u Peruvian named Pinto was instantly
killed, at a house on North C street, vir.
ginia, Just north Of Music Hall. The fol.
lowing is q brief statement of facts: The
deceased had been a lover of a Peruvian
woman named Manuela Mesa, who had
been lately giving certain little favors to
another Peruvian named Jose Ventura
Castro, whereat the deceased became jeal-
Gus, and the morning previous to his
death had had a fight with the woman, in
which she beat and cut his head with a
Ratchet. Later. about s o'clock in the
evening. while Jose and the woman were
locked in q room together, Pinto, the de-
ceased, came and demanded admittance,
which was denied by the parties on the
inside. Pinto threatened to shoot through
the window, and was told by the woman
to blaze away. A few minutes later the
door was opened, when some hard words
passed between the deceased and Jose,
whereupon the latter drew a pistol and
shot Pinto, killing him instantly. We

evening the woman was arrested and
lodged in the station-house, charged with
having killed Pinto /; at that time no other
wounds than those Of a Ratchet being
descernable. The woman stoutly declar-
her innocence, and an examination Of the
body, yesterday morning, by Coroner
DR.. J.. C.. Tucker, elected the fact that

pistol ball, which entered the inner corner
of the left eye. penetrating nearly to the
base of the brain. and Of course producing

the shot was fred, took to the hills and
has not yet been arrested, although vigilant
search has been made by the police OF the
city. The circumstances of the killing so
completely %corroborate the woman's story
and the flight of Jose is such additional
proof of his guilt. that the woman will
probably be acquitted when a judicial in
~ves,igation shall be had. The entrance #

came near escaping the close examination
OF Drs. Bronson and Tucker. who, even
after probing, had doubts as TO any wound
being inflicted. until portions Of broken

RE-woRxrNo.-Gold Hill proper Is be-
ing re-worked, on the surface and in the
upper levels. Several parties are constant
ly engaged at present taking out rock
from near the surface Of O number Of the
mines. In some cases it has been found
to pay exceedingly well. We learn from
Mr.. Stevenson that q quantity from the
surface and upper levels of the Plato mine
recently worked at his mill yielded at the
rate Of nearly 800 per ton. This top
rock we also learn can be obtained in quite
large quantities, numerous pillars OF 1t
having been left in the upper diggings
when they were worked in early times,
when miners did not so well understand
how TO get out all the ore as they do now.
A few years ago, when mining was COM
nenced in the hill and when mills were
scarce, search was made more for rich
deposits than for large bodies of ore.
There are probably ores worth hundreds
Of thousands of dollars within 200 feet Of
the surface Of Gold Hill, which might
have been taken out with great profit
when the upper levels were in good con-
dition. and without doubt a great part OF
it could now be pro6sably extracted.
