Az EXCITING AFFRAI.-A terrible ana
bloody ARRAY took place in Crown Point
Ravine. this morning, about quarter past
six o'clock, between Frank NJ. Brown and
G. w. Mccullough. in which butcher
knife and hatchet were used. These two
parties together with J. W. Shirley. g.
~ Brown and Thos. Brystt, were occu-
nying house on the side hill south OF
t:rown Poin, street, few rods east Of L.
S. Bowers residence, and had 1t seems
been living quietly together since the i4th
of last March. From all the information
we can gather, it appears that last evening
all the bows with the exception OF McCul-
lcugh were out. and this morning when
they sat down TO the table to breakfast.
the conversation was concerning the time
they returned home. Mccullough claimed
that they did not get home until after
eleven o'clock, while hs Others held that
they returned before. la the course OF the
conversation, Frank Brown made the re-
mark to Mccullough. "you don't take Us
to be such fools as not to know what time
we got home. do you :" The boys all
unite in saying that nothing more exciting
than this was said, and the conversation
was dropped for moment. Brown and
Mccullough were NJ opposite ends OF the
table. The latter unobserved by the others
at the table, took common butcher knife
with blade seven inches long in his hand.
arose, passed around Thos. J. Bryatt and
G. W. Brown, TO the other end OF the
table where Frank was sitting, and before
any one ever suspected him of intending
TO make an ATTACK. stabbed Brown IN the
head. He stabbed him three times, twice
in the top of the head and once in the
shoulder. The first blow went to the
skull and bent up the point OF the knife /
considerably. The second and third blows, /
though they made large ga,hes. were not !
so well aimed a. the first. The action OF !
the first blow and the flying OF the blood
over the table, of course drew the atten-

and himself badly beaten. In the melee |,

Frank, who was stabbed, caught up

No reason can be given for hiS bloody at
tack this morning. unless it be that his
passionate aud uncomfortable temper
prompted him TO make it.
ANOTHER "EuREKA." Parties in Vir-
GINA have just received intelligence that
very rich series Of lodges has recently
been discovered about sixty-hve miles
southeast of Aurora, Esrneralda county.
Yesterday party of proSpecrors started
for the new FL Dorado with untensils and
provisions, and prepared to fully prospect
the mineral resources of the adjacent
country. The more the better, say We,
and il new lodes are only found all over
the bosom of the Silver State, her rich
udders will find plenty of natures works
to receive grateful sustenance.
The Imperial Company cut the east wall
Of the ledge on Wednesday, at distance Of
one hundred and forty feet from the shaft,
and found it pitching at an angle Of about
for,y-Sve degrees. A new level has been
commenced al the depth Of hve hundred and
eighty seven feet or seventy feet below the
present working level. Already a body Of
tne ore has been cut in the drift, and few
weeks labor will doubtless open up hneI
stratum of rich pay ore. San Fran itco
bears can grnwl ad hbituSa. hmt Gold Hill
proper will not fail to furnish regularly in
creasing supplies Of bullion.
