THE EVENING NEWS.

PAINFUL AccIpESr.-O On SATURDAY
evening a man by the name OF Led
die, who has for a long time been a resi-
den, of Gold Hill. paid a visit TO that part
o. Virginia City known as Chinatown.
While there some difficulty arose between
him and the Celestials, when Leddie drew
a pistol. and according to the Chinese
story, made an attempt TO shoot one ofthe
woman. Fortunately, however, one Of
his fingers was over the muzzle Of the pis-
toll when it was discharged. The ball
struck the woman in the breast, but had
no, sufficient force TO break the skin /; and
when an officer arrived at the spot he
found the house covered with blood. and
the woman declaring tina. she was killed.
1t was some time before any clue to the
mystery could be obtained. Finally the
matter was explained, and the officers,
with the assistance OF Mr.. Began, Mar
shal Of Gold Hill. found the man and
took him to the station-house. His finger
was amputated at the joint next TO the
hand, and on Sunday morning he was
handed over TO his friends TO be taken care
OF until the Sd Of November. when he will
have a hearing.
Coon REsuLrs.-We learn from a
friend Just IN from Excelsior that the Ex-
celsior mill made u test upon the ore, with
eight stamps. and in a u OF twelve hours
sixty. ounces of amslgam was taken from
the plates. The amslgam# is worth a little
over So an ounce, and the yield OF the
twelve hours would be about $500.
With the full capacity of the mill, at the
same average, the yield would be $4,000
per day. The Excelsior ledge is among
the best IN the district, and when properly
worked. will give m excellent yield. The
Empire, a short distance west Of the EX-
celsior, and the Wisconsin, 4 few hundred
fee, east of it. are both large and rich
lodges, and will. when developed, prove
equal to the Excelsior's without doubt.
The other claims in the district are yield
ing well in every instance where work is
being done. Excelsior is all right yet
when developed.
