A MINER SHor AT vraGIsrA-DoMEs-

TIC JEALOUSY Tue CAusE.-About q
o'clock this morning a miner named
Thomas Williams was shot on South Z
street, Virginia, by Daniel O'Neil, an
other miner, uuder the following cir
cumstances, as near as we can learn {:
II ppear that for some time past
O'Neii, who resided with his wife aud
children ir n little house \ short dis
lance back Of the old Granite mill, at
Gold Hill, has seen cause to be jealous
of Williams on account of real or sus
pected improper intimacy with his
iO'Neil's) wife, and we are informed
that he has taken occasion to order
Williams away from his house several
times of late, even last evening having
some little difficulty with him on the sub
ject. Williams was workingiu the lmpe-
rial mine, and boarding atthe old Chaplin
House on South C street, Virginia, nearly
opposite the st. Louis Brewery. About
6 o'clock this morning, after breakfast,
Williams took his dinner pail aud started
out for Gold Hill to his regular daily
work. O'Neil aud his wife had some
little business in Court ut Virginia, and
wanted Williams as a witness. They
were there and followed Williams,
or at any rate met or overlook
him on the sidewalk, and ut the iron
ward, Just south of Prader's hardware
store, nearly opposite the Savage works,
they were all within a few feet OF each
other, when Williams passed between
O'Neil and his wife, and 0'Neil sud-
denly drew a pistol from his pocket and
shot him in the back. The ball entered
his body near the middle Of his back,
passing an inch to the left Of the spine,
inflicting n very serious, and perhaps
fatal wound. Williams cried ont that
he was shot, dropped his dinner
pail, and it is said struck at O'Neil
with his fist. 0'Neil left in a hurry
toward Gold Hill, but was overtaken
by q policeman neal the Ch~ollar-Potosi
dump, arrested and taken to Jail. Will
liams, accompanied by Mrs. O'Neil,
walked back into town as far as Dr..
Green's Office, and afterwards walked
to his boarding house, where he now
lies. DR.. Green probed the wound but
did not find the ball. OF the merits Of
the case we have nothing to say ; we
merely give the circumstances as we
heard them. All the points in the case
will be doubtless brought out on exam
inatiou, until which time it will be
better for everybody to defer their opin-
ions. II looks like q bad case certainly
at present.
AFTER THE DoGs.-In these days when
the dog law is in force, and tagless ca
mines arc being unrelentingly impound-
ed to death, it behooyes everybody 10
look out for their dogs. Like the Dem
ocratic party, the poor devils can't read,
therefore don't know about this law
against their liberty to run about loose.
Thus they get arrested by officers, little
bows with lassos, loafers and other
piece MAKERS" and before they know
what il means they find themselves in
durance vile, among all sorts of ours OF
high and low degree. Ex-Alderman
Livermore, of Virginia, author OF the
famous Horn,own dog ordinance, this
morning at Boegle's Postofice News
Depo. showed us a picture in a German
illustrated newspaper, representing the
way they catch dogs in the streets OF
Brussels, Livermore's ordinance hay-
ing but recently been adopted in that
old European city. About a dozen ON
cials, headed by Emperor Napoleon, or
somebody that looks just like him, each
one armed with II huge dip net on the
end Of a big pole, are Justify rushing
down street in pursuit Of a shaggy little
poodle, who, poor fellow, with his Ears
set back and his tongue trailing out, IS
putting in his best ticks 10 get out OF
their way. Jus. behind is a t%wo-horse
crockery crate on wheels, filled with
captive dogs, looking out between the
cross-bars Of their prison like I'd. d..s'
in the statiou-house next morning after
being found asleep on the sidewalk.
The ex-Alderman recommends the adop-
ton Of the same plan as portrayed IN
this picture, by the officials Of Gold Hill
and Virginia. He thinks they would
find this dip-net and crockery crate mr.
rangement very effectual about now.
THAT PAY SrREAK.-The streak OF
good pay ore found the other day in the
old 100000. level Of the Imperial mine,
proves to be more extensive than was at
first reported. II is five feet wide, n
growing wider as it is sunk upon. IL
was discovered in cutting out for q set
of timbsrs, ut the end Of the old east
drift from the shaft, where the winze IS
being commenced to connect with the
900. foot level from the lmperial-Empire
shaft. The wiuze will follow this body
of good milling ore down, and perhaps
IL NAV be found to extend down to the
9OO.foot level. Although not very rieh'
i, is good average ore, and very encour-
aging to meet with at that particular
point, The west wall Of the ledge IS
not very particularly defined, and there
is q fine chance yet for the two west
drifts at the 90O-foot level to run into
an extensive body Of good ore.
Coon PLACE TO BoARD.-We refer to
the Russell House, opposite the Yellow
Jacket Co.'s office, Main street, Gold
Hill. The table is always well supplied
with the. choicest Of eating and plenty
of il, while at the bar are some OF the
best qualities Of spiritual refreshments:
Clean, comfortable beds aud general
cleanliness and order characterize the
establishment. Call and try it.
ASSAY OrrrcEs.-Everybody at home
or abroad, knows just where those two
popular Gold Hill assay offices, Ruhlins
/ Co.'S and wiegand 4 Co.'s, are to DC
found, therefore it would be obviously
useless for us to state that they are Doll
ON Main street, Gold Hill, and both wei
prepsred to do any business in theii
line with the greatest promptness ana
dispatch.
THE ALPHA.-No,hiug has been done,
US yet, toward the Development OF any
rich bodies of pay ore at the lower level,
operations being principally confined
10 cleaning out the old drifts mi open
ing new ones. We hope to be able &c
report some good findings OF ore IN the
upper workings o
