in White Pine regret to lose them.
TRIED TO SHOOT HERsELF.-Las Sun
day night the quiet of the upper end of
Hamilton street was aroused by the re-
port of a pistol in the house of Miss Ada
Mordaunt. Miss frankie Sharon, avery
intelligent and prepossessing demi monde,
having worked herself up to a high state
of excitement, by the receipt of some
bad news, and having stimulated to an
unusual degree, started out in pursuit of
happiness, and soon broughtup at the resi-
dence of Miss Mordaunt. After arriving
there, and while charging about like one
crazed, she discovered a pistol lying on
the table, which she instantly took up
and presented at her breast, placing it so
close as to set fire to her dress when it
exploded. The ball took effect Just
above the left breast, and lodged some
where in the vicinity of the shoulder
blade. Up to yesterday the ball had not
been extracted, and she was suffering
considerable pain from the effects of the
wound. DR.. Owens is attending her,
and she has had all the attention possible
for her relief. We learned yesterday that
she is considered out of danger, and is
naftln0 olnnU &c x,all 90 kda
of the case will admit.
LEASING MINEs.-We are informed that
some parties have leased a portion of the
South Aurora mine. and active operations
will be carried on this Winter. AS we
suggested last week, this is the best thing
that miners out of employment can find
to do at present. There are a number of
good mines in this district lying idle,
which, by a little effort on the part of
miners, could be secured and madeto pay
we'll. A new smelling company will start
up a furnace here in the Spring, and all
the ore that can be taken out this Win
ter will be needed.
PHILADELPHIA SMELLING CoMPANY.-
After a delay of some ten days, in re-
pairing a leak in the bottom of the fur
mace, the new smelter is putting away
lively and turning out lots of bullion.
We will wait with anxiety a more extend
ed run of this furnace before expressing
an opinion as to its future success, al
though the present indications are 1atter-
ing for its being all that the builder of
the new experiment expects of it. Su-
perintendent Patterson says he is aston
ished at what the furnace has already
accomplished.
The SToRM.-It commenced storminn
last Friday, and has kept it up almos,
continually for a week. The Oldest White
Piners claim they have never before wit.

spell of windy weather. Last Sunday

Thus we glide.
BLOWN DowN.-During the prevalence,
ct the storm on Thursday afternoon, tn,
new and extensive blacksmith and repair
ang shop, in the course of erection or
Hamilton street, for Messrs. Gilmer &
Salisbury, was blown down. The fou,
sides were up, and the builders wer,
waiting for the storm to lull SO that the,

just as well that the roof was not on, TO.
that too might have blown down.

ton of Gov. Bradley, setting. apart mex
