Acid spiashed In His Face, Which
He Was About to Drink.

Milton Burns, a well known wanna
mulatto. who has been In the employ
of the Hub Clothing House for yes rs
as porter. attempted to take his own
life last night at about e:an c'cloek.
In the presence Of his wife, at their
hnme on Railroad avenue near Main
street,
Burns had been seen drinking about
Town during the day and returned
aeeeir Hls vic tfter-ru .run--rs.susfs
but OF no avail, and he remarked thar
he might as well end II all, wheFe'
upon he frantically grabbed q hottie
of carbolic acid and had already swal-
lowed q part OF the contents when
his wife, seeing what he was about
to do, seized his hand and the a"ia
was accidentally dashed on his face
and hands.
Mrs. Burns Immediately called to
the neighbors and two phSs'c'"ns
were despatched to the scene.
II was said this morning that
Burns had premeditated the suicide'
and that he had written note. which
was found in the family Bible. How
ever. this could not be verified.
His employers were surprised 'h's
morning when they heard OF ih" az
fair, and were at loss to know what
It was that had driven the young
man to attempt his own life.
Late this afternoon II was learned
that the quantity Of acid which the
man had swallowed would not leave
any serious effects. but his face ana
ewes were burned so severely that it
Is doubtful II he will recover ms

Details OF the salo OF the Great Western
group of claims In the Round Mountain
district to a. D. Nash, Humboldt Gates
and Orson Smith OF the Sphinx are now
at hand, The consideration is understood
to have been 200 in cash and 10000
shares OF stock In tho new company. ana
by many the price Is considered cheap
The property consists of fVo claims To-
Gated between tho Round Mountain
Sphinx and tho Sunnysido claim OF the
Round Mountain Mining company ana
tho indications are that the properties
are trayersed by the main ore bodies OF
both these properties. An incline smart
sunk on ono Of the claims to a depth or
seventy-nye feet Is said to have given
excellent results, and on the strength or
erS have announced their intention OF
commencing tho work Of developing at
once. Arrangements for surface explora-
tlons OF the most thorough kind nave
been made, and no time Will be lost In
putting these into execution. The new
company Will be one OF the strongest In
the camp, and the personnel OF those IN
terestcd is said almost to be guarantee
OF results as far as a thorough working
OF the property goes.
This Is only one OF the many now COM
panies operating in the Round Mountain
district, and the significant fact Is tina,
practically all of them are doing well. At
that the riches of the section have been
no more than touched upon, and from
present indications IL Is not unlikely that
Round Mountain will develop into camp
rivaling In size and Importance anything
