"Gath'' on Joe Johnston,

A few days ago l saw a dignified, striking
face come out of the door of congress-, and
recognized, after a pause, Gen. Joe Johnston,
the eX-member from Virginia, and the great
confederate leader. This man must have
been born in Jefferson's OF Madison's admin
istration, for he was at West Point as early as
1925. He is one of the men who made the
war between the sections respectable to their
p~osterity by observing the law of nations;
and when he surrendered his army Sherman's
respect for him, who had been his constant
antagonist, was such that he gave him terms
the political authorities would not approve.
[ am told that he voluntarily went out of
congress because he thought it was not his
sphere, and that ought to entitle him to a
monument, considering the material which
crowded into that congress with no other
motive, apparently, than to draw the salary.
Here and there you see a gorilla, whose COM
mission itself from the confederate govern
ment is a matter of mystery, assuming to
lead congress and play the blatherskite.

Pulaski, as is well known, was as adroit Il
swOrdsman as he was perfect in horseman-
ship, and he ever rode a powerful and feet
charger. During the retreat of the Ameri-
can army through New Jersey, il the darkest
hour of our national adversely, Pulaski was,
with a small party of horsemen, pursued by a
party of British cavalry, the leader of which
was as good a horseman and mounted nearly
as well as Pulaski. Pulaski rode in the rear
of his detachment, and the British captain
came in advance of those he commanded.
The morning sun was shining brightly, cast
ing oblique shadows, and as the pursued par
ty entered a long narrow lane, Pulaski, hav-
ing satisfied himself ofthe superior speed and
command of his horse over that of his pur-
suer, slackened his pace and kept his horse
to the side of the lane furthest from the sun.
The pursuing officer came up in hot haste,
his sword elevated SO as to make the decis-
i've cut upon Pulaski as soon as he could
reach him. Pulaski rode as though he heard
not the advance upon him yet he kept his
eyes fixed warily upon the ground on the
side of his horse toward the sun on his right.
As soon as he saw the shadow of his pursuer's
horse gain upon HIM, aud found that the
horses head by the shadow had gained about
half the length Of his W horses body, he
gave the sudden sword cut of st. George,
with his powerful arm, and saw the decapi-
tated head of the English officer follow the
stroke. His mathematical eye had measured
the distance by the position of the shadow SO
accurately, and his position giving a long
back reach to his right arm, while the cross
stroke of his pursuer must have been made at
a much shorter distance to have taken effect,
that the pursuing officer lost his head before
he suspected that his proximity was known
or that a blow was meditated. .

M0ntanians at the Mlnes-lSonanza l
-Flatterins Prospects OF she Camp.
A Large sale or Mining Property About
l. 10 Transpire.

Editor Butte MINER:
Since my last letter our camp has improved
very much, in fact it is making rapid strides
to be the leading quartz camp of Idaho. There
is a rumor that the Yankee Fork "Herald"
will move its bed and board to this place.
The most of the lucky ones here are old Mon
~tanians.
Ed. Stricken, formerly of Bear gulch, is the
John Mackay of Gibbonsville. He has al
ready made enough money for one man, be-
sides having the bonanza mine of the camp.
The Bill Edwards lode, owned by S. Butler
& Co., though a mere prospect one year ago,
cannot be bought now for $4,000. The low
er level is in a distance of 400 feet, and for
25O feet shows a body of high grade ore from
2 to 4 feet in width. The upper level is in
25O feet and shows an ore body from Is
inches to 2 feet in width. The ore is not as
good as it is in the lower level.
The Davis Bros, formerly from Henderson
gulch, have tapped their lode at a depth of
$50 feet. The vein is 6 feet in width but
there is a small horse or mule in the lode that
reduces the ore body down to feet.
The Mccarthy lode has always been con-
sidered the best poor mans mine in the camp.
There have been several hundred tons of ore
reduced from this mine at a cost of SIP per
ton-$4 tor hauling and So for crushing. The
lowest return the owner ever got from the
mine or ~arastras was SIG, and that was only
from one lot. All the balance went from 1928
to 1874 per ton.
The Monster, California and Poor Man
mines, owned by Messrs. Foley, Cream u
Duane, have not been worked this winter.
l do not wish to intrude too much on the
space of the MINER or 1 would try and give
a description of the many miues here which
promise well, according to the report made
by Professor Hall, of Salt Lake, who was sent
here by some New York capitalists to exam
inc some mines. He made a favorable re-
port and it is supposed the sale will come of.
The consideration is, l believe, $15O,O00
