Within the past few days we have been talking with some old mining prospect* ors, and they tell us What we have always thought was the facts in relation to this portion of Oregon. They say this is the best field Tor profitable prospecting for quartz and other minerals that can be found on the Pacific Coast; that they can find plenty of good ledges and mines, but they have not the capital to open them, so it is no use for them to locate claims only as far* 1 * as they are able to do the work on them to hold them. One of them said to us, “ If some good old California Prospect ors would only come in here and take up some ledges he could show them, and let their backers in San Francisco know the facts in relation to this country, there would be plenty of capital here in a short time to develop mines as fast as they were discovered, and then we would have glo rious and prosperous times here.” We agree with our friend, and believe as he does, that if the capitalists of San Fran cisco or the East were convinced o f the fact that our mines are as rich as we think and know them to be, it would be but a short time until we would have plenty of •capital here to open and develop the hid den wealth of our mountains. There is, as our prospecting friends say,a ■vast extent of country in Baker and Grant Counties where a pick has never yet been struck, and a great portion that has been prospected has only been skimmed over, and no thorough search has ever been made for ledges that have net made their appearance distinct and plain on the sur face of the ground, and not more than one out of twenty, thus discovered, has been went down upon deep enough to enable a good judge to tell whether there was any thing there or not that would pay to work. As a general thing the men who discover these ledges have not the means to prospect them, and are letting them lay hoping something may turn up whereby they may be able to realize something for their discovery. We want capital here that will back the reliable prospector—we want prospectors in whom the capitalists have confidence^ -and, if they are not among us now, there is troom hero for them, and when they do come, and make their reports to capital ists who have faith in their discoveries, then our county will indeed, we think, show its vast richness. Our miners and prospectors should be careful and not overrate the extent and richness of our ledges or mines. Do not try to mislead strangers, the truth is good enough Ask them to look and test the ledges and mines for themselves, and when they find that our ledges and mines will compare favorably with any on the Pacific Coast they will believe it, for the old saying is “ that seeing is convincing,” and persons must believe in what they sec for them selves. THE P O R TEAN », RALEES AND SALT L A K E R A IL W A Y . COMMUNICATION FROM COU. W. W. CHAP MAN. O ffice F., D. & S. L. R. It. Co., P ortland , June 10, 1875. By late advices we are informed that •our contracts for the construction of the Portland, Dalles and Salt Lake Railroad have been received in London and consid ered, and the following modifications pro posed, to-wit: That we, instead of the contractors, locate and furnish estimates in detail for 200 miles of the road. Upon this being done the contracts will be sign ed for the construction of the whole line as fast as estimatos shall be made and ap proved. The 200 miles above referred to will reach from Portland to the town of Umatilla, and in connection with surveys and estimates made by Mr. Blair, our en gineer, will reach to La Grande, east of the Blue monntains, including the Walla Walla branch. It is the intention, if funds for that purpose are supplied,- to extend the preliminary line and eslimales from La Grande to Baker City this fall. This is desirable in order to facilitate obtaining the right of way and at an early day put ting the work under construction. It is proper here to state that after delibera tion, and upon advising with some promi nent citizens as to the probability of suffi cient stock being taken here to carry the modifications into effect. We have ac cepted the modifications and caused no tice thereof to be transmitted to the prop er parties. It only remains, therefore, for a compliance on our part, and all will be right, and the great enterprise of the Pa cific Northwest a success. C orresp ond ence. Letter from our agent in New York: New Y'ork, May 6,1875. C o l . W . W . C h a p m A n — Dear Sir: I am only just this day in receipt of news from the contract. It is not signed, nor is it re jected. They say they are in earnest about building the road, and have the means at their command, all of which is hopeful, But they say they will require some modifications; but do not give them in this letter. I shall expect another let ter from them very soon. The attorney for the contractors is sanguine that an agreement will be arrived at. I remain yours, etc. Letter from the same party: New York, May 20,1875. W, W. CifAPMAN, Esq.—Pear Sir: I am in receipt o f pews frqm London to the ef fect that the proposed syndicate of con tractors will pot sign a contract with us pntil we have fprnished them with esti mates of the cost of constructing at least oiib section, I send herewith copies pf the letter of the contractors, as represented by Mr, B, [ope of the syndicate] to Mr. J , their copnselor-at-lawf also of the latter’s last letter to p ie, which explaips the ex act position of the matter up to this date. Now, if you cap comply, all right, I ipay also state that Mr, H, has expressed h}s in tention of coming over here In June; and Mr. J., their counselor, wU! probably ae- 2d. The right o f constructing the rail way so far as such estimates extend, and the remainder alter the estimates have been sub mitted and approved by them. Of course the first thing to be done is to have the esti mates carefully prepared and this I trust you will impress carefully upon your friends on the other side. Yours truly &o. Copy of letter from H. D. J., Esq., to our agent in New York, dated May 1, 1875: Dear Sir: I wrote yon last onfthe 28th ult., and have since received from Mr. E. W. B. a letter in reference to the P. D. and Salt Lake railroad. I know some of the men on the syndicate, whose names you are like wise familiar with, and can only add that if the American side will work with us, the men are powerful enough to build the line. What they waDt here are estimates, say 200 miles, from which they would make a firm contract with the company on approval of th.e estimates to construct the remainder. This will give them time to survey the re mainder. The men appear fully in earnest, but they say, “ We waut to take up the whole business, and three millions sterling (fifteen million dollars) is, in England, al ways a serious matter.” That the pub ic may understand the rea son for these modifications it is proper to re mark thatlhe contract as originally drawn in London, and sanctioned by us, provided that the contractors should survey and esti mate the cost of construction, and if it did not exceed an average of $30,000 per mile for the whole line, then the contract should be carried into effect; if it did exceed that sum, then it should be optional with them. But they have, as we are advised, taken the wis est course for them and safer course for us, to require the surveys and estimates to he made by us. We are safe iu assuring that the average cost of our road will not exceed $30,000 per mile, even at the former prices for iron, while it is now found to be one- third to one-half cheaper. Having accepted the proposed modifica tions, we have engaged the services of Mr. Thielsen as chief engineer, to take charge of the survey and make the estimates, His signature will be a sufficient guaranty of the integrity of the work. He puts the cost of making the surveys and estimates at $6,000. If this sum shall be promptly subscribed, the contracts may be finally closed by the 1st of August and the work commenced in Sep tember or October next. With the history of this enterprise and its importance to the country the public must be familiar. Four years have been spent in constant, presistent effort for Congress ional aid. In this wo failed. The day had passed for such legislation. But warned of these possible results we, in the meantime, steadily progressed with these negotiations to a point where the final result depends to day not alone upon the patriotism and pub lic spirit of our citizens. With much re spect, W. W. CHAPMAN, President. LATE NEWS. We condense the following news items from the Owyhee Avalanche of June 10th: It is duller in Salt Lake than before in five years.

The Oregon City Enterprise says, the fol lowing letter written by Elisha A. Moore, of Liberty, Clay county, Missouri, under date of May 28th, to a citizen in this county, has been handed to us for publication. It pre sents a sad aspect for the future of that coun ty; I thought I would write and let you know how times are here. It is the worst pros pect I ever saw in my life. The grasshop ■ pers are eating everything that they come to. Thev are as thick as hail here now. They have eaten nearly all the wheat, o#t? and rye and commenced on the corn. I don’ t know that we will raise any thing this year. Every thing is scarce and high. Corn is worth $1 25 per bushel; wheat $1 40 per bushel; flour, $4 per hundred; bacon, 15 cents per pound. A man can’t get work at any price. All the farmers have discharged their hands on account of the grasshoppeis. I expect we will all have to leave here this fall. VVe want you to write how times are in Oregon and the prices of produce. I think we will come out there this fall if the grasshoppers don’ t leave soon. There are lots of people leaving Kansas now. The peo ple in Jackson and Cass are driving their cattle to Iowa for grass. The hoppers have eaten all the grass here. There are lots of people suffering for something to eat here new. Bates'eounty has petitioned to Kan sas City for help; they were starving. Men there took their guns and went to the towns and told the merchants that they were out of everything to eat and out of money and that they had to have some provisions. They would not sell on a credit, and so they took it by force of arms. I am afraid that this will be the case here. We may raise corn yet, if they leave soon, but that is all, for it is too late to raise anything else. Write soon and give us the prices of horses and cattle.
