FINE OnE.-We were shown to-day
some specimens Of very fine orc taken
from II point 400 feet south of the t,,n-
mel i'll the Leopard Ledge. The orc
equals in richness that which has here
toforc been obtained. This fine body
lies npon the west wall and is RAPIDLY
increasing i'll width ns the work Of cx-
p!oratior advances. The drift upon
this portion Of the vein is now in 10 or
II feet and tie prospect Of a continu-
GUS supply from this source of first
class ore in quantity was never more
ilGtterinS than at present. The. hoist
ing machinery at the mouth of the
shaft works admirably and the work Of
sinking goes steadily forward.
ATTEMPTED SUIcIpH.-At Il late hour
on TueedGy night, says fhe Salt Lake
Tribune of yesterday, DR.. Hammond was
summoned to the EOuse Of Hat. Doug
las who lives west Of the Richards
House, to save two persons from death
by suicide. Ono OF the girls, il seems,
got OH q grand spree with Il Wyoming
man, who ain here recently. They
had concluded to wind up their drunk
Ill n shOckingly romantic manner by
taking poison, which, however, did not
effect the girl seriously, hut nearly
proved fatal to her Wyoming fellow.
DIR. Hammond worked on him with n
s'omach-pump until yesterday morning,
when he was removed to tho Walker
House, md now lies there in u critical
condition.
