Coop BULLION SHIPMENT. = Yester-
days shipment of bullion from Virginia
were as follows: By Wells, Fargo Il
Co., l6 bars, worth S33,336 81 by the
Pacific Union Express, Ss,237; total,
S4l, 1886 81. Pretty good for one day,
yet it is but little better than the aver
age for the last few weeks. This OF
course includes the product Of the Gold
Hill mines shipped through the vir-
ginia offices. As long as the mines
along the old Comstock continue to
ogive out'' at the rate Of nearly $40, 900
per day, the community is all right.
SrnucH PLENTY OF WArsR.-In the
drift east from the shaft, at the l,lo0-
foot level Of the Crown Point mine, a
very heavy stream Of water was struck
night before last, 200 feet from the
shaft, which increased very rapidly,
calling for all the pumping and bailing
esources of the works to keep it down.
Il had raised, however, by midnight
last night two or three feet above tho
l,l00.f foot station. This new strike
drains the |, oO0-foot level above COM
pletely.
BouSrIFUL.-our markets are ex-
ceedingly well supplied at the present
time with the choicest Of s~easonable
fruits peculiar to this portion Of the
world, from the cocoauuts, %pineapples
and bananas of the tropics, to the lus-
cious peaches, plums and melons Of
California. Our own fruit orchards
and melon patches have not got in first
rate bearing condition just yet, but u
garden vegetables are not to be sur
passed by any others, either in quality
or quantity.
HIS Observation-Disclosures Cain, tho
weighmaster at the Chollar.P otosi
works, wantonly shot DAY before yester-
day by George Hail, is getting along as
well as the severe nature of the wound
will permit Of, and unless e~rysipelas or
other adverse condition supervenes, he
bids fair to eventually recover. Mean
while, his would-be assassin lies in tho
county Jail, aud we learn pretends to be
a little crazy.
IxpERrAL-EMPrRE ACCIDENT. About
10 A. N. day before yesterday, at the
Imperial. Empire, while lowering a tank,

was a violent jerk on the cable, causing
the reel to break. The cable was Sc
cured, and arrangements are now being
made to key the reel to the shaft,
making it more cur than with the
clutch. |, will be all right in q day or
two.
