showing the number Of grain and molssses

with their capacities. From this Il appears
that there are 30a grain and six molasses dis.
tilleries IN INC country. IN increase Of 10 Of
the former and . decrease of two of the lat.
ter since last year. The capacity Of tho
grain dlstilleries is now 60,004 bushels and
2l0. .233 gallons per day, decrease of $40
bushels and 81 $50 gallons per day during
the past year; while that Of molasses distil-
lcries has decreased / 1863 gallons of molas-
scs used, and 1,241 gallons of spirits pro-
duced. They use now 1908 gallons of mo:
lasses day, and produce 6,121 gallons of
spirits. The total decrease in the spirit pro-
ducing capacity Of the distilleries of the
country Is As, 12S gallons per day, and the
total production 2l8.354 gallons per day.
The daily consumption of spirits in the Uni.
ted States is estimated at $50, 600 gallons per
day, or 3,646 more than Is produced. This
is partially accounted for BY the imperta-
tion of spirits, and partially by the fact that
there was formerly an over production.

Solid Masses OF Gold.
From the Territorial Enterprise.

In early times in California it was the be-
lief of many miners, that somewhere near
tho heads IF the rich gold producing
streams, immense solid masses of the pre-.
cious metal existed. Large nuggets have
been f0und-some of them weighing over
one hundred pounds--but the masses dream.
ed of by the carly prospector have never
been unearthed. But perhaps We are too
fast. There is rumor that mass of pure
gold, too heavy to he moved, has been
found somewhere in Placer c0nnty, aud is
owned by company OF Chinamen. Its
lestials are quietly cutting it in pieces with
chisels, and disposing OF the fragments at
Auburn, as their necessities require, prcpar.
atozy to loading ship for China with the
monstrous treasure. The Auburn Stars and
Stripes, of the 4th inst. says:
Last Sunday, . Chinaman brought in
and sold to Hubbard & Andrews small
slug Of solid gold, about an inch wide, an
inch and . half long, somewhat thicker
than twenty. y.dollar piece, weighing about
twenty three dollars, which bore evidence
on both ends that it had been chiseled or
chopped with \ dull instrument from solid
mass of the same material For about Is
months different Cinnamon have at irregu.
lar periods brought and sold to the same
firm blocks of gold bearing similar marks,
weighing from forty to two hundred dollars
each. Where they came from is mystery,
but there seems to be pretty fair grounds
for believing that somewhere in this vicini-
ty our celestial friends have found . gold
deposit such - most old miners have dream.
ell Of. but which few have ever seen."
Now, Is not this story enough to craze an
avarlcious man? II one and two hundred
pound nuggets of gold exist In California,
why not masses weighing ten or fifteen tons
why not q hundred tons, for that matter?
The very thought is sweet nlorsel to roll
under the tongue. Were the Chinese en-.
gagged in cutting in pieces this mountain of
gold to be discovered in the act, and asked

one day, fine gold"

Atte,ap pteel Murder at Pilgrim Bar.
JOHN WILLS SHOT BY SAM'L WILSON.

EDITOR New Nonru-WEsr:
Last night ap attempt was made to mur.
der John Wills, formerly night watchman
at Deer Lodge. Tho following are the Cir
cumstances as known at this writing. John
put q head On Saml. Wilson some time since.
It is presumed Wilson had q ycsrning de-
sire to get even with John. So, about
o'clock this morning, ho turned Quito hunt
Wills. and went into two or three cabins in
search ofhis victim. Before finding him,
he came near shooting . young man named
Casey. mistaking him for Wills. but Casey's
life was saved by the fortuitous circum'
stance of his having hair of that heroic color
l--~A =. s.D,s-..,.a., n ~ which he was
distinguished and saved. Wilson then went
to Wills cabin, walked him and told him 1t
was life and death between them, and fired
as Wills sprang from the bed, producing,
however, only slight wound in the hip.
A general scufile ensued; parties arrived at
the scene, and Wilson was arrested. This
morning he had preliminary examination
before Judge N. Smith, and in default OF
bail was committed to the county jail to
await the action of the Territorial Grand
Jury, on the charge of ''assault with intent
to commit murder"
Yours truly, l.
YamAiu, May 20.
Since the above was In type, We learn
from Sheriff Jones that Wilson escaped yes.
terday morning while Constable Barnes was
at break fast, and the prisoner was in care OF
another person. The Constable Is in pur.
suit, and it is thought Wilson will be cap
tured. The Inv is severe on persons assist
ing the escape or harboring prisoner, and
no mistaken sympathy should lead any one
into transgressio1 of the law. Wilson was
severely handled in the scufiic by Wills,
who although disabled in ono arm, got the
best of Wilson, and cut him considerably
on the nose and forehead. Wilson is from
Alder Gulch. His bonds were fixed at $2,-
600, but no one would 60 OH them. No
provocation could justify this attempt at
midnight murder, as We have the circum.
stances, and we trust he will be speedily
captured.
