AspHIy1ArEp.-Abop, M o,clock

last April never has been eItinguisbed,
but still shoulders in the upper portion
Of the mine, above the 70o-foot level,
where in prospecting explorations it is
occasionally encountered and the min
ers quite frequently meet with the foul
gas generated by il. BY fresh air being
forced down there from the surface, the
miners have been enabled to penetrate
even up to the COO foot level, but
tho main ore supply is from below the
700. Anxious, however, to increase
this supply, however, if possible, they
have been working upward by degrees,
and this morning about a dozen OF them
were breasiug out ore in n stope between
the two levels mentioned, when the air
became bad, the surface blast having
been discontinued. They should have
retired but they did not, and parties
sen, to see what was the matter, fouGd
them all in various stages Of asphyI-
ia,ion from a strong influx of gas from
above. a force of men from other
parts Of the mine were Immediately de-
tailed to their rescue, and they were
soon all brought 10 the surface, two or
three Of them were insensjble and others
were somewhat delirious. DR.. Xabriskie
attended the sickest cues, and they were
all right again in the course Of two or
three hours. The miners arc DESTROYS
of getting out oil the ore possible, but
i, will not do to be too venturssome
Snow DEsInABLE.-Thus far We have
had almost no winter at all, and really
O few feet Of snow would be n beneficial
arrangement Snow, particularly in e
partially melted state, is diSngreeable to
many, and ice is good to skate on, or to
use in whisky punches or sherry cob
blers in the summer time, but 1t IS an
unreliable material for paysments or
sidewalks. without our regular sea-
sonabls and reasonable supply Of snow
and ice and bad weather here in the
winter time, Washos would not be
qui,e such q healthy country to live in.
What little farming lands we have, re-
quire the proper moisture, and so does
our universal sagebrush. There is more
really good pasturage among our bar
rem looking hills than people arc gener-
ally aware of, but i. depends on the
wintry storms to keep il good. Then,
too, We especially must recollect that
without our regular and rain sea-
son, all springs and water supplies about
here would be cut or, and in conse-
Guence all our mills and hosting works
would have to stop, and the population
itself would have TO ~eyacuate the prem
isss-Yamose to q more moist locality.
Water has been so scarce even the pres
ent season a. Virginia that they could
not afford to sprinkle the streets prop
erly. Give us plenty Of snow, every
time. The good weather of summer is
only truly appreciated by having some
bad to compare it with.
DEspgsATE AFrRaY.-About 8 o'clock
last evening a beating and cutting scrape
occurred at a boarding house on Main
street, at the upper end Of Gold Hill.
As related TO us, the circumstances
were as follows: Martin Mahan, pro-
prietor Of the house, and Mrs. DaignHn,
who keeps il, were having q bit Of a
quarrel together about rent, when he
used language which induced her to bat
him over the Uranium with u bit of
stove wood. Then. he snstched her by
the hair Of her head, jerke3 her down
and commenced pounding her. Man.
aging to regain her footing, she grabbed
n carving knife and started in to cut
him, regardless rs to where she hit,
slnshing away most desperately. He
raised his left hand in order to iena Oft
o fierce slash at his throttle valTe, and
caugh. it With full force across tbs
palm, cutting it TO the bone and sever
ing all the tendons, arteries, etc. This
ended the muss, and he, bleeding CO.
piously from the cash, went immediately
10 DR.. Halls Office, where the Doctor
properly Sewed up and dressed the
wound. Mrs. Daiguan was arrested,
but released on her recognizance.
Her examination takes place this after
noon before Justice Cook.
