From the Silver Belt 1

From the Silver Belt.
 D. Larre has found copper ore, some of which he showed us, about two lniles from the Bloody Tanks. It is a rich red oxide. It is on the same belt, we should judge, with the New York and Chicago, owned by the Old Dominion Go.
 The Red Robin is at last, pro. ducing rich ore. It is on the same vein as the Julius, and the ore is of the same character. It carries some copper. The charac. ter of the ore is chloride, and the seams are covered with thick flakes of green horn silver. It is in quartzite, and is owned by MT. Badly, and of the richness of which we made mention a few issues ago, is producing richer ore than ever. Sheets of horn sill yer have been shown us that were a quarter of an inch thick.
 Developments are still going forward on tho Petaluma, and the owners, Vail and Pascoe, arc well pleased with the showing.
 The Belgium prospect is giving the certainly of passing into the condition of a mine. The owners Salter and Lieurance, have sunk a shaft twenty feet, and are now cross-cutting the ledge. There are in eight feet, and have a solid ore body. The ore is copper, and is very compact and hard.

 The Czar is reported as being completely broken down. Cor, respondents who have visited G!tschina, recently say il spi ia ble to see what a wreck this man of herculean frame has become since his fathers murder. 1t was thought at first that he would defy the Nihilists, and when he appeared once OF twice at reviews and public ceremonies. his brave and manly herring elicited hearty applause from the people, but since he issued his proclamation of autocracy, and called in Igna- tieff, Alexander III. has almost with drawn from public vIeW. Ii is not grief for his father, but sheer terror. The shock of the assassination completely prostratl ed the Czarina, and her nervous ness has affected the Czar. His palace at Gatschina is a perfect arsenal. Cordons of trusty Cos sacks surrounded the whole disI trict and the palace itself is guard ed night and day by police and picked officers of the line, The Car lives in state Of siege.

A Thirteen Year Old Boy Accfden.
tally Shoots HIS Mother.
Mrs. Louisa Duffy, of Wilmington,
Del, while on visit to her mother
Mrs Frederick Bridenstein, was ac>
cidentally shot to-day, "a few minutes
before noon, by her son Willie, lad
Of thirteen years. Upon hearing the
sad intelligence a News reporter
hastened to the spot.
Upon reaching the residence of
Mr.. Bridenstein, at lao Giles street,
we saw the PROSTATE form Of Mrs
Duffy lying on her left side on the
kitchen floor, the back of the head,
where the shot took effect, was terri.
bly, mangled while stream of blood
was issuing from the wound and had
already covered large portion of the
floor; the body laid where it had fal.
len and near the table where she
had been preparing dinner.
Lewis Bridenstein stated that he came
IN the house about five minutes OF
twelve; had just laid down when he
heard the report of the gun; heard some-
thing fall over; did not think there was
a charge in the gun. She and Willie
we're the only ones In the room at the
time. Upon going into the room TO see
what had fallen they realized the awful,
terrible truth.
Willie, they said, thought that the gun
was not loaded aud that there was nc
cap on it. Willie and Annie, the only
children, the latter aged seven years,
had been taken over TO Mr.. Joseph
Earnest's, who had telegraphed TO the
father and bereaved husband, letter
carrier at Wilmington, DEL, the terri
BILE intelligence. Willie told the Ne,os
representative that the gun was lying in
the corner of the room, he took II and
did not point it at his mother but up.
ward, and does not know but thinks
both barrels went off. The deceased
came on Monday last to visit her home
and inJended staying four weeks.
The children are both bright and
intelligent looking and do not seem to
realize the terrible Afiiiction which has
befallen them.
