it is barely possible that one Of the Johns

the most diligent search failed to reveal
ANYTHING which would even cast suspi-

/ Mr.. Bourne had ont most of our detect
| i've officers yesterday, endeayoring TO
look up the case. He appeared greatly
ANNOYED on account of the mishap and
was very active during the day. The
/ cost of check would not have exceeded
/ six or seven dollars. Bourne is general
/ " reputed to be we'll enough fixed to
have stood that little tax. As he thought
I proper 10 take his own risk, sympathiz-

would doubtless have been under differ

We collate from our files and other
sources the total bullion shipment for
August 1t will be seen that the figures

Pritchard could well handle such an i'm
mense amount OF freight. Following are

CoNrPANrFs POUNDS.
Eureka Consolidated Company. ......... s6o,5s
Ruby Con. Company .....................i4 O.5s9
X. h. Con, Company ..............,.,....l 5O,uoo
Grand Total ,592
No place in the United States, and
perhaps none in the civilized world, can
equal the above figures. What Eureka
is capable of doing, and is doing, we al
low her bullion shipments to tell. 1t is
l, hot he of
the district are looking better than ever
before. and that our facilities for pro6uc-
ing bullion are being constantly in
creased

ATTEMPTED SU1crpE.-Night before last
Mrs Van Valkenberg, of Gold Hill, at
tempted to commit suicide by taking
strychnine, as is supposed. She occupies
a room over Justice Wright 5 courtroom,
and in the night, about II clock, lady
who occupies an adjoining room, heard
Mrs Van Valkenberg's child crying very
bitterly. She arose and went to the door
# the room and found it locked. After
knocking and calling repeatedly without
obtaining any response, the lady became
alarmed and went i'll search Of assistance
Constable Harkin and Deputy Rodgers
came and broke in the door, when Mrs.
, Van Nulkenberg was found lyiny upon
the bed in speechless and apparently
unconscious condition, from which il
= was found impossible to arouse her. She
/ stared wildly about her, but did not ap-
pear TO Know those present or to under
t. stand what was going on. Suspecting
that she had taken dose Of some kind
: Of poison the officers speedily summoned
q to her side Drs. Kirby and Manson, who
administered such antidotes as they con-
sidered proper and who remained and
worked over her all night Yesterday
: forenoon she was considered out of
danger. The physicians are of the
opinion that the poison taken by
her was strychnine They think
that being fearful of taking an over
/ dose she took too small a quantity of
{ the deadly drug to quickly end her life.
Her husband, a telegraph operator, de-
) serted her about three months since, and
, this, with other troubles, is supposed to
have been the cause of her making the
attempt at self-destructiOn.
RAN.-About l O'Clock this morning
, it set in raining in steady, old-fash-
, Toned style which seemed to mean bust
ness. This was unlocked for, as in the
early part Of the evening there was no
indication OF coming shower.

Ida VALLEY.--A correspondent writ
/, ing from Ida Valley says: 81 am
pleased to say that our prospects for q
lively camp are better than at any time
|. since the discovery Of the district We
have been greatly disappointed by Messrs
Taylor Il Frost, to whom we look for the
speedy introduction of mill from
which mine owners and lessees could
rely on obtaining correct returns for
their ore; add to this the disappointment,
, resulting from the shutting down of the
Ida Mill since the oath of June, and
you have the cause OF the extremely dull
times which have prevailed for some
: time III this section. The stopping OF
the Ida Mill was in consequence of the
, failure of Messrs. Parker, Watson 4 Co
who were the owners of three-eighths o,
the property. The trouble has been set
' tied as to the mill, which is now running
, under the management of the Trustees
Agent overlooked by Receiver. Conf
dence, which was heretofore wanting un
der the old regime, is now full and com
plete. We are having ore worked anC
getting good returns and the mill will b,
kept running to its utmost capacity.
The recently organized district OF Sill
S vania, ten miles southwest of Ida
$ promises to rank among the bullion pro
4. ducing districts of Eastern Nevada, an,
some very favorable looking lodges hav
S been discovered within the last tw,
g weeks about midway between this plac
and Palmetto. In short, the prospects O
Ida Valley were never so fattering O.
: they appear at present.
0 On the 10th inst. the annual electio,

virtue of being owners in mines.
