from two pans Of dirt. One OF these

a large percentage Of iron. There was.

the ledge matter the cinnabar occurs

TIE TRADE DOLLAR TROUBLES IN Viz
GINA CITY.-The Gold Hill News of last
evening informs US as follows concerning
the wavering fortunes Of the trade dol
lar in Virginia City:
Yesterday and to-day i'll Virginia the
war for and against the trade dollar has
gone on briskly. In great many stores
Of all kinds printed placards announce
that the objectional coin will be taken
for only 80 cents. Some have lost
good many customers and the disputes
are constant The saloons generally
take tho trade dollar at par and some OF
them receive but poor return for their
generosity. In one instance yesterday
man entered beer saloon aud seating
himself. spent the afternoon there, drink
ing eight times alone. For each drink he
presented trade dollar and received
seven bits change. His beer. therefore,
cost him next to nothing. There are
few men mean enough for that sort of
thing, however. The merchants express
a determination to adhere to their
course.

GUN.-Iu the Gold Hill News of last
evening We hove the following:
In Virginia yesterday afternoon about
5 o'clock a ten year old boy, named
Woodruff, shot and seriously wounded
another lad. Young Woodruff. who is
motherless, is alone at his fathers house
near the Catholic Cemetery. good part
of the day, and has borne the reputation
of u good, quiet boy. Yesterday pack
of young hoodlums attacked the lad,
driving him into the house and then sent
a shower of stones into the windows.
Young Woodruff called to them to desist

on, and he took down his fathers shot
gun and blazed away at the crowd. One
OF tho boys. also named Woodruff.
cousin Of the little shooter, got hit by
the shot in the forehead and over one
eve, of which he may lose the sight.
