Victoria. The next morning a flying er

been seen travelling, to the tune of the

newly discovered Ophir. At dusk on the
following day, they were seen slowly drag
iug their weary length back ecrose Enqui

man who hed reported gold on “ Mt.

that no one was found courageous enough

The Coroner and several person: who

’ Through the kindness of Mr. C. H.
WILLIAMS we are placed in possession of
copies of the Victoria Gazette of the 24th,
i‘lfilh, 2m: and 28th August.
i We clip from the Gazelle the following
iinteresting summary of news :
, The news from Frazer river is encoura
lging. The water is falling rapidly. The
steamer Otter brought down $30,000 in
gold dust.
Kent at Smith's Express brought down
six hundred ounces of gold dust, the great
'er portion of which was irom the sluice
claims on Texas bar. ’
On Hill’s bar 100 rockers and 400 men
are at work, averaging an ounce per day.
From Pikds claim on Pike's bar, above
Fort Yule, 80 ounces were taken out in
three days.
We are indebted to Mr. Charles Cook,
who arrived here last night at a late hour,
from Port Hope, in the whale boat Carib
bean. bringing dispatches to Gov. Dong
las, and Wells, Fargo & Co’s Express, for
the following important news concerning
the Indian disturbances on Fraser river :
Mr. Cook states that a courier had ar
rived at Fort Yale with later intelligence
from the party of Capt. Graham, denying
the story of their reported massacre. It
seems that only part of the story told at
Fort Yule on Saturday night, and publish
ed in this paper on yesterday, is true ; that
is, so much as relates to the starting out of
the three companies from Fort Yale. the
making of the treaty of peace by Capt.
Snyder, and the subsequent arrival at the
Indian Comp, of Capt, Graham's company.
Here the Indians showed Graham the
treaty, and were friendly, and at night the
whites camped near the Indian rancheria.
[A party at Indians who had been out on
a "war hunt," returned to the rancheria
about eleren o’clock at night, and seeing a
company 4 whites encamped near their
huts, fired upon them without giving any
notice of their presence. Before the fire
was returned or repeated, the friendly In
dians gave a signal, and succeeded in pre
venting further hostilities ; then full expla
nation was made, and the newly arrived In
dians signified their willingness to abide by
the treaty, and regret at t a firing, and the
whites were pacified. Capt. Graham and
his first lieutenant were both killed out
right, and one or two of his company
wounded. '
i The courier who brought the new: of the
mussucre of all his comrades to Fort Yule,
end creutod the excitement ut thet pluce
which prevailed on Saturday night and
Sundey morning leet, thinking there wee n
surfiriee, to be followed by u mneeucre,
too to the woods end made good his re—
trent into Fort Yule without wnltinfio
lheer the explanation given nbove. e
I[nuance of his story is untrue. The com
puny were to continue their march up the
river. Nothing further hud been heard
from Gupta. Snyder and Yntee.
Two men were drowned lust week in
coming through the Upper Big Canon, and
during the three deye of Thunduy, Friday
end Saturday lest, eight deed bodlee were
taken out of Frauer river—three without
heads. The finding of these bodice had
given color to the etory of the horrible
mussucre, end hnd tended grently lolu
cenee the miners. They are now pacified,
end it is thought there will be little more
trouble with the Indiune.
; The stenmer H’ilm G. Hunt arrived
last evening shout 7} o’clock from Fort
‘Lengley, where she connected with the
iEnlerpriu, running between the place and
Port. Hope. The Hum! brought. down
‘ubont 100 passengers.
1 Mr. Robert Willinmeu, who came pas
{anger on che Hunt, informs us the: the
;river we: felling llowly, and that. the Indi
en troubles were being micnbly settled.
Capt. Snyder, with 200 men, had reached
the Forks of Frazer end Thompson rivers,
Ind mode Lrenties of peace with all the
Indian tribes he met with on the route.
A luge number of miners who were at
work nbove the upper big Cenyon, at the
breeking out of the Indien dietnrbnneea,
becoming elm-med, abandoned their clninu
end cempe, in many inetencu leaving their
mining implemenu, provisions, «kc, behind
them, end came into Fort Yule for protec.
tion. These men complein thet they find
on their return, that their tents here been
robbed, in they believe in the majority of
cones, by rucnlly white men. \
The ndvenco portion of e peck train,

10f the train were at the Indian village——

Ithat the Hudson Buy Co. will give licenses
'to trude on Pruner river upon payment of
a duty of tcn'per cent. ed ulorem. This
is e pretty hony tax, but we are satisfied
it will be reudily paid by merchants and
1 others. Some, may be, who deuylhe right
of the Compsuy to levy such 3 tax, will
lprobebly pay under protest, while others
will be but too glad to find a market for
their surplus merchandise to hoggls übom,

rumor may prove true, as the present nau

two, we will be able, probably, to speak
more advisedly on this subject—Vicmu.

that. the road party is progressing finely.
On Friday noon they had completed about
ten miles of the trail, and were confidant of
being able to make from four to slx miles
per dsy when full Irnngcments for tron
sporting provisions on the reed are com~
letcd. This will be soon, as the Modem:

landed at the month of Herman‘s river
about “teen tons of provision—salmon:
for ten dsys retlono—to be founded from

with the intention of getting medical aid at
Fort Lnngiey, but died on the pause.
The men are nll Inticipeting a speedy

nerve to get through. The reported die
covcriea of gold in large qnuntities upon the
trail is without inflation—The only pro-
Ipecte found no of fine gold in I“ the dirt

the expense of working.
Quite n number of canoes were at. the
mouth of the Lillooot river, on thoir way
