Moro OF White Pine.

We had the pleasure of a shake hands
this morning with Thomas Cordiell, wei
known to most people at Virginia as
prominent resident and an excellent
man generally-even il he is q Demo
crat. He got back from White Pint
yesterday morning, and as a genera.
thing speaks we'll Of the new Silvsradc
and its prospects, although he does moi
talk Of going back there Immediately
He says things are rather dull there at
present, but are looking up q Little, and
will come out all right next season
without q doubt. He speaks Of Mike
McCluskey, Brier, Jack White and many
other old Gold Killers and Virgininns
as healthy and hopeful and liable to co
we'll Neither Of them have been killed
any as yet, although from the way men
are getting shot, killed aud cut up olt
there the White Pliers do not lack Tor
daily sensations in that line. 1t must
be some like Virginia City was in the
early times-a "man for breakfast"

Last Saturday afternoon, at Haui!-
ton, according to the Inland Empire,
Johnny McGlade, the noted pugilist,
was shot by q young man named John
Leonard, with a Dsringar pistol. The
ball took effect in the abdomen, about
two inches to the right and above the
navel, and McGlsde died from its effects
in about Is minutes. Tho shooting
took place In the Fashion saloon, and
was simply the result Of difficulty &C.
curing some 20 minutes previously, in
which NcGlade knocked Leonard down
twice with q T" billy" such as is m
times used by policemen or f~oot-pads,
INJECTING q very ugly and painful cut OF
bruiss on the left cheek bone, near the
eve, and also another near he fore
head +; outsiders interfering prevented
further Injuries. As 500 as Leonard
had partially recovered he staggered
out Of the saloon, but shortly atterward
returned with a pistol. Meeting Nc
Glade about the center of the saloon, he
approached him, made some remarks
not understood by any Of those who
were present, and instantly fired the ia
tai shot. "McGlade exclaimed, "My
God, I am killed ~ or words to that Of
feet, and moving out towards the from.
door of the saloon, rested upon a friend,
to whom he remarked, "My goose is
cooked !! I am q dead man ~ He was
quickly conveyed to a room over the
Silver Brick saloon, where, Is minutes,
later, he breathed his last. Meantime u
surgeou was summoned, but his services
were of no avail. immediately after
the shooting, Leonard ran down to the
Station-horse and gave himself up TO
Marshal O'Keefe. He has the appear
ance Of being q mere boy, and from all
accounts has heretofore been quiet and
p~eacsably disposed. He formerly lived
in Sacramento, where some of his rela-
tiyes still reside. McGlade was IN
I.ishman by birth, aged about 81 years,
and widely known throughout the Uni
ted States as a prominent member Of

New discoveries of precious mineral
are being daily made. o. Saturday last
Abraham Gould locator Of the Gould
L Curry mine), Bob Tyler aud James
Pearce brought in some samples Of ore

cept a little copper. Spring Valley
