The ill-fated steamship Pacific, that was lost at sea last Thursday evening, about 40 miles from Cape Flattery, was built at New Y ork in the year 1851, by W . H. Brown, and consequently was 24 years old. By consulting American Lloyds, for 1871, we find at that time the Pacific was com manded by Capt. F C. Scholl. A t that date she was not surveyed, and her class upon the Maritime Register was A 2. The Pacific was of 876 tons register, w i'h 12 feet draft, She was built of oak and chestnut and fastened with copper and iron bolts.— In 1870 the vessel was placed on the ways and remetaled. For many years the Pa cific was owned by the North PacificTrans- portation Company, and formerly run on the line between San Francisco a..d Port land. In the year 1862 the Pacific r»\n aground while com ing up the Columbia River near Coffin Rock, when it was dis covered that the forward part of the ves sel was quite rotten and not able to with stand a heavy shock. However the stea mer was tempoiarily repaired and contin ued to make regular trips. Being consid ered unseaworthy, the steamer was plac ed on the ways at San Francisco in 1869, overhauled and had new boilers 54x10 feet placed in. She was then placed on the route between San Francisco and points along the southern coast of California, and continued to run for several years.— Over a year ago the vessel was sold, and for some time past has been running in Goodall, Nelson & Co.’s line between San Francisco, V ictoria and Sound ports Her dimensions were: Length, 228 feet, beam 33% feet, hold 17 feet, and her model in the Lloyds is classed as “ M .” For a long time the steamer has not been considered a safe vessel to travel on, but for some rea son was permitted to run. T hose Eost. Captain Jeff Howell was in com m and of the Pacific when she was lost, and shared a com m on fate with those who met a wa tery grave. It w ill be remembered that Captain Howell was the individual who, some months ago, left the steamship Los Angeles when that vessel was disabled Off Tillam ook Head, and after encountering unnumbered perils reached the land and brought intelligence of the disaster to As toria. Form erly Captain Howell was first mate under Capt. Connor on the Portland San Francisco route. He was a brother- in-law of Jefferson Davis, ex-president of the Southern Confederacy, and was regar ded as a brave and experienced seaman. Most of the passengers on board the Pa cific were from Victoria and Puget Sound, some of them are known in this city, and a few have relatives residing here. The first names which greet the eye are those of J. Hellmuth and wife. Mr. Hellmuth has resided for some years near W alla W alla, and, having acquired a handsome competence, was on his way to Europe, ac companied by his wife. Mr. H. C. Victor, husband o f the talented authoress, Mrs. F F. V ictor, was also on board. Hon. G. T. Vining, formerly of Southern Oregon, who has served in the legislature several terms from Josephine county, and who was also a candidate for Secretary of State, is among the lost. He has resided for several $ears in Washington Territory. Mr. Fred D. Hard, who formerly held the position of special postal agent for W . T., also perish ed. Am ong those who sailed from Victo ria we observe the follow ing: Mr. Francis Garesche, W .f F. & Co.’s agent at that place, and a banker. He had on board the steamer at the time about $500,000 in gold dust which he was taking to the m int at San Francisco. Messrs. Rockwell & Hurlbut, the grea^. horse trainers, perished, together with the members of their com pany. They had on board the beautiful and wonderfully trained horse “ Mazeppa,” the fleet-footed “ Mark Twain,” the little filly “ Star,” which was so universally admired, and the two trick dogs, not one o f which es caped the remorseless sea. Messrs. R ock well & Hurlbut were on their way to their home in Binghamton, New York.— Orego search with the revenue cutter Oliver Wol cott, and when close to Neah Bay she picked up three dead bodies, one of which was a woman with ring marked L. and H. suppos ed to be Mrs. Lawson of Victoria. On the same day the Wolcott picked up two trunks, one of which was a lady’s, with valuable wearing apparel; the other was evidently the trunk of the man who had been exhibi ting how to tame horses, as the straps and other articles are what he used. One of the bodies is Geo. Vining of Puyallup, who had on his person bills of lading for hops ship ped by him at Tacoma. The watch found on him stopped at 9:30 P. M. on the pisaster. The other was evidently a fireman or coal passer. The pilot schooner has not returned. She is out in search of bodies. It is evident that all who had life-preservers on did not live 12 hours after the wreck, as the sea was very rough, with cold winds and rains. Neil 0 . Henley, the quartermaster saved' by the Wolcott, says the second mate told him that he thought the mate, with eight of the crew in a boat, got clear of the ship. They may be heard from yet. The Wolcott has gone cruising along the coast of Vancouver Island as far as Barclay Sound- The Gussie Telfair went south on this side as far as Quitleliuyte. The Wolcott has taken Indians and canoes to search along the shore. If there is any one alive on the shores they will be picked up by the Indians, who are on the lookout. The people at Victoria should watch th beach from Sooke to Race Rock, and also on Dujeness and Ingeles Spit, as the current has be n so strong from the westward that the uodies which came in to the straits have gone far up. There is no doubt but that the two saved are all that will be found alive except the one boat, if she made the shore. It js evident that very little of the steamer broke up ex cept the part of the hurricane deck where the wheel stood, which was the means of sa ving the lives of the two men picked up. The three men who died on tire raft did not live fourteen hours, and those with life pre servers on could not live so long. I have been out two days among the drift kelp where the bodies were found and the pieces of wreck were, and failed to Ike any thing which I thought belonged to a ship or bark, all was light material that belonged to a steamer. There has been nothing seen of the vessel the steamer struck. She must have sunk or gone to San Francisco; We spoke several vessels from outside ant^none saw anything of the disabled vessel. The Wolcott and pi lot boat will continue the search as long as there are any hopes of picking up bodies. The mate is supposed to have got clear of the ship with eight men in the quarter boat. The quartermaster says Captain Howell was the last man to leave the skip. Eosers b y the disaster L a C oxneh , Nov. 11'—Among the losers by the stemship Pacific were Messrs. Cal houn Bros, and J. S. Conner o f this place. Messrs. Calhoun Bros, shipped!,700!bush- els grain, consigned to J. Everding & Co., San Francisco, on which there was no insu rance. J. S. Conner shipped 4,300 bushels grain, consigned to Corbitt & Macleay and J. Everding. S. F. Conner was partially insured. Neil O. Ile n ly ’ s Statem ent. N eah B a y , W. T. N ov - 10.—The statement ol Neil 0. Henly, late quartermaster of the ill-fated steamer Pacific, rescued by the U. S. revenue cut ter Oliver Wolcott, Captain Harwood, commander, is as follows: On the morning of the 4th inst, we left Victoria, B. C. at 9:30 A. M., with about 250 passengers on board. A ll went well. We passed Tatoosh light about 4 P . M., with afresh southerly wind and heavy swell. I belonged to the second officer’s watch, and went below at 8 o ’clock P. 11. Every thing was all right, and the light’s in place. About 10 P.M. I was aroused b y a terrific crash, I jum p ed from my berth, while, the water was rushing in, filling the forecastle- Gaining the deck all was confusion. The passengers were all crowding on the hurncone deck. The first I hoard was Capt- Howell shouting, “ Hard a starboard!” which was done, and tne ship fell off into the trough o f the sea and became unmanageable. I looked on the star, board beam and saw a large vessel, under sail, which they said had struck the ship. I saw her green light distinctly, but cannot state bow far off. At this time the passengers crowded into the boats against the command iff the captain and officei^ who were trying to clear them away. I was at the forward port boat with the chief engineer- There were about 15 women and six m en in her. We succeeded in getting her into the water, when she struck the ship and filled. The ship seemed to be nian. rolling over toward me. I did not see the engineer L ist of.P assesigers: or boat afterwards. About this time I was sub The following is a list of the passengers merged, and, letting go the chain, I cam e to the on the Pacific, fourteen of the first ones surface and gripped end of the liurrycane deck sky- mentioned, together with ten or twelve in hghts, which I retained about fifteen minutes, when the steerage, being from Puget Sound and it capsized and I lost m y hold.

N ov . 12 — All day Tuesday a terrific storm raged and it was impossible to go out side o f the Cape, so ali th e labor o f the two steam ers was devoted to searching the. north and south shoaes of the Straits, with only the results above indicated. On Wednesday it moderated |and the commander of the Wolcott determined to search the shore of Vancouver Island as far north as Bar clay Sound, 35 miles from Cape Flattery. A t about the same tim e the steamer Telfair started in her search to the southward. During the passage along the Vancouver shore ail the Indians seen were com municated with, bnt farther than the fact that some light timbers, deck buckets and boxes had been found, nothing was ascertained. Steaming up Barclay Sound, the first Indian village was hailed, and a canoe came off containing a white man, who came aboard and introduced himself as the first mate o f the ship Orpheus. He stated that he had been run into the Thursday night previous b y a steamer, and was wrecked on the fclowing eaturday morning on an island near by Copper Island. The captain and crew had got ashore safely, and were encamped farther-up. ?tocee.iing in the direction indicated, an or a vouched, th w hich was Captain Sawyer, oi the .p Orpheus. He gave the following account of the disaster: On Thursday evening he was approaching the Cape, and was, by his reckoning’ about twenty miles off, with a fresh southeast breeze, steering about northwest, before the wind. His man at the wheel first saw the steamer’s headlight off th e port bow, and then immediately after straight ahead. He could see neither of her side lights, and could not make out which direction she was coming. He put his helm astarboard and turned his ship’s head oil shore. The light came nearer, and he continued to star board his helm until his vessel had turned around, his sails were fiat aback and his ship hove to. The Steamer, b y this time, had got very near him, and blew one whistle, and in less than a half a minute after, her bow struck his ship a glancing blow just abaft the fore ebams crushing in the rail and break ing his planking down to near the copper. She surged alongside o f her, striking and grating along his starboard side, carrying away all his starboard braces and rigging on that side and also his fore topmast and topgallant mast. Capt, Sawyer states he hailed the steam er as she surged past and call ed to them to lay by him, and send him a boat, as he then supposed his ship to be in a sinking con dition, but no one answered his hail, neither did he see any one on her deck- She drifted or steamed away, he was not certain which, and h e afterwards saw a flash light, which he took for a signal at that tim e—they had heard his bail and w-ould lay by him. He saw her no more, and his ship a t that time demanded all his attention. He lay to the re mainder of that night and nearly all day Friday re pairing his rigging, and that afternoon got under way and again made sail for the land, allowing for two knots northerly set off the current for his po sition, from widen he had first hove to. Soon after dark he made a light, which he took for Cape Flat tery, not knowing that there was a light on the coast farther north, nor did his latest sailing make note ot a n y. He allowed five miies clearance for Duncan rock, and considered himself safe afteren- tering the Straits of Fuca, when, about 5 o ’clock Saturday morning, his ship scraped over a reef, and immediately alter struck her bow on a rock, stuck fast and filled. The light he mistook for Flat tery is on Capo Beale, the entrance of Barclay Sound, 35 miles north o f the former. How the ship escaped dangers passed before she struck is a mys tery to all who have examined the admiralty chart of Barclay Sound. The ship will prove a total loss. Capt. Sawyer got all the valuables he could out of her, and encampted on the shore with his wife and crew in tents made o f her sails. ure. With the influence of the whole of the Oregon delegation in favor of annexation, it is scarcely within the bounds ofpossibility that the measure can fail, and hence it is that the friends of annexation are hopeful of success. Annexed to Oregon and co-oper ating with the eastern counties, our influ ence would be felt :n receiving appropria tions toward opening the Columbia and im proving the navigation o f Snake river. This is a meaure in which Oregon is largely in terested, and that sooner or later is sure to be realized. A.dd our influence to that al ready bearing upon Oregou Congressmen, and the close of the next session would see a large appropriation to be expended in lock ing and darning the “ great river of the west. Another advantage that w ouliiresult from annexation, would be the introduction oi capital from abroad in aid of local enter prises. Portland capitclists would then re gard us as “ bone of their bone and flesh .¡f their flesh,” and instead of giving us *bo cold shoulder now, would gls^Uy m ake loa n s at reasonable rates- The value o f fa rm lauds and town property would be enhanced, and annexation a fixed fact, our beautiful \ alloy would enter upon a new era of prosperity. T h e V a lle y an d tlie V a lle y Mines. Once more Mr. Editor we are seated to enlighten your dear readers on the doings in the “ rural dis tricts” and the mines and crops in the valley have been very large this season. One c^hnot iorm any correct idea of the am ount o f grain grown in this little valley without personal observation and in quiry. On six farms not more than eight to ten miles from Baker City, there was harvested, this season, no less than twenty thousand bushels of grain—.wheat, oats and barley. One man within a few miles o f the city, this season raised a vegetable garden worth five hundred dollars, besides doing four months work in the mines—and still dissatis fied inhabitants o f this flowery land, so prolific in harvests of grain and gold, sigh and weep for “ a better country.” Alas! for the variety Of reasonable men Under the sun-— (Tom Hood ‘ ‘doctored” to suit) Tlie M in in g Season is about over, y et several companies are still at work on the Powder River slope. These mines are beginning to assume their true status among miners—which is that they are, on the whole, the best paying mines in the country. M ining opera tions on this slope w ill be much -more extensive next season than heretofore.
