TRAFTS ou the Eastern Citice at the Lowest . Year. some seven thousand persons have reRates, sorted to these new mines for the purposes a Collections made, and State and County Se-. of mining, trade and specu lation. Beside curities purchased at the highest Market value. the Nez Perces proper, are the Colville, Similkameen, Rock Creek, Pends-Oreilles and Wenatchee mines, but the same may be said with regard to all of them—the few rich spots are at once selected by parties already on the ground, while bundreds of them make put paying or starving wages, The latest discovery is at Powder river, where mines of surpassing richness are supposed to exist. Occasional patches of arable land are found along the elevated valleys, which are cultivated by the Nez Perces Indians, who are somewhat skilled in agriculture. On the bars of most of the rivers are good mines, in which some places largely remunerative wages bave been made. The quality of the gold found near Elk City is the best; that above Oro Fino the second in . quality; and that about Salmon, the third. It is proved beyond all controversy that the head waters of nearly all the streams hav. ing their sources in the western spurs of the Bitter Root mountains are in the midst of rich gold deposits, extending almost continuously from the northern mines of California to the new and rich discoveries in the Cariboo district.

HAVE JUST RECEVED AT) which appears to influence the British Govit bae subdued Megico; it extends from the . NUMBER 578. To Prevent River Ovetows:. The San Francisco Alta makes the following suggestions relative to preventing overflows iv our rivers; The cheapest and most effectual method to secure this result suggests in the proposition, to make lakes in the headwaters of the rivers, and if the formation of the country is sach as to permit four ur more to be made on the hendwaters of the Sacramento, and its tributaries, and two on the San Joaquin, this result would seemingly be arrived at. The following example of the effect of a lake system in mitigating the effects of a sudden rise of water by the drainage ofa mountainous country is shown by the measurment of the waters of the river Adda, in the flood of 1829. The quantity of water entering the Lake of Como, by careful observation, was found to reach the enormous amount of 70;000 cubic feet per second, while at the eame time the greatest quantity issuing from the lake was 28,140 cubic feet per second, and this maximum of issue was not reached until one and a balf days after the greatest amount of influx. This natural arrangement prevented a most disastrous flood, and if the topograpby of the country at our river heads admit of it, we may avail ourselves of large artificial reservoirs to spread and hold in check our surplas waters without a miracle of cost, The Adda drains a basin of 1,725 spuare miles of mountain country, and 539 square miles of valley.a totwl of 1,264 square miles, with an average volume of 6,932 cubic feet per second. The Lake of Como in its greatest width is three miles, but oftener from one to two miles only. It is in three parts the first twelve miles long, the second eighteen, and the third twelve. And as it required these immense reservoirs to reduce the lower Adda to less than one half its volume, we can, from these data, make some rough estimatefof the work necessary tu reduce the volume of our large rivers to a measure that will keep them within their banks, On the Island of Lucinda is a similar natural resorvoir, to hold surplus water, to that described above. The tropical rains pour for weeks upon a mountainous counia but the waters are collected into a lake with an outlet so narrow,the volume of water in the River Pasig is never so great as todo much damage to the fertile valley through which it flows tothe sea. It now remains to us to avail ourselves of similar resorvoirs wherever they can be made, and in time to make use of all the surplus waters ia our mining and agricultural parsuites, ARM THE SvaTeE.—One important matter which should receive the early attention of the Legislature is the defenceless condition of our State. There is no State in the Un‘ion so much exposed to foreign invasion, ; and at the same time none, with the exception of Oregon, perbaps, 0 poorly prepared to repel it. We have no organization, no militia, and no arms, Gov. Downey recommended the purchase of 100,000 stand otf arme. While we do not need but about half that number at present, we bad better have . double that number than be without. This . State should have at least twenty-five or (thirty thousand well armed and drilled ‘troops, and purchase arms from time to . time as needed and as improved in modern /manufacture, The dangers which menace /us at the present do not admit of delay.— . An impression (which we are sorry to ad. mit is trne) prevails io foreign countriesihat . the Pacific States of the republic would be . a rich prize and an easy prey to any of the . maratime powers at the present time. The . Sooner this imprersion is removed the better; and the only way to remove it is to pat the State on a war footing witb our sis. ters, by organizing and arming the people. . We need cavalry and artillery equipments . only to a limited extent. What we want . most and firstis organization—enrollment. . We owe these precautions to our sister . States, to the vation; to our future, as well . as need them for our present safety. The . cost of arms and armories is as nothing compared to the secmrity they would afford. . Our funds are low, and credit may be nec. essary; but we believe the people would . sooner be taxed than continue in their present unorganized and dangerous condition. The Federal Government bas raised a few troops which remain among us ; but aside from this, nothing has been done, aod nothing will be done unless the legislature takes the matter in band. What ean we reasona. bly expect the General Government to do for us, if we show no interest in our own defence.—[{Mountain Messenger. j j . . Quire Pror-er.—While a game of “props”’ was going on at San Francisco, a few eve. nings since, a hole was cut in the back part of a money drawer, and the cash was stolen therefrom as faet as the other thief took it in by his rascally game. The ‘props’? man at the conclusion of bis game found but a few five cent pieces where he expected to get about $150, Good joke on the gameater.

Beside curities purchased at the highest Market value. the Nez Perces proper, are the Colville, Similkameen, Rock Creek, Pends-Oreilles and Wenatchee mines, but the same may be said with regard to all of them—the few rich spots are at once selected by parties already on the ground, while bundreds of them make put paying or starving wages, The latest discovery is at Powder river, where mines of surpassing richness are supposed to exist. Occasional patches of arable land are found along the elevated valleys, which are cultivated by the Nez Perces Indians, who are somewhat skilled in agriculture. On the bars of most of the rivers are good mines, in which some places largely remunerative wages bave been made. The quality of the gold found near Elk City is the best; that above Oro Fino the second in . quality; and that about Salmon, the third. It is proved beyond all controversy that the head waters of nearly all the streams hav. ing their sources in the western spurs of the Bitter Root mountains are in the midst of rich gold deposits, extending almost continuously from the northern mines of California to the new and rich discoveries in the Cariboo district.

The San Francisco Alta makes the following suggestions relative to preventing overflows iv our rivers; The cheapest and most effectual method to secure this result suggests in the proposition, to make lakes in the headwaters of the rivers, and if the formation of the country is sach as to permit four ur more to be made on the hendwaters of the Sacramento, and its tributaries, and two on the San Joaquin, this result would seemingly be arrived at. The following example of the effect of a lake system in mitigating the effects of a sudden rise of water by the drainage ofa mountainous country is shown by the measurment of the waters of the river Adda, in the flood of 1829. The quantity of water entering the Lake of Como, by careful observation, was found to reach the enormous amount of 70;000 cubic feet per second, while at the eame time the greatest quantity issuing from the lake was 28,140 cubic feet per second, and this maximum of issue was not reached until one and a balf days after the greatest amount of influx. This natural arrangement prevented a most disastrous flood, and if the topograpby of the country at our river heads admit of it, we may avail ourselves of large artificial reservoirs to spread and hold in check our surplas waters without a miracle of cost, The Adda drains a basin of 1,725 spuare miles of mountain country, and 539 square miles of valley.a totwl of 1,264 square miles, with an average volume of 6,932 cubic feet per second. The Lake of Como in its greatest width is three miles, but oftener from one to two miles only. It is in three parts the first twelve miles long, the second eighteen, and the third twelve. And as it required these immense reservoirs to reduce the lower Adda to less than one half its volume, we can, from these data, make some rough estimatefof the work necessary tu reduce the volume of our large rivers to a measure that will keep them within their banks, On the Island of Lucinda is a similar natural resorvoir, to hold surplus water, to that described above. The tropical rains pour for weeks upon a mountainous counia but the waters are collected into a lake with an outlet so narrow,the volume of water in the River Pasig is never so great as todo much damage to the fertile valley through which it flows tothe sea. It now remains to us to avail ourselves of similar resorvoirs wherever they can be made, and in time to make use of all the surplus waters ia our mining and agricultural parsuites, ARM THE SvaTeE.—One important matter which should receive the early attention of the Legislature is the defenceless condition of our State. There is no State in the Un‘ion so much exposed to foreign invasion, ; and at the same time none, with the exception of Oregon, perbaps, 0 poorly prepared to repel it. We have no organization, no militia, and no arms, Gov. Downey recommended the purchase of 100,000 stand otf arme. While we do not need but about half that number at present, we bad better have . double that number than be without. This . State should have at least twenty-five or (thirty thousand well armed and drilled ‘troops, and purchase arms from time to . time as needed and as improved in modern /manufacture, The dangers which menace /us at the present do not admit of delay.— . An impression (which we are sorry to ad. mit is trne) prevails io foreign countriesihat . the Pacific States of the republic would be . a rich prize and an easy prey to any of the . maratime powers at the present time. The . Sooner this imprersion is removed the better; and the only way to remove it is to pat the State on a war footing witb our sis. ters, by organizing and arming the people. . We need cavalry and artillery equipments . only to a limited extent. What we want . most and firstis organization—enrollment. . We owe these precautions to our sister . States, to the vation; to our future, as well . as need them for our present safety. The . cost of arms and armories is as nothing compared to the secmrity they would afford. . Our funds are low, and credit may be nec. essary; but we believe the people would . sooner be taxed than continue in their present unorganized and dangerous condition. The Federal Government bas raised a few troops which remain among us ; but aside from this, nothing has been done, aod nothing will be done unless the legislature takes the matter in band.
