NEWS By MAIL.

VICTORIA, August 23.-The steamer
ott,r arrived from Fort WraDgle on Fri
day with 100 passengers. The Otter
brought down a mail, Sylvester's express
and about $50, 900 in gold dust from
the Cassair mines. The California ar
rived at Fort Wrangle at 2 a. m. on the
10th. landed her mail and proceeded on
TO Sitka. Only four beeves and ninety
five sheep now remain to supply 800 OF
600 miners with fresh meat at sixty-five
cents per pound; aud by the end of this
month there will be no fresh meat unless
the overland trains arrive. These are
owned by Nelson & Bent.
From Johnston, the mail carrier, we
learn that on Deese Creek the Mcintyre
claim was paying about the best, at so
or 40 ounces day of "a hours to eight
sluices. The Brady claim was said 10
have yielded 800 ounces in one week.
The ground is very spotted, in places
paying from seven to eight ounces day
to the hand with rockers, after the ex-
pense of erecting sluices.
A letter dated Wrangle, August lG,
says: The Indians brought news to-day
that extensive portions OF the wreck OF
the George s. Wright have been brought
to Fort Simpson and Motalah ketlab by
Indians from an island in Queen Char
lotte Sound; also that there are partly
constructed cabins on the island, which
are supposed to have been put up by the
survivors who managed TO get ashore
from the wreck, thus giving evidence
that some of the Wright's people did
reach the shore, but evidently persisted
from exposure. We can learn nothing
confirming this report from passengers
by the Otter, and doubt its correctness.
