FROM WICKENBURG.

WICKENBURG, January 29.-Sherif Her bert, of Iayapai county, has levied an at tachment on the Vuture Mining Co $ property and will sell it for taxes next March. Very little excitement was mani fested when the levy was made. All seem to consider their claims against the com pany as dead debts.
 The weather is clear and pleasant. The
 water in the Hassayampa has entirely dis appeared, and the roads throughout this section are dry and travel is again regular. George Monroe, a prOSpectOr, accom- panied by three men with necessary out 1t, left here yesterday for his ledge about thirty miles east of here. He will imme- diateiy ere,.t six arraStrarS. He also found a mineral spring near his ledge It throws out large volume of water The wafer has been subjected to an analysis and is pronounced equal in good quality to any
 known on the Pacific Coast.
 MT. Bradshaw has returned from a pros
 pecting tour. He reports the discovery of
 an immense vein of lead and silver which
 can with little labor, be smeteu into base
 bullion similar 10 that of CerrO GOrdO. A
 project is on foot to tunnel and thoroughly
 mine the whole of Antelope Mountain,
 in which it is believed are many very rich deposits of placer gold.
 The stage drver who arTivel from Ehr- enberg yesterday, reports the finding of rich placer diggingS twelve miles this side of that town. These diggings were once before worked but all trace of gold
 lost in the canyon and hence abandoned until recently when the belt of gravel con- taining gold was again discovered on the
 mesa a short distance from the old dig gingS. The belt is said to be easily traced many miles and is said to be very rich running from 50 cents to several dollars to the pan of dirt.
 On the Fist, thls Wickenburg item was sent to The Miner: Just at dusk last night the body of what is supposed to be Mex ican women was hauled out or the Has sayaInra, just below town. The body does not show any signs of decomposition, but is so diSfiguTed by dashing against rocks and gravel, as to be utterly beyond recog- milton. The body is so disfigured that it is impossible to know whether she was murdered and thrown into the stream or drowned accidentally. An inquest will be held to-day.
 / WICKENBURG, January 30.-T This town was disturbed last night by the attempted assassination of George Bryan, who was encamped with his train almost in the center of the town. The circumstances are these: About one o'clock this morn ing, Bryan was awakened by some one pulling his cover of. Immediately pis- tol was thrust into his face and fired. By some lucky chance the ball struck him in the shoulder, ranging downward but not without inflicting severe injury. Bryan immediately seized his aSsaiIant'S pistol by the guard and hammer and in this po- sitiOn he was dragged about sixty yards, when the assassin called for help and was answered by a man standing in the shade of an adjacent building. He came run ming up and fired several shots in quick succession, two of them taking effect-One in Bry1n's right arm and the other in the left leg above the knee, and fracturing the bone in terrible manner. The assaSsinS then quietly walked off It was bright moonlight and Bryan says he knows one n the and th1t hp HiCfinStlV his face and heard his voice. No name given as yet. The wounded man was carried to Dr. Pierson's house and the assistance of Dr. Jones called to help Dr. PiersOn. At 10 q. m. to-day, Bryan is considered by both physicians to be in critical cOndi- l ton. This is considered to be the most brutal attempt at murder on record in this l place, and creates great excitement. As yet no action towards arrests has been made
