas and other officers thought It best 10 keep tbe fellow In durance vile untl the vehicle which on yesterday afternoon, took him on board. for tfip out oi the Territory.

Agricultural Items

A ride through the valleys near Prescott. Sun day last, satisfies us that, should .aiu come in proper season, something like 100000 pounds oi corn will this year be raised right close to town
 Tue young corn in whIpple, Willow aud Miller valleys looked exceedingly well, considering the season 50, too that seen by on the ranches or Messrs. L. A. Stevens and Campbell & Buffum. We called m Mir. Vicker's place, on Granite creek did not go Into tue fields, but were assured thai tne corn was quite promising. Every farm seen Oy us had It's acres of potatoes and other yeysta. hle:. Willow valley looked exceedingly well.
 Mr. T. W. Boggs and Mir. John W. Townsend. their small grain.
 So, also, are the farmers of Walnut Grove Verde aud Beaver creek.
 Crops In Chino valley and ln the vicinity Of Camp Haulpai are quite promising The same Is true of the crops In Round. Mint Skull, Kirk land and other valleys down that way.
 One crop or grain has already been cut from ranches in tue vicinity of Wickenburg
 Adam Scott and other tilers Of the soil have recently taken ranches and gone to farming in Ferguson valley.
 But little grain has SO far been sowed in VII. Hanson valley SO that land owners there wlllllaye to look to their hay for the neccssaries Of life
 should the rainy season set iu early, it might pay to try tame grasses on many "dry" ranches that are now faiow. Should the present prove 70 be another dry year, farmers msy find it ad Vantageous and profitable to break the wet land now used for the sole purpose Of producing n not very good quality Of wild grass. In Williamson and other valleys, alfalfa could we feel certain. be cultivated very successfully.
 Onr farmers pine for another such season as ioos, when about 100000 pounds of corn were produced In this portion Of the county.
 Judge II. Brooks, c. W. Berry, the Lindsey Bros, Peter Broisard and other gardeners Of this vicinity, will very soon have new Irish potatoes for sale.
