Some apprehension baa been expressed tbat
the increased production of the agricultural
districts, above the Dalles, would In time effect
the amount of freights up the Columbia river,
and tbat in consequence, the proportion of
freight to popnlation would continual! de
crease. The articles of agricultural production
east of this point are, and will be for many
years, principally meat and bread, which form
about one quarter of tbe total weight of ship
ments to any mining section. These average
about one and a half pounds to the man aday.
Tbe time in which the mines will be altogether
Bupplied from tbe fields and pastures east of
the Cascades, may be reasonably anticipated
at five years in the future. From tbense for
ward, one quarter of the weight of mining
freights will cease to pay tribute to the navi
gation of the Columbia, allowing tbat tbe
average of freight to the man is six pounds a

a scarcity of provisions in Montana the com

enter into some combination to procure the
earliest information of tbe probable deficit
until the 10th of June. ' They would also do
well to have their goods forwarded as soon as
the road is practicable, to the Spokane Plain
or even to Pen d'Oreille Lake, so tbat
by the 1st or 10th of March they may be
moved toward Hellgate and the mines. An
inconsiderable expense will procure early and
definite information about affairs in Montana,
nd those who move early will gain an ad
vantage which will well repay them for their

Doe cannot be found, and an opinion Is grow

who were formerly so plentiful in Boise, are
now very scattering. They have gradually
drifted out of the country; been shot, hung,

reflection, that "the boys"' are 11 passing
As the matter now stands, but a small por
tion of tbe live-stock coming east of the moun
tains pays anything to the navigation interest,
but when the supply of such stock for tbe
mines is derived entirely from tbe interior to
tbe east, tbe pastoral population will require
an increase of transportation, which will form
an important element in sustaining the present
proportion of freights to population.
But by far the most important considera
tion, is the increased demand for transporta
tion caused by tbe development of tbe quartz
mines. Take for instance a forty. stamp mill.
with its equipments, weighing oue hundred
tons ; its annual repairs, and the beavy hoist
ing apparatus of an extensive mining com
pany, and add the usual ratio of supplies, and
we bave a vast increase of freights over the
demands of ordinary placer mines. A mining
company snch as this, will work fifty hands,
and tbe average of freight for five years, in
cluding the required machinery, will be at
tbe rate of one hundred tons a year, or some.
thing over twice as much as the requirements
of the placer mines.
From these circumstances, we infer that tbe
relation of freights to population, iu tbe com
ing five years, will indicate an increase, and
that this relation is likely to be sustained as
long as the mines continue to be operated
with an annually increasing force. There are,
however, other considerations which may
measurably effect this conclusion, and it
seems to be the part of wisdom to take them
into account. The cheapness of draft stock,
on the Missouri frontier and in California, has
stimulated the employment of teams from
those localities to our mining districts, 'with
the calculation that in the eveht of competi
tion from thence proving impracticable, tbey
would still find a better field here than in tbe
countries wbere tbey were produced
From present indications the amount of
farm produce from California to tbe mines,
and of machinery from the Atlantic slope
will cause no small diminution in tbe trade
of the Columbia for the coming year. The
competition thus forced by a state of circum
stances incident to tbe relations of tbe several
sections, may be continued from some advan
