WOOD RIVER.
4 Contribution to Its Early History, rs
Verified BY the County Records.

The opinion has hitherto prevailed
that very little was known of the
Wood River mines until their alleged
discovery in 1879. This is erroneous,
as the county records show that mines
were worked in certain parts of this
section in the early sixties. Matthew
Williams, of Bellevue, formerly of
Rocky Bar, now holds a deed to 200
feet in the Old Abe mine from n. J.
Mason, recorded in the county records
at Rocky Bar, September, 1865. The
mine is located eight miles due west
from Bellevue, and was the first mine
location ever made i'll this part of Al
turas county. Matt. Williams also
owns the Monday, half mile from
the Old Abe, two miles west of
the head Of Croy's gulch, which was
located October /, 1865; also, the
Harris ledge, on which tunnel 126
feet in length was run in the winter of
1866, when supplies gave out in the
party, and they all returned to Rocky
Bar on hand-sleds. The party was
composed of Ross Smith, Phil. Schultz
and Tom. Ford. J. b. Harris, of
Red Warrior, superintendent at the
time of the Wide West, paid the men
for running the tunnel, and the tun-
mel. although caved in, is yet to be
seen there.
In the fall of 1865, two miles east
of the former locations, was discover
ed the Big Camas mine, which was
located by Matthew Williams and
Bill Spencer. On this location, in
which David Whitmer was located,
the same winter tunnel 12G feet long
was run; and in the spring of 1866
work was continued until October,
when the tunnel, then 274
feet in, reached the ledge,
which was IL feet through and well
defined, though low grade ore. Since
then no work was done until 1879
when Matthew Williams relocated
all in his own name, and has since
kept all the claims represented, and
the present summer work was also
done by three men during five weeks
running the tunnel on the ledge
which is showing up splendidly.
In the fall of 1865, near the Big
Camas mine, was located the Black
Cinder and Buckeye, which have since
been relocated. The Black Cindel
is not far from the Guy mine, or a lit
tie over half mile away. TIL,
party of locators who made the loca
tons in 1865 met with great hard
ships and losses. \ man named
Stevens, who had located on Cana
Prairie in 1864, was caught in thu
snow. and lost all his cattle. In 1856
soldiers were camped on Cama
Prairie, on what is known as Soldie
creek, and in the spring of 1866 tn

have been shipped altogether. The

likely that the whole will average ia
ounces silver and 20 per cent lead.

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1882-01-28
A ROMANCE IN REAL. LIFE.

The following communication,
clipped from the Memphis Avalanche,
has an especial interest for the old
people In and around Milan. Mr..
Edwards lived about one mile from
here when he left on his long trip,
and some Of our older citizens remem.
Der him well as an honest, good man.
The Rev +. w. Edwards spoken Of is
more Familiarity known here as Rev
"Ned" Edwards.
Editor Avalanche-Rev. +. W.
Edwards, a Presbyterian preacher,
and man highly respected, has a
somewhat romantic history connected
with his family.
Forty-three years ago, his father
became embarrassed in his business re-.
lations, and wishing to retrieve his for
tunes, he borrowed some money, he
bought a drove Of hogs aud started
south with them.
Time rolled on, but no tldlngs OF
the missing man. After long and
anxious waiting, he was given up for
dead. His widow married again and
raised a second family of.children. In
the Course of time she was again left a
widow, in which condition she now is.
A few days ago Mr.. Edwards above
mentioned received a letter from his
fathers sister, stating that his father
was alive and well, and living in St.
Charles, Mo. He could scarcely be
lieve it, but he Immediately wrote to
his father, who promptly returned an
answer. On the receipt If this last
letter. Mr.. Edwards at once set out
for st. Charles, where he found his
father "aive and WE'LL" and brought
the old man home with him, where
he now is, at the ripe age of 10.
1t appears that the old man Ed
wards failed to realize anything on
his hogs, and not wishing to face his
creditors empty-handed, wandered
through various sections of the coun>
try, Mexico and Canada, finally find,
ing his way back to those he left long
years ago. A. M. HUGHUs,

The Rhifd District Republicans
N. o, Times Democrat Odd

The quarrel among the Republicans
of the Third District eliminated yes
terday-as we have always predicted
it would do-in complete split, and
in two rival conventions. The Beat
tie men held their little convention
and nominated their candidate unani-
monsly. amid much enthusiasm while
the Kellogg gang, across the way, show
ed similar unaninity and enthusiasm
in placing William Pitt Kellogg in the
field. Having completed this work
for which they met, the rival comven-
tions devoted the remainder of the
evening to abusing each other violent
ly and energetically. After which,
followed the usual ceremony of" drinks
all around" for whisky was free.
With the known political ebstinacy
of Beattie, there is little chance of any
compromise other than kellogg's re-
tirement. The Third District gave the
large Republican majority of 500 in
1880, but large as this is, it will net
suffice to elect two Republicans to Con-
gress. The Third District, we can
safely count, will be Democratic again
in November.

Major A. s. Heron.
IIberville South.l


This genial, whele soltled and talent
ed gentleman received the nomination
for Congress from the Sixth Distric
Congressional Convention, which met
at Baton Rouge on the 18th and 16tf
instant. The convention is to be con.
graduated upon:its choice.
We regard Majsr Heron as person
ally the most popular man in his dis
trict, and have not the slightest fears
of his triumphant election by the peo-
pie next November. That he will
prove the right man in the right place
when he occupies his seat in Congress,
and that the great national work for
the protection of our lands from fur
ther overflow will have in him one of
its strongest supporters, and the work
itself be accelerated and animated by
his elevation to that position, We have
no doubt.
We do not find it necessary to say
mere of the standard bealer of the
Sixth District. His name is as famil-
lar to all throughout the entire length
and breadth of the State as household
words, and it were work of superere-
cation to write of his eminent services
to his State 10 whatever capacity he
was ever called upon to act.
flake Charles Commerciall
The triangular.centest in the Sixth
Congressional District Convention at
Baton Rouge, between Hons. E. w.
Robertson, Charles Parlange and H.
L. Garland, had resulted in a dead
leck between them, which compelled
the nomination of dark horse. Mai.
Andrew S. Heron, of East Baton
Rouge, was. the man. He was unani-
mously elected on the fifty fifth ballot.
Majer Herren's nomination is good
one and on par with that of Mr..
Carleton Hunt, in the First District.
He will be undoHbtedly elected, and
will make competent and able mem
ber of Congress. The Sixth District
was fortunate in this, however, that it
had geod field to select from, and if
either of the candidates had been elect
ed, the nomination. was bound to have
been an excellent one.
