VIRGINIA, June IAN upraise is being
made from the north drift on the 1900 of
the Union, at a point 80 to 40 feet from the
B0urfrffTe Of the Sierra Nevads. " has
encountered the continuation Of the de-
posit of ore found on the $500 level. They
have passed through some Is feet of
quartz, and lave five or six feet of milling
ore, and are not yet through the deposit.
1t appears to widen and grow stronger to
the northward. 1t is thought the deposit
will reach into the Sierra Nevada. They
will extract over 900 tons Of ore this week.
At the Mexican the winze is sum- IL feet
east of the ore body found on the 2700
level, and is cutting some stringers of ore.
1t is found that this deposit is turning
downward. and may yet pitch west. This
is considered a good indication. West
crosscut No. 2 or this level is still cutting
streaks of ore, and the same is the case in
the west crosscut on the 2900 level.
Tho south drift on the 1900 of the Union
is finding streaks of low grade quartz, and
the appearance of the vein everywhere on
the 1900 is equal in every respect to that
seen about the big bonanza in the Califor-
mia and Con. Virginia.
About Thursday Union will make q final
shipment for the month.
The northwest drift on the 1900 of the
Gould & Curry has passed through a belt
of ground containing much quartz, and
giving low assays.
Suicide Of Charles j. CONNER.
SAN Francisco, June 7.-Charles J.
CONNER, Receiving Teller of the Bank of
California, committed suicide this morn
ing at his residence, No. 1874 Suffer street,
by shooting himself through the head.
He came down to breakfast at the usual
hour, but returned to his ROOM, and about
10 o'clock was found dead on the floor
with a pistol near his hand. No report
was heard by the inmates of the house.
The report on the street is to the effect that
he has been under surveillance by the bank
authorities on suspicion of crookedness in
say that the affair is a complete surprise to
them; that he had always enjoyed the full
confidence of his employers, and that his
accounts are perfectly straight. They &C.
count for his act on the ground that some
time ago he came into possession of a
considerable amoun Of money, which he
had lost in stocks, and that his losses had
unsettled his mind. The officers of the
bank had noticed nothing peculiar in his
behavior, but his associates in the bank
say that he had appeared for some weeks
past to be laboring under a depression of
spirits, for which he refused to assign any
cause. Deceased was we'll come ted, be-
ing a brother-in-law of Adam Grant, of
Murphy, Grant & Co., and of General
Morrow, the we'll known stock broker. He
was 81 years of age.
The BOdie Mines.
BoD1E, June THE water rose in the
Standard, while the shaft was being retim-
bered, to the hight of 800 feet. 1t has
now been lowered to the 1000 level. Dur
ing the week 96S tons of ore were extracted
and shipped to the mills. Both mills are
running to full capacity.
Bodie crushed 40 tons, of the average
assay value of SGT; shipped S11 1854. Wine
II is down IS feet. The vein looks well in
the bottom. The north drift on the 1850
level is in sos feet, with the ledge stronger
and of better quality, and is supplying the
mill with ore. The west crosscut from
this drift is "a feet long.
The Lent shaft is down 945 feet.
The MONDAY and North MONDAY drift,
which is partly in footwall and partly in
quartz next to it, is - feet long.
The drift will be extended some distance,
and crosscuts run at various points. The
indications are favorable that the rich ore
rs feet above will be found to have
extended down.
Boston Con. has commenced crosscut-
ting east at the 500, with a good prospect
of cutting the south extension OF the Noon.

The Red Cloud shaft has resumed sink.
Ing, and is now down 1856 feet.
