in another field of operations. To show that
the military services of the volunteers were
required at tbe time in quoition at the place
where they were then stationed, we recall to
the memory of our cotemporary the fact, that
three days previous to this election, within
forty miles of Camp Watson, a squad of
eighteen, of these very soldiers attacked
and defeated about fifty Indians ; killing
over a dozen of them and losing one
of the most gallant and efficient sol
diers that ever was furnished to the army
from tbe State of Oregon. From this it
would seem as if tbe position at Camp Wat
son was somewhat " resky," as our cotem
porary has it, and that these soldiers were
at the time stationed at a place required by
tho exigencies of tbe times actively en
gnged in military enterprises ef " great pith
and moment," and as far as we know
wore doing their duty. For the further
information of the Democrat, we will state
that soldiers are stationed in considera
ble numbers in the Owyhee country, and if
they do not thrash the Indians it is their
fault, probably, and not those at Camp Wat
son, who bave done a fair proportion of all
the Indian fighting of eastern Oregon dnring
tbe last four years.
with other members of tbe press upon the
subject of impeaching the action of the
courts, and in regard to the; Oregon practice of
trying a man in the newspapers., both before
and after his trial before a court and by a
jury, and with great reason. We take it,
that in going behind tbe record in thu case,
Lake Okinakane appears to be pretty well in
tbe center of tbese mineral deposits, which
lie on both sides of the rim which divides
tbe waters of tbe Columbia and the southern
affluents of Frazer River
The rocks are of the metnmorphic forma
tion, and carry the usual traces of minerals
due to tbe vicinage of extensive lodes of the
metals which we hav.e mentioned.
This district may be slow in development,
but its future is certain to be prosperous.
It is one more of the promising fields of labor
which are dependent on the Columbia for
supplies, and which will have tbis city for
its starling point. It has, in its surround
ings, paBtoral advantages equal to any in tbe
Columbia Basin, and fine agricultural bodies
of land at convenient intervals.
Tbe copper or tnat country will un
doubtedly prove its most valuable feature, in
a mining point of view. Tbis will have to
be concentrated and brought down the Okin
akane and the Columbia in barges. The
