According to the Virginia Enterprise
Of the 9Th, the water in the Savage mine
is still increasing at last accounts yes
terdsy. From Z clock in the morning
| till s o'clock last evening the water rose
ten feet above the 1900-foot level. Where
it can be coming from to have source
30 high is what is puzzling all who know
anything about the situation.
On Sunday morning last, says the Eu.
reka Sentinel Of the 9Th. William Mel
Ion, while in the Tiger saloon. Main
street accidentally shot himself while

incorporate the same and set to work in

control oft will in short time place it
on a paying basis.

train arrived at Golconda, Conductor
Hopkins noticed man aboard the train
He rushed from the train bare.headed
and started for the river, Conductor Hop
kins and brakeman started in pursuit.
An effort was made to get him aboard
the train but failed. He seemed to be
under the impression that some one on
the train sought his life. He was brought
to town and placed in the County Jail,
under Sheriff Nash's care. His name ia
Alfred Larkee, Of Chicago, an no doubt
is insane.
Eureka is enjoying the attention of a
number Of petty thieves. The Sentinel
Of the 9Th says on Saturday night last
the residence of Joe Mendes. on Spring
street, was entered by thieves and a
quantity Of clothing. cigars, pistol, etc..
were taken. The loser offered reward
of $50 for the recovery of the stolen
goods. and on Sunday morning he was
approached by young man who told
him he thought he could get the goods.
but not until after dark. Joe became
suspicious that the young man knew
where the articles were and gave him
notice to return them Immediately
Officers German and johnson then took
the matter in hand and soon succeeded
in persuading him to show where the
stolen property was. 1t seems that the
both were locked up. On Friday night
last the Phoebe Restaurant, Mrs. Welsh
proprietress. was robbed and trunk
taken from the house was found on the
hillside back OF W. B. Harrubs resi-
dence, which had been broken up and
rifled Of $50 in coin, some jewelry and
other valuables.
The Virginia Enterprise of the 9Th
thus chronicles the doings OF the Chinese
warriors of that town: Yesterday after
noon there was more shooting in China
town. Two officers went into that part
OF the city in search Of the men who
chased old Sam Sing into the house Of a
white man on Monday last. While in
the Celestial quarter they say they saw
Hop Sing man with gun through a
fence, and that he presently began firing
this and other guns, second Chinaman
standing behind the first to do the load
ing. The officers. it would seem, did
some shooting; and such Sam Sings and
Hop Sings that happened to be in the
neighborhood blazed away at each other.
Some of the white men also got down
their guns and assisted. After all the
shooting was over it was found that one
man-Gee Wy Fung-was MORALLY
wounded. He crossed TO the north side
of Union street with several bullets whis-
thing after him. On reaching Sam Sings
store Che is Sam Sing man) he turned
and was in the act OF firing pistol at his
enemies on the south side OF the street
when he was shot through the body and
fell. 1t is said that he was shot by Jo-
seph Dsmling. but whether this is the
case We are unable to say. However. as
he has taken hand in most of the fights
that have occurred among his Monaghan
neignbors, 1t is not unlikely. The
bullet that struck Gee Wy Fung entered
his left side at an inch or two from the
spine, breaking rib and passing out
through in front. He was bleeding in
ternally, and his wound was last evening
pronounced mortal. He was very
bright young man. He spoke good En-
glish, and was also able to read and write
