The Monterey Silver nIIner.

The Alisal silver mine, which has been cursorily,
noticed some weeks ago in the Pacifc Nea0S, is
situated on the ranch bearing the same name, on
the edge of the plains of the Salinas about 100
feet above the level of the valley. The distance
from Monterey is abont 30 miles, by good road
and through fine couEtry watered by the Sail
nos river. 1t is, you will perceive, most tavora-
bly, situated indeed, the most so ia California
from it's proximity to the sea, and an abundance
of wood and water which it commands The ore
taken from this mine is of silver combined with
lead, anthony and sulphur. l may here state
that this mine was discovered some twenty years
past by an old and experienced Mexican miner,
who died in Mexico, when preparing TO return to
California with number Of Sonorian Indians 20
work it. Since then it has not been worked al.
though at different times subsequently rich ore
of silver has been extracted therefrom. The ore
is very easily worked and the metal can be ex
tracted by fire not requiring the use OF quicksilver
The mine as you are probably aware, is no "
being worked by company from San Francisco,
who have a number of men employed at remuner
alive wages; and we may thus look forward TO its
soon producing a most favorable effect on the bu-
ness Of our little city, Cor Pacific News.

A NEW STEAMER ON CHAGREs RIVER.
We are delighted to learn that a new and COM
modious steamer, called the "Wm. II. Aspin-
wall" has been placed on the ChRgres river, in
tending to run between Chagres and Gorgona.
Her first trip was made to Gorgona last Thursday,
and was highly successful. Gentlemen who came
I'D in her speak of the comforts of the trip in the
most flattering terms.
Another steamer is being built at Navy Bay,
and will very speedily be launched She, also, 10
intended to be placed on the river to form daily
line with the Aspinwal
THE GOLD HUNTERs-We are informed by a
gentleman who has just returned from Buena-
Ventura mines, forty miles distant, that large
amountsof gold are procured there daily. About
three hundred and fifty persons, principally
Frenchmen are now engaged in working the
mines, and additions to that number are being
made by the Indians or natives living in the dis
trict. He states that the average yield is from
tco TO three ounces per day, and some OF the party
who accompanied him, realised extraordinary
profits from the small stock of provisions which
they took with them 1t is the intention OF our
informant to send lot of provisions there as soon
as possible; as the miners are obliged to pay
enormously for every article of living, and, in
some instances, he has seen an ounce OF gold
given for cup of coffee and q slice of bread aud
ham Sixteen dollars for a breakfast That
beats California.

We learn from Mr.. Reed, friend now in this

the players for some triAe, which was resented by
another man who was standing by and who struck
Bowen with his fist b. drew a pistol but was
prevented by the other parties from using it, aud
they soon made friends all round and dispersed.
On the next morning, as the deceased was walk
ing out, he met B. who asked him if he was going
to fight him, upon which the other replied that he
was not armed, and that be thought the whole
affair had been made up the night before. Scarce
ly giving him time to finish the reply, Bowen
drew a revolver and fired several times at the
other, the third shot striking him in the brain,
causing his death in few minutes. The friends
of the man who was shot, hearing what was going
on rushed out of their houses, and seizing Bowen,
dragged him by main force to a corral, where they
hung him with ariat to meat galows, causing
him to breathe his last almost simultaneously
with the man he had shot.

1t would be vain in me to attempt description
of the excitement which has prevailed here for
the two preceding days, caused by the announce
ment of the discovery OF q rich gold nine IN the
vicinity of "PachecO's," county of Monterey.
The facts which led to the discovery are as fol
lows; Ii appears that some six days ago a Mexl-
can who had been sojourning for some weeks in
the Mission Of San Juan de Baptists, started from
thence on his way to the "mines," but when ad-
acent to the mountains, near the rancho OF Pa
checo, it struck him, from his past experience as
a miner that the clay, or as it is better known by
the term of dirt, closely resembled that of the
placers He accordingly halted and commenced
TO prospect" when in the space OF an hour he
extracted something about ticO ounces Of pure
g0tdl The lucky kom6re, after stalking out a
claim returned once more 10 San juan for his
muJey, and to purchase provisions The facts
soon got wind and a rush took place among the
mission inhabitants that would almost rival yonr

the gnoble bul7Os were pressed into service, and

should perhaps except two small fires. The
proof against them is sufficient and their
conviction is certain; and it is more than
probable that they will plead guilty. Some
instances have been arson in the first degree,
which is punishable by death. The most
remarkable feature in the whole transaction
is the utter want of motive to prompt to
such enormity The very men who put the
torch to the buildings, worked the hardest
at the fire. The only reason assigned by
the guilty parties is that they wanted
little fun and irolic, and that they went or
undetected until they acquired a sort o
mania for such excitement as the French
do for suicide"
