A letter from Ca?ur d'Aleuc mines to the "Walla "Walla Union says: Contrary to reports already published the trail leading into the Cceur d'Alene mines is yet open to travel. The snow is from a foot and a half to two feet deep, but the constant travel on the trail hes kept the snow well packed. There are about 900 miners in the camp, and provisions are plen tiful, although high prices are de manded. "Whisky, 25 cents a drink: flour, $20 and $25 per barrel; bacon, 35 and 40 cents per peund: coffee, $1.25 and $1.50 per pound. Board, without lodging, $M per week. Only one claim is being worked at present, the "Widow's claim," and is paying from $40 to $80 (coarso gold) to the man per day. Mechanics of all kinds better keep out of the mines until at least June. The miners are putting nip their own cabins and hence there is no demand for men at wages. Gold is found from the grass roots to bed rock, which lies at an average depth of eight feet Our informant was offered $1400 for an unopened claim, but the tender was promptly refused. Hayes Cit3r is situated at a point where Eagle creek bottom widens out to a width of five mile?. There arc only six saloons, two merchandising stores, two hotels, a blacksmith shop and several minor establishments. The "mining ground" ?o far discov ered on Eagle and Prilchard creeks, is about twenty-two miles long by the width of the streams, which will aver age about a mile and a half. On Pritchard creek, above the gravel claims, several well-defined quartz ledges have been found On Lake Cceur d'Alene a large force of me chanics are engaged in setting up two steamers, which are destined for the passenger and ireight trade to the mines. The keels are laid, and the mechanics are now setting up the knees. At Eathdrum the snow is about fifteen inches deep and still falling, while at the mines the snow is twenty inches in depth. The miners do not expect to begin operations until the last of ApriL The Steamer Areata. San Francisco, Jan 1L A report has reached here that the steamer Areata, which sailed from this city on the 5lh, in ballast, for Coos ba;. , to load with coal, was disabled. l is understood that when twelve miles off Empire City, the propeller shaft snapped and the vessel became un manageable. There were thirty pass engers on board, and, as the wind was blowing a gale at the time, great ex citement existed. After beating about for two days, unable to get assist ance from shore, the steamer Walla Walla hove in siffht: but. for some ' reason unknown to the passengers, coming the obstacles where others hhe sailed away without taking the ' had failed, and on the 21th of Decem disablod steamer in tow. It is sup- j ber was proceeding with the lino be posed that the captain of the Walla tween Fetterman and Rawlins, and Walla asked too high an amount for ' was 75 miles north of Eawlins in the salvage. The passengers manifested ' Sweet Water country and near the the greatest indignation. The cap- j Wind river mountains, when the tain of the Areata then provisioned storms overtook them. The snow fell the life-boat, and accompanied by two to the depth of nearly 8 feet; tho sailors started for the shore. The de-1 wind lore all their tents into ribbons, sertion of the captain from the ves-' save one, and the cold was 40 degrees sel produced the most depressing below zero, and work was suspended, effect on tho passengers, who firmly On the 24th they sent out a messenger believed they had been left to their named Picket for Eawlins, whosuc fate. Tho first officer, Marshall, in ceodel in reaching that place in five whoso charge the vessel had been ( days, with dispatches and letters, left, decided to head the steamer un- der canvass for San Francisco. "When about twenty miles off the heads he was picked up by the tug Xra Kiny and safely brought into port Noth ing has been heard of the captain since the day he deserted the steamer, i XiiiriKE uiTi, dan. ii- -.a. nie-uoac from the steamer Areata landed at' Neack's Arch, seventeen miles south ' of Eogue river, on the morning of the 10th. Captain Holt :nd the two sailors arrived here this morning. Oglethrope and Madison counties, Georgia, aje in a ferment over social , developments in -wliich the color line was not respected. In the former county lived Mattie Martin, aged 3G years, a pert school miss. Near by lived John Childers, a mulatto virith some education. The girl disappeared several days ajro, and search was made for her. Attention was drawn j to the fact that Childers was also-j missing. Keports from Madison were to tho effect that the couple were! living in that county as man and wife, j the white bride being devoted to her colored lord. An indignant populaco attacked the cabin where the couple . were living, and dragged Childers off i into tho woods, where it was proposed j to iynca nun. xt was aemueu to iukc him to jail and let the law talco its course." Indignation is still rife, and it is possible that Childers may be lynched at any time. Hazen, third assistant postmaster general, has completed a statement, based upon returns for 140 postoffices that usually return one-half of tho postal revenue, showing that the gross receipts for the quarter ending December 31, were $5,633,876. This is a falling off in the receipts' for the corresponding quarter of the previous year, of S183,85i, or 13 per cent. As the reduction of postage went into affect during the quarter, returns were awaited with some anxiety by postal officials, who were in doubt in xegard to the effect of the reduced rate upon the revenues of the de partment A loss of five per cent had been expected. The returns are Tery gratifying, as they indicate that the department will bo in receipt of a revenue sufficient at least to meet al expenses the present fiscal year. Lewis county formerly embraced ell the territory north and east of the Colombia river, in what was known yeareago as Oregon Territory. As settlers came in it was divided, other counties being marked off, until it now embraces only that portion ly ing between townships ten and four 'teen north and south, and be 'tween Pacific and akiakum coun ties and the summit of the Cascade mountains, east and west or about twenty miles in width, 125 miles in fleagtlLSIt contains about 2500 square .miles, three-quarters of which are capable of sustaining four large f ara- ilies to each square mile. NEWS OF THE NORTHWEST. The weri: of construction on the Palouse branch of the N. P. has been stoppsd for the present L H. liice, a Tacoma man, has taken the contract to build a S5.000 hotel at G ray's harbor. A number of Tacoma parties have purchased property down there, and the town seems to be on the eve of a boom. James Elgin is the loading shep ard of Yakima county, "W. T. He has a flock of sheep numbering 3250. They are now on his winter range in the Rattlesnake country. Ho has oc cupied this range in winter for four reasons. His loss last winter was only twenty-throe, the greatest of the four vears." He does not feed them at alL A correspondent of the Wailsburg Times writing from Dayton says. Court is still held in the church, and a curious picture is presented of the judge sitting under the inscription in large evergreen letters "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace good will toward men," while before him is a group of wrangling lawyers disputing over the guilt of a miser able horscthief. Last .Monday, &uys The Dalles Jlouniainctr, the foundry stopped work for the winter season, thereby throwing about forty-seven men out of employment This has been the source of about $3500 a month reve nue to this city since the 1st of last April. Last Tuesday thirteen me chanics were discharged. "Wo pre sume these will be the last who will be discharged this winter, as it re quires a large number of mechanics to attend to the repairing.

Four years ago there" was hrtre but a wild waste of sand and suge brush inhabited only by the c.iyote and an occasional sfwash. l'ov it is a town of 700 and 800 people with niDst every branch of business well represented. The solid granite piers for the Northern Pacific railroad bridge across the Snake river at Ainsworth are beginning to look quite conspicuous. Six or seven of them areabou. completed and a night and day force of men are busy at work on the remaining two or three. Several surveyor were detailed by the TJ. P. to establish a line from Cheyenne to Fort Laramie thence to Sawhns, making a half moon line, says the Lewiston, Idaho, Teller. They failed to make a line from Lar amie io Feiterman, and T. A.
