twice in my life," said Aunt Fanny Bar

was in New Haven, twenty-five years
ago, just after the close of the war. 1
was visiting my friend Mrs. Donald G.
Mitchell, who then lived at New Haven.
One afternoon she began to tell me Of
the rayages committed by General Sher-
mans army on her fathers plantation
in South Carolina, and the story was so
sad that we both shed bitter tears. That
evening went to large party. Tho
first thing | saw on entering the room
was tall man in military dress sur

gentlemen. Who's that?' / asked.
Somebody replied, General Sherman

General Sherman was terribly

Yourself he said. These things arc
horrible bnt they are the fortune of
war. Calm Yourself was not there,
or should have stopped it.
Then" continued Aunt Fanny I
turned, and without replying rasred
from the room, still sobbing. You can
imagine the commotion | created; in
fact | broke up the party.
Tho next time l saw General Sher-
man was at the Inaugural ball at the
Metropolitan Opera house. Mrs. Hicks
Lord. leaning on the arm of the General,
came face to face with me in the prom
cnade. She stopped me and said, Aunt
Fanny, want you and General Sher-
man to know each other The General
bowed gallantly. l did the same, some.
what frigidly, l fear, and then passed
on.
"'Who is that woman, Mrs. Lord"
asked the General.
"'Why. that is Mrs. Barrow-Aunt
Fanny she replied.
What is there between that little
woman and me? said the General knit
ting his brows, Something terrible
happened to me once, with which she
was onnected-what is it-what is it%
Mrs Lord could not tell him, for she
did not know" said Mrs, Barrow in con-
clusion; "and General Sherman was un-
able to remember"

farm where he has lived ever since. He
served in the army and held an honorable
discharge. He was about 46 years of age

had brother who was quite a prominent
citizen of Virginia, Nevada, some years ago
where he held the position of paymaster OF
| Yruckee. He died in an insane asylum
Charles Crandall was we'll known in Virgini;
City, Butte and Bozeman.

Mines Near Rcd Lodge.

Judge II. B. Durham came in last Friday
evening from the Sinking Water country
and brings in some Of tile finest ore that
we have looked at in many n day. Among
the samples that Judge Durham brought in
is a fine specimen of galena that weighs
forty-iye pounds.
The owners of the Geyser mine have
started in new tunnel and are now in a
short distance and the ore is looking very
well. The new strike in this mine is a
character of ore thought to be brittle silver.
This is u big lead from the surfaces and is
improving all the time with development
work. The ore from the Geyser is fine steel
galena and resembles very much the ore
from the famous Curlew at Victor, Mont.
The Good Hope mine has had recently
considerable development done on it and
the pay streak has widened out from eight
inches to twelve inches. and is looking bet
ter all the time. The latest strike in this
mine is fine character of lead carbonate
and silver. The owners of this property
are very much elated over the present out
look of the mine and are now convinced
that it will make one of the great bullion
producers of the northwest.-Picket.

yer. The shoot was encountered IN raise
between the $50 and the 250-foot levels, at q
point east of the shaft, and is about twenty
one inches wide. Enough work has not yet
been done, however, to determine its length
and height. Sample chunks weighing from
$50 to 200 pounds are being taken out, and
those who have seen them pronounce them
to be the richest they have ever seen in the
camp. Mr.. Sullivan has expended many
thousands of dollars. in exploring the vein
passing through the Homestuke. and his
many friends will be pleased to learn that
his money has not been spent in vain
