The weather during the week has

have been u~nfavorable to all crops,

by frost last month, and that which

very limited in area.
Reports indicate that in some local.

Great Irrigation scheme.

At Rapid City, Mayor Woods has
called q special meeting Of the city
council for the purpose Of taking action
In regard to the right Of way asked by
the Dakota Water Power Company
through the northern part OF that city
for its great pipe line, which is to sup
ply the storage reservoirs and irrigat-
Ing canal along tho Rapid Creek di-
vide. The company proposes to bring
down the water from Its dam in the
hills in an iron pipe three feet In di-
ameter, which is estimated to cost
$4O,0 0 per mile. Thousands OF acres
Of land along the divide will thus be
rendered productive, and the enter-
prise will have an important bea ing
upon the future of the citysaNater
will be furnished to the land owners at
from 81 to $3.50 per acre for the sea-
son, and o. irrigated land in this
region produces three IONS OF hay
worth 80 per ton and grain and crops
Of corresponding value there Is no
question a to profits OF this kind Of
farming. The heavy fall of the pipe
will also generate q valuable water
power, which will probably be utilized
for manufacturing.

More Rich Gold finds.

plants as the keystone" and u. r."
but it was reserved for a practically
new claim to fully suggest the great
wealth of these comparatively unknown
fields. The now famous mine which
has produced the richest specimens
ever found in the Hills Is known as the
"Tea" claim. 1t is the property Of
Messrs. Petit and Mcclure of Hill City
and is located a short distance from
the -. r." in the Green Mountain
Ranch neighborhood. After sinking
the shaft about 80 feet the ledge was
cross cut and a large body of rich ore
revealed, that on the foot wall rum
OF the decomposed ore is said to have
yielded over 5000. The

in Hill City. and it is probable that
another gold mill will be started.

In . field nc a r their home o few days
ago, when in the coarse OF their work
they encountered u large boulder
which they decided to get rid Of by
sinking it beneath the surface. They
had just finished digging q hole at the
side OF the rock when Mr.. Schorzman
sent his son, Henry, down TO scrape
away more earth. The father leaned
forward to sec how his son was pro-
crossing with the work when he UNI
consciously put his hand on the
boulder. The rock OF a ton weight
slipped from its looscned foundation
and went crashing down into the hole,
crushing Henry Schorzman into =

were fired into we should defend ourselves,
and if we could not get our horses out we
could possibly escape ourselves in the dark
ness. and thus avoid capture.
The Corporal and l examined the banks
for a crossing, and happily found wash
cut, where we crossed and landed in corn-
field. We then mounted, and naturally fol-
lowed the rows of corn. The corn was as high
as our heads. On our arrival at the oppo-
site side of the cornfeld we consulted, and
came to the conclusion we had lost our bear
ings and were all at sea. Fortunately, a
light wss discovered some distance from us,
which proved to be a small house of one of
the settlers. A knock at the door with my
saber-hilt brought man and woman to the
door, and to say that they were scared when
they saw the Yankee cavalry at that hour of
the night would be putting it mild.
I inquired of the man how far and in
what direction was Jefferson. He pointed,
and said about two miles. ! ordered him to
lead us at once out into the road leading to
Jefferson. The mans wife, having fears for
his safety, insisted on going with him, which
she did. We reached the road about half
mile from the house. then dismissed the
man and his wife, and we set out at lively
pace for Jefferson. When near the village
we saw a number of lights at different
houses but at the first sound of our horses
on the street every light went out.
Finding no enemy in Jefferson, we breathed
little easier. We still had some two miles
to Sulphur Springs Ford before we were in
side our lines, and confidently expected to
run into the enemy's pickets at or near the
ford. Just after leaving Jefferson Gilligan's
horse gave out, and not wishing to abandon
the animal we travelled very slow.
We soon came in sight of the Union
picket-fires at the ford, which we certainly
hailed with delight. We found no rebel
picket on the south side of the river, and
on arriving at the ford we were hailed by
our pickets, who, after the usual challenge
and report, allowed us to cross over, where
we bivouacked for the balance of the night.
Next morning we started for Rappahannock
Station, where we found our ammunition
train, recrossed the river and rejoined our
command next day at Rapidan Station, feel
ing that our adventure had not been one of
bloody encounter with the enemy, but GER
tainly very narrow escape from rebel
prison experience.
Would like to hear from the boys, if living,
who were with me ON this OCCASIONS. j.

DEFENSE OF THE GENERAL
One of Nelson's Cavalry" Speaks Good
Words for Him.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I have
read the article by Comrade Paulk regard
ing Gen. Nelson. / have also read the reply
by Comrade Hinson, who has answered the
same in a very impartial manner.
Gen. Nelson was q thorough soldier, and
a Drawer and more patriotic General was
not to be found genuine Kentucky gen.
tleman, a man used to being Obeyed. We did
not understand discipline as we did in after
years, after serving over four years, as many
of us did.
Gen. Nelson was In time at Shiloh that
memorable Sunday eve to turn the tide Of
battle in favor of the Union cause. He
forced a march from Savannah, Tenn, over
a rough and unbroken road, arriving opposite
the Landing and ordered the boats to ferry
over his men, being compelled to use threats
to have them obey.
Heading his men he led them into the
fight, saying: Come on, my men; we can
lick them"
He always attended to the interest of his
command, seeing personally to clothing and
rations. We were often called Nelson's
Cavalry because our General had a way of
getting US there. Gen. Nelson was quick to
see and move his men at the right time and
into the right place
A General or private would fare alike if
his orders were not obeyed; each was COM
plimented if he did obey.
He now belongs to the silent majority, but
if he were living he would be properly
known and understood. I was on the
detail at his funeral at Louisville, Ky.
Peace to his ashes.-WM. CLINGMAN, Pri-
vate, Co. A, 9th KY, and Co. +, 4th KY.

A Suggestion.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE. "Neces-

that the Government open neutrality-suspicious.
all over the country, giving the COxeyites the
preference In enlistment. When mustered
into the service all should be provided with
good uniforms and arms, which they should
be required to keep scrupulously clean. AS
to the service they may have three drills "
and four "roll-calls per day; rigid disci-
pline should be maintained, with the usual
supply of bareback and soWbelly." Spare
time may be employed on coast defenses
and harbor and river improvements.
Tramps and camp-followers should be

three years, or during the "panic." Re-

atives and Senators on this Point.
EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The sug-
gestion contained in your excellent paper
for the comrades to write to their members
of Congress and Senators and urge the pass
age of certain measures for the special bene-
fit of the soldier is causing much inquiry.
More than score of comrades have asked
me what to write. l will give them the
benefit of my opinion as to what to ask for,
and do not believe there will be dissent
ing voice in every hundred comrades.
First. A bill which provides for an in
crease of clerical force in the Pension Bureau
sufficient to clear up the rolls by the last of
December, 1894.
Second A bill which provides for service
pension of not less than So per month and
upward, according to term of service, to all
receiving less than $50 per month, said serv-
ice pension being an addition to any disa-
bility pension now received.
Third. A bill which provides that, in the
rating of pension, the Commissioner shall
be required to make a rating no less than
that of the board that examined the pen
sioner.
Fourth. A bill which provides that in the
consideration of claims for pension when the
evidence seems straight,n no claim shall be
oyerthrown by any trivial technicality,
which sometimes may happen to creep into
a claim.
The above provisions are to include all
laws and all pensions now on file or here
after to be filed.
Now, let the comrades go to work in ear
nest and urge the passage of the above
measures. To my mind this is tolerably
fair outline of what the comrades want.
Now, let us ask for it. THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE has very wisely declined to give
an outline of what is wanted, and has as
signed valid reasons for the refusal, which is
my chief apology for this writing.-VET-
