One of the most peculiar and interesting
places on the American continent is Just
being opened up. The section lies across
the diagonal line that forms the southern
boundary Of the State of Nevada. spreading
into California and reaching almost to the
line of the Atlantic and Pacifr Railroad.
L be old forty-niners passed through this
section during the California gold excite
ment. Many persisted from thirst, and
the remains of their wagons, such as the
tires and other iron parts, may be found
strewn about the valleys.

sight for his gun with il. 1t was so rich
that when he told the story In civilization
DrOSpectOrs started out 10 locate it. The
fact of the similarity of all the valleys led
many asiray, and they perished from
thirst. His description of the spot applied
TO so many spots that no one has ever been
able to accurately locate the mine, but the
present owners think they have found il.
The valley adjoining that which is the
route of the Nevada Southern is called
Pahrump. 1t is described as the principal
one of Them all for gold and silver and
lead mines. Up IN the valley, which is

for the result seconds seemed minutes and
minutes hours. Soon. however. commO-
ton was discovered among the enemy's
troops, and about the same time a twink

OF the barn through gable window. About

heard and the noise of tramping men was

BY the time he reached his comrades the
fire was going in full force and the whole
grounds surrounding the railroad cut was
lighted up so that with our muskets and
two Parrot guns we had with us we were
soon able to beat Marmaduke back out Of
range. The hay burned nearly all night
and maintained light, so the garrison was
saved from capture. Daylight came and
the enemy was kept at bay until Colonel

TOLD BY CONGRESSMAN STONE.

Oar regiment. the One Hundred and
Eighty seventh of Pennsylvania, when we
were in the Virginia swamps just previous
to the battle Of Petersburg. had charged
into piece of woods and ecaptured a rife
pit which had been taken from, cur forces
by the Confederates. 1t began to rain
furiously just We drove the enemy out
and got possession. Right in front OF our
company the pit took sharp turn. A few
: rails. logs and limbs of trees had been
thrown down and dirt piled upon them
from both sides. The ground was very
swampy and the rain soon formed quite a
depth of water on each side in the trench.
The C0nfederates kept up a brisk fire, and
we had TO settle. down in the mud and
water TO obtain any protection. Night
came on and the rain and the firing still
kept up.
After midnight it was discovered that
The water was washing the earth away in

ering at the angle in front OF us. or other
wise our protection would soon be gone.
Captain Hart. then commanding the COM
pany which lay at that point, hesitated to
order detail and called for some one to
volunteer to engage In the dangerous
work. The enterprise was not only dan
gerous, but it was a hundred chances to one
that the person undertaking it would be
carried to, the rear riddled with bullets.
1t was positively certain that as soon as
the sound Of the sbovel.was heard the
enemy lying directly in front and but a
short distance away would direct their fire
to that spot.
Every: one saw the situation aud the
danger and, naturally. no one was in haste
to volunteer, Finally private named Lon
. Mock. man Of delicate frame, who had
enlisted in Company A, from Wellsboro,
Iioga County, Pa, stepped to The front
and said without any flourish. and as
though 1T was the most ordinary affair of
his life, that he would undertake the lob.
The terrible campaign of 1864 and the
dampness and malaria of the Vir-
ginia swamps, had told uron his
health, and he hardly. looked able
to lift a shovel, much less to musfer
up nerve enough to undertake the nroh-
ably fatal work in hand. He had ALWAYS
done his duty. but in very unotenstations
way, In no manner distinguish hing himself.
and 1t was with. much surprise that his
comrades saw him step to the front when
they had all hung back. He did not seem
TO be anxious to go, and there was no air
of bravado about him. He simply es-
teemed the act to be part of his duty. and
II that was the case it made no difference
to him whether the performance was dan
gerous or not. He saw, also. that the
lives OF comrades were at stake, and that
