The waters flowtiir into Sohswap River, a.nl
fioin thence through Souawnp Lake and Katn-
loos Lake, whli t lie flowojie from tbe north-
' eni rim of llie Columbia Basin, carry (n their
drift, )iod in quantities which lecent pro.
I cc ling demonstrates 10 be good rajing pla
cert. Among the principal leeders.of Hun
awap, from I lie east Htid south-e Bf-t lire Cherry
and Sjiillemedseen creeks. These rise in the Si-1-k
rk Ktng', and Cherry (Jreek is the farthest
south. A few miles from it confluence with the
" nuswnp River, Cherry Creek hritnches, nnd on
the dividing rldfj" between its forks, a milrorso
from the junction, lire the Filver-lnilea, which
a few week sirco roducud such on t-xii'e-went
among quartz-operators in this country.
Tilt so lode have not, as yet, been developed,
imd the r.arlits interested nre wailing the no
tion of 'he Coloniiil authorities, before prn.
ceediui; to nclive operations.
The custom of tbe British authorities Is to
(runt an extensive reserve on the line, nnd in
the neighborhood of quartz-lodes, with acermin
length of time in which prospectors may find
out the most vnluahle sections of the mine,
after which litey elect a smaller area, which
is tensed to them at a nominal rent fur a term
of years, usually twenty-one. In these mines
several petitions for reserves of two miles
erjimre have bsen granted, and a period of
eighteen months given tor the petitioners to
make the selection of Ihe reduced quai titles
id ground on which ihey propose to commence
permanent mining operations. This arrange
ment protects discoverers in tbe eijntment
ot extensive mining privileges, and makes a
good discovery doubly valuable by giving a
perfest title and tiudiaturbed possession.
On Cherry Creek, good placers were worked
iu 1801, but they were limited in extent. It is
now reported, tbat to the north, on the west?
em slop of tbe S.-lkirk Range, good placers
are found; only equalled, and not surpassed
by loose, on lue, eastern, or Columbia Iliver
Slope. J
The southern edge of this new mining dis
trict is about two hundred and for y miles diie
north ot this place, and can be reached nine
mouths iu the year from the Dalles, by keep
ing tbe route on the west side of the Coluin
bin, ot which we have before spoken in this
paper. The route to be traveled is remarkably
direct and will not be over three hundred miles.
la supplying the demand for leadit.g do
mestic staple", we would have only the Irat s
portation from ,the Willamette Valley to the
Dalles, and from thence -to tbe mines. It
wpuld be impossible for Victoria to take the
k'me articles from Portland to that place, from
thence send them to Fort Yale ; thence carry
them one hundred and fourteen miles by land
thence ou hundred and fifty by water up
Kimlugps 'and Souswap lake, and then pack
or haul theru from . thirty 10 a hundred miles
into the mountains, Iu jhis kind of con
lest, we should have lb advantage of 1 hotter
and cheaper water transit, 4ttd lien ptiVo'u'r
supplies on pack-animals which post about
half as much here as they do in British C 1-tni
bia. We will certainly win, in case our Brit
ish neighbors thiuk til to try and take this
trs.de.,' , ' '
We recommend to those having interests io
this matter to take' it in band,' and give to
lii is plac - the prominence it merits, in cpnoe
tlon with ttie'trndeto the loinhifnmriiiog'dis
tricls of 'the British possessions.,. Our advan
iiges of location, are so obvious that Ihey
mutt strike me reason ot an, upon the slight

there are 1 1,534 enrolled militia in the S ate,
of which Wasco County has 1 ,3J3. There is
only one county lhatjinrt a gre'ier Dumber
Linn, 1,312. The report contains sinff and
fegiuienlafra'-ter, among which we are glad
to uotice the name of Hrig. Gen. Orlando
Ilutnason, commanding Ihe Third Biigade,
who it was reported intended to resign ; as
also a full statement of the warlike machinery
belonging to the State. Iu ihe.-e "piping
times of peace " we do not give that import
ance to such matters whLh ihey deserve, himI
as ' giiinvienged war has smoothed his
wtiukleil front "it is to hoped 1(111 ihe day
may never come when the Oregon militia will
be culled on to " go after " a foreign or do
mestic loe. It that day ever does airive I heir
enemies will do well to keep a good look out
for their hair, ns our youthful warriors have
sbowu a marked predilection for fighting in
eve.y place where they have been tried.

'Lvctcr ON Ckolouy. The Uev. Thomas
Condon will deliver a l.-clure this evening, on
the geology of the interior seciion of Oregon.
It will be remembered by citizens of the
Dalles that Mr. Condon was engaged on a tour
of ol-servation Iu tbe south nnd south-east ot
lis place in the fall, a' d during that lime
made collections of fos.-ils, ores and the like,
hii-h, when intelligently commented upon,
serve to illustrate a tlieo y nnd instruct the
mind. The tul ject ot geologv is one which
Mr. Condon studies w ith great intensity, nnd
having 11 singular perspicuity of thought and
expression, we leel assured ibat his heareis
will be richly rewarded for Iheir at endance
at ihe Congregaiio.'ial Church on the occasion
of the delivery of his lecture. The proceeds
of ibe admission fee will be used for lbs ben
efit of tbe Sunday School.

the Statetman of the 8:h. inst the following;
A genilemac just from Blackfoot, iy the

in very bad condition, from being very muddy.
Not more than ten miles a day could be mad
