Ltsvlne; Portland Monde morning nt tlx o'clock, on Fridnjr rrenlny I wm landed it IwUto, sltuatcdm Snake Hirer at the BMth' of Clearwater. The jilaro then MMbted of (oroa dozen or two tenia and dotb koutt, nd cooaiderable business was jooa (ben In the way of furnlahlng mining nartiea wllb their flt-otita. Tlihj point la tUoatcd on tht Indian Rpscrve, ami tlic Agent had forbidden the erection of sub- atanlinl building, until aotne amusement ahoald be made with tho Indiana. The red men occupj aerernl lodjca Jnit aborc tbe town, and between tlicm and tlicir pule- face Lrotlicra there exists, aa jet, good nndcnlandlng. Indeed, In aome case very cloae bonda of union hare been funned, and young Anjrlo-Saxon Americana have found lliclr affinitive among the dusky daughter of tho forcat. One of tliese, an officer of the boat,' met hie dark-skinned ajioiue on tho batik, and in ahort time wtndrd hi wajr with her, to the domicile of li'u futlur-in liiw. I might cile many similar cases, but It la unnecessary, and I only refer to It to ahow how soon the re atralnta that aoclvty Imjroses are lost, wliero noddy doci not exist. leaving Lcwlston aliout noon on Snturdur, I look mulo pas sage for the land of promise, aome seventy fire mile distant. The possi-ngrrs were permitted to plcaso tluir fancy In the se lection of riding animal from a large drove, and my choice fill on a ardatv-Iook- ing, well-conditioned nnlinul named (ns I bfterward learned) Iiuna. O, that mult! Of all (lie luzy brutea it Imi been my lot to encounter, thnt ono was mi rely the Inzi est. I wearied my urui in o rain effort to produce au hnreMi!oii with a slitk, and, failing in tills, prraundvd n benevolent Span iard in the pack-train to lend me n spur. With thi, and by the use of n stick na an auxiliary, I managed to keep In hailing distance of the parly. Tho country, ufter leaving CIcnrwntcr n aliort distance, opens out in a Guo prospect, the road winding over n sericx of hlh mil ing ridgea covered with a magnificent growth of grass, sucli aa would have madu riiarnoh'a lean kino Ungh, If th.'y could only huvo seen it. It in a fplcndid grazing country, but rather deficient in wood and water. Moutlay afternoon, nUml two days aud a half from Lewiston, we reached Oro Fiuo city, situated Just across (he Orn Fiuo Creek from wlicro the wagon road iind trail strike into the valhy. It is n small place, yet, but growing rapidly, and consists almost entirely of trading estab lishments of various kinds. Two miles be low Oro Fiuo is Pierce City, where Win. Morfit and myself arc encamped and en gaged in opening a claim. Wo think it wilt pay about eight dollars a day to the hand. I hnvo not traveled or prospected much since, I came In, but, from wlmt I hare seen and heard, I judgo thut the mi ners generally arc making from fire to ten dollars a day; a few doing much butter, and somo not so well. The claim we arc opening prospects from a half cent to four cents and a half to the pan. I prospected a pan of dirt on Mr. Ilatch's claim on Rhodes Creek, and got fifty cents to the pan, but this came from near the bed rock. I think Rhodes Creek is richer than any other part of the mines yet discovered. The mining region that is known certainly to pay, Is as yet rather limited, comprising, so fur us I can loarn, twenty or thirty miles on tho Oro Fino, with its tributaries. Several reports of rich discoveries have cone in from different directions, but in most cases they do not appear to be well established. Prospecting parties ero out In every direction, and it is probable that other discoveries will bo made. It is usu ally very expensive in labor and money in opening claims to work, and consequent ly the miners in their regulutions have es tablished rather large claims; in some cases years will be required to work them out. Tho seasons too are very short, ns the win ters arc severe, and in summers tho water is high, so that mining is carried on at a great disadvantage. Mr. Atliey, of Or egon City, is engaged in cutting a wagon road oat from Tierce City, which will be greatly to the advantage- of not only this place, bat of the whole mining region. The wagon road to Oro Flno is almost im passable for loaded teams, on account of a deep ' canyon' whero it crosses the South Fork of Clearwater. : There is undoubtedly a vast amount of gold here waiting to be taken out, but elaims bow can only bo bad by purchase, and most of those who come find it more convenient to earn than to spend money. Very often, however, claims are sold on " bed-rock'' security, aa it is called; that is, to be paid when tho gold is taken from the claim. The usually busy strecta of our embryo mountain cities are literally thronged on Sundays, and tho rarions trading establish nietita do a thririug trade on that day, as the ragged, hearty-looking miners pour in from the creeks and 'canyons' around, to 17 in supplies and to obtain meager items f intelligence from distant friend, or from the great world lying beyond. How often have I seen bearded, tan-browned face brighten into sunshine when the welcome nd long-expected letter was received A ad I have really pitied weary-looking l f. of mil and privation, trudged miles over rough mountain paths to the Express office, ouly to find disappointment. I hare been hero yet lew thun a week, and already I would rather havo a letter from aome of I how I left behind me, than twice Its eight In the precious metal whlrh I came to aeek. It I estimated that there ire already from 0ve to seven thousand men through nut this region, aud constant accessions are bring niado to the number. Trices at 10 to tne number. Trices at this time are rather With, but when tlJ wagon rono Is completed, it is exjiectcd mm provisions win rati. J-Jour ia I8 a hundred; bacon 40 cents, fresh beef 10 to IS cents, and other things about iu that ratio. A few iiIMh since, heavy thun ker shower, preceded by sultry afternoon. nnd heralded by a fitful hrecxo which ruf fled the piny mountain (ops, pnmed over our valley. The vivid flaxhci of lightning, followed almost hnmediatelv hy rolllnir iienla of thunder, gave us warning that the bolts were pnsamg near. In regard to advising people to come here, or lo stay away, It ia a nice question. If I wore in the Willamette valley now, nnd knew just what I know of the mines, I Hunk I should come. Rut some who are coming In now, soon turn their faces home ward. Wages are (I a day with hoard, and $5 without. Dut there are more men asking for work than find it. The expense from Portland lo the mines, bringing only what a man can Mioulder and curry, cost ing no freight, is from $50 to $75 coming lo the head of steamboat navigation, and hiring a horse or mule to ride into tho dig gings. Improvements arc going on quite rniiidty in the two towns, constderinv that I ' c i mi iiiu iiiiuuiT ji inniiuiariiireu uerc is tlic resn't of timiiual labor, by tlm ne of whih saws. Lumber costs now from $15 to (20 a hundred. Two saw-mills aro in process of creel ion, ami when thev oro coin; leted liimher will no doubt bo cheaper. Tho ! timber Ik moslly a beautiful white pine, much liku that of the Knstern States. Ce dar ia luund occasionally along the streams, aud is riven into clapboards (or roofing houses..

Your gold hunting friend, J. D. Locr.v. Tub Dist. The best proof in tho world of the richness of the new mines is now coming in, and being sent down to Califor nia, in the shape of gold dust. Wo saw the bags of dust In charge of Wells, Fargo Si Co. lifted on the deck of the Pacific af ter sho was beached Inst wcik. A gentle man who hcliied handle it thinks there was not less than four hundred pounds of It. Only think of four hundred Hnuds of gold dust right from our new mines all going off to California. How much plcntier has that gold made money in Oregon? How much has it raised the price of produce? Doesn't it provo what we said two weeks ago, that if Oregon is benefited much by the mines this summer, Oregonians mast go and dig their own gold? Those great wallets of dust that our neighbors bring back next full will bo circulated at home, and not bo sent to California to buy bread stuffs as formerly. Commissioned. The commissions of W. A. Starkweather, Esq., ns Register, and of W. T. Matlock, Esq., as Receiver, of the Laud office at Oregon City, came by last mail. B. J.
