ENGINEER,
UNITED STATES ENGINEER orF1cE, I

UNITED STATES ENGINEER OFFICE,
PORTLAND, Dec. 3, 1879.
General: l have the honor to transmit
herewith chart of Alsea harbor, Oregon,
accompanied with report of Assistant En-
gineer r. A. Habersham, and to submit the
following report of a survey made under my
direction in compliance with the river and
harbor act approved March 8, 1879.
Maj. J.. u. Wilson, corps of engineers,
states in his report ON an examination of this
harbor, dated September %, 1878 that
The act of June Is, 1878, directed an ex
animation to be made of the tsAlsea river
and bay, Oregon" and an estimate of the
cost of improvement "proper to be made. ;"
The result of the examination and of con-
versations with residents at the bay demon
strated the fact that no Improvement of this
river was expected and none is deemed prop
er to be made. What the people of Alsea
valley want, and wat I respectfully recon-
mend, is that an accurate survey may be
made of the harbor, and the bar in front of
it, proper chartss ssprepared for distribution
to mariners, and the bar properly buoyed.
No work of improvement is deemed
!" proper to be made,'' but / would respect
fully recommend that the chart of the har-
Dor be printed for the use of mariners.
There is no port of entry at the Alsea
river. The nearest port of entry is New
port, Yaquina bay, Oregon, II miles north
of Alsea harbor
No revenue was collected at Newport for
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1879. A
small coasting tug occasionally enters Alsea
harbor and does all the carrying trade for
the harbor. No sailing vessels ever visit
the harbor.
The nearest light house is on Cape Foul
weather, about Is miles distant the light
formerly located at the entrance of Yaquina
harbor has leen discontinued. The nearest
works of defense are at the mouth of tie
Columbia river. distant 125 miles approxi-
mately.

NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL.

CORVALLIS GAZETTE: The princi,
pal topic of talk here now is, will
the winter ever break Asre, and warm
sunshine be felt here? Truly that
venerable parsonage, "the oldest in
habitant," has never seen just such a
winterhere asthe one on hand. But the
growing wheat is o X, and larger
crops Of it are now growing in this
county than was ever seen here be-
fore. The people are repairing their
broken down fences, and rebuilding
sheds and stables thas were blown
down on the 9th of last month. The
saw mill men have plenty of bills for
lumber, and prospects are fasr for a
goodly amount of building this year
in the city and county.
Politicians are beginning TO stir
about, and talk up the Issues OF the
day; aud shake hands with the dear
brothers, and inquire of them how
Sally and Jane and Tommy and
James are, and how their friends are
going 30 vote. The Republicans are
buoyant, but the Democrats are 9i-
vided aud dubious of success, un-
less the two warning factions of them,
and the fiat fellows can fuse together
and s'coaent out," as their brethren
did in Maine, and so have a fusion
majority in the Legislature of Oregon,
and Supreme Bench of Judges that
will be more kindly to the counted
ans than the Supreme Court of Maine
was.
We have some railroad talk here,
and We would be pleased to know
that your road to Newport would be
built, and also one from Astoria via
Forest Grove, Lafayette, Salem,
Mount Jefferson Pass, Prineyille, and
through the splendid wheat, mineral
and stack district in the south part
of Wasco, Grant and Baker counties
to Fort Boise, there connecting with
the Union Pacific branch from Ogden
Assuredly capital ought to be had
from the States to build both of these
roads, which are SO much needed,
and would insure to the stockholders
a large profit on their investment.

MORE HOUSES NEEDED.

Not day, scarcely, and certainly
not week, has passed for the last SIX
months saiat men have not applied
to the. different firms in the city,
handling real estate, for houses to
live in. In vain have they wander
cd up and down our streets, lin search
of place in which they could house
their families. Many have come
with capital, and desired to open
business Of various kiHdssin our city,
bat after staying for weeks in some
instances, have been compelled to
abandon the town, for the sole and
only reason that they could not pro-
cure a place to do business in, or
home for their families. In some in
stances, attempts have been made to
purchase property wEereon to cree,
suitable business houses, but the
owners of the land either would not
sell at all, or asked such fabulous
prices that it ras-useless to think of
becoming possessed of realty here.
We do not desire to find fault, but
we do insist, with all candor, that
this course is all wrong. We have
capitalists here, that if they would
use some of their means, in erecting
good business houses of substan-
tial character, and neat, tidy cot
tages they would not only directly
aid very materially in our develop
ment and growth, but would
also receive reasonable compensa-
tion for the capital thus invested.
We cannot alwaysIemain in this
small cramped up spRce; our borders
must be enlarged, our waste places
built mp, capital and population
encouraged to come and stay with us.
Corvallis has bright and prosper
Gus future Before it, if our people will
only pnt their shoulders to the wheel
and help. We have the natural re-
sources and commercial advantages
to make large city, and shall we
listlessly let all the glorious oppor
tunities slip through our fingers, for
want of energy to grasp the golden
prize? Do not try to put any one
ont, or try 70 make a close corpora
sion of what we have, but open your
purses and build, and greet all who
come to cast their lot with us warmly,
encourage and stimulate what enter.
prises are already inaugurated here,
and more will follow. If we but lib
orally sow, now, in the not distant
future, such wave Of prosperity will
sweep over our city as will astonish
the most saaguine. Awaken, shake
off the lethargy that has bound you
SO long, plan, devise and push for.
ward means for the growth and
development OF our beautiful city.

BEACH MINES.

We recently received from Lower
AlSea a request to publish the law
governing beach mines. After care
full examination, We find there is no
U. S. law bearing upon the sub
jeet, as the following correspondence
will show:
GENERAL LAND OFFICE, WASHING
TON, D. e., Sept. Is, 1879.
James C. Tolman, U. s. Surveyor General,
Portland, Oregon.
SIR In reply to your letter of 3Oth June
last, you are informed that no mines lying
below high water mark on the ocean beach
can be disposed of under United States laws.
Very respectfully,
J. M. ARMSTRONG,
Acting Commissioner.
The State mining law, page 6s6 OF
of the code of 1872, makes no refer
ence to beach mines, but does refer
to surface or placer mines, and as it
would undoubtedly be construed to
to cover the former, we give below a
synopsis Of its provisions:
In order to secure claims notices
must be posted, with name or names,
and the claim protected by the owner
for 80 days, when it may be recorded
by the county clerk in the book Of
mining records. IF claims are not
worked for ID consecutive months,
they become forfeited, and other per-
sons may locate on the same. Each
person may hold one claim, and as
many more as he may purchase, as
the local laws of the miners district
may allow.
1t is the duty of the county clerk
of any county, upon notice received
of miners meeting, organizing a
miners district in said county, to re-
cord the same, giving the boundaries
thereof. Upon petition of miners he
may appoint a deputy to reside in
said district, who shall record all
mining claims and water rights, in
the order in which they are presented
fop record. Miners are empowered
to make local laws in relation to
possession of water rights, working of
claims, and survey and sale of town
lots in mining camps, subject to U.
S. laws. Ditcles and fumes, perma-
nently fixed to the soil, are real es-
tate, while they are used for that pur-
pose. Persons or corporations who
shall abandon any ditch, tfumc or
water right for one year, and cease
to exercise ownership over the same
for one year, lose their title, claim or
interest.
Mechaaies' and laborers' liens may
be filed against ditehcs and fumes,
for labor or material bestowed or
furnished. Placer or surface mines
may be conveyed by biz of sale, the
same as personal property, the same
to be recorded within 80 days of the
date of such sale. Mortgages shall
be executed, acknowledged. recorded
add foreclosed as upon chattels.

From the Oregonian of Jan. 31st.
THE YkQUINA BAY ROAD.

The people of Corvallis are imbued with
the belief that their city is the avenue
through which the grain raised in the south
ern portion of the Willamette valley must
pass to reach the seaboard. The foregoing
statement has possibly been seen in print
before, but that thought Is uppermost in the
mind of every citizen of the place, and will
bear repetition. The persons most interest,"
ed are engaged now in obtaining signatures
to the memorial published in the Oregonian
of the 2Sth ult. If only moderate appro-
priation is made for deepening the entrance
to Yaquina Bay, a railroad from Corvallis to
the bay is a certainty for the near future
Capital necessary to complete the road al
ready commenced by the citizens, will be
furnished either from California or from
England without delay.
DIsINTEREsTED VIEW.
1t is only natural that the old residents of
Corvallis and Benton county should feel a
deep interest in the future of their portion
of the State and be prejudiced in its favor
regardless of any just claims for recognition,
but the judgment of man coming into the
county, studying it, and seeking an invest
ment in business pursuits would be free
from all bias. And when the views of one
who would naturally be inclined to cynicism
agree with those of the enthusiastic and
self-interested, such views should be accept
ed, to say the least as confrmatory. I call.
ed ON Mr.. James Readman, an Englisman of
wide experience, who came to Corvallis last
July, and after visiting nearly every portion
has concluded to go into business here In
order to obtain his ideas of Benton county.

in Oregon, you chose this county as bust
