CHINESE MURDER AND FUSERAL.-
A Chinawoman was murdered last
Thursday night at Carson, in the celes-
tial quarter of that town. The Car
son Appeal gives the following parti-
culars: 1t seems that a party of celes-
tials got into some sort Of a quarrel
and that pistols were drawn; and
that when one Of them first babtised
the party with fire, he made a wild,
unintentional shot which took effect
at the base Of the brain Of the unfor-
funate woman aforesaid, striking the
back Of the head and tearing of the
skull In n most shocking manner. The
Coroner's Jury found that the deceased
was named All Cum, was a native Of
China, aged thirty-two years. that she
came to her death from the effects Of n
pistol shot fired from a pistol in the
hands Of one All Lin, a Chinaman, and
such killing vas f~eloniously done by
said All Lin. The murderer Is a we'll
known character among the Chinese
sporting fraternity. He made his eS-
cape, but the officers have taken active
measures to secure his arrest. His vic
tim was buried on Saturday with the
usual ceremonies attendant upon such
occasions. The bereaved husband sat
upon the front seat Of an express
wagon which contained the coffin and
distributed yellow JOSS papers as the
celestial cortege wendell its way
toward the final resting place Of the
lamented defunct. There were sew
eral carriages In the procession; and
from these the inmates scattered their
tokens Of grief, while In them they
carried the roasted hogs, poultry and
jugs of celestial beverage which are
the sacrilcial offerings peculiar to such
occasions.
Our MINERAL REsoURcEs.-The re-
sources Of our young and thriving
State of Nevada, In the way Of silver,
gold, lead, iron, copper, salt, soda,
borax and all that sort Of thing.
hardly begin to be known as yet. At
the seat OF Government, however. they
have found that our mineral deposits
are not all silver. The Commissioner
Of the General Land Office Is In the
receipt Of potash salts from Churchill
county, Nevada. As these extensive
deposits continue to exercise consider
able influence upon chemical industry,
says the Carson Appeal, we call the
attention of the public to this import
ant new source Of u mineral wealth.
Not only do they furnish now the very
purest potash, but the lye resulting
therefrom has also become available
for bromine, the price OF which since
1865 has fallen to one-fourth Of its
former value. The bromine has
scarcely been of any use heretofore.
but since the discovery Of the potash
deposits in Straasfurt and in Nevada,
1t has become Of daily growing import
ance.
