EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: The story
of the destruction Of Union battery on the
Gulf Coast during the late war, which lately
appeared in print, by the rebounding of the
enemy's shells from fog-bank constructed
by the batterymen from the dense fog OF
that locality during the previous night to
protect them from an attack in the rear,
calls to mind "Reminiscences of those stir
ring times. 1t is well known to any Of
"Smith's Guerrillas I" that no imitation of
the imaginative mind can picture scenes and
incidents to rival the periis, privations, and
hasdships OF their well-remembered expert
eDces in "Dixie's fair land in the early Sos.
One little incident of the many of interest
which intervened to divert the mind of the
soldiers of the 9Th Wis from the dull rou-
tine of. camp life at Point Pleasant during
the siege of Island No. 10 in the Spring of
1862. Ifthere should linger a doubt in the
mind of the most skeptical reader as TO the
absolute reality of the incident we are
about 10 relate, we will simply refer such
unbeliever to any of the survivors of the
sboye-named stanch old regiment, who
were there and interested spectators.

1T SCARED AWAY TOWARD HEAVEN.
downy cheek from humid eye, as you pause
In sad contemplation of our terrible situa-
ton, with all our cheering hopes of victory
over our savage foes nipped in the bud, and
our joyous anticipations Of a little peace and
nights undisiurbed repose dispersed Our
enemies' intentions soon became too obvious,
as one after another their keen and glowing
lances rapidly appeared through the metal
walls, and threatened TO reach our shrinking
forms in spite Of all our efforts TO avoid
them, on account of the narrowness of space
bringing our bodies in such close proximity
TO those protecting walls.
But Yankee genius yet prevailed. For
now, in contemplation OF how to meet the
emergencies OF our terrible situation. we
happily bethOught ourselves Of little tack
hammer in our knapsack, which we had
conveyed into our narrow quarters for
pillow, and, securing it as the only suitable
defensive weapon in our present situation,
we proceeded very industriously TO work.
BY light tap upon the protruding point Of
each fiery, glistening lance with which our
surrounding walls were now bristling, we
clinched each threatening bill SO that each
mosketo was held prisoner When we had
thus captured all the mosketoes that could

It was during the month of March, 1862,
that the Live Eagle Regiment was en-
camped meath the dense shade of cotton
wood forest on the west bank of the great
Father of Waters, surrounded by the inter
minable swamps of southwest Missouri.
Among the ruins caused by war were the
remnants of the sheet-iron smokestack of
some demolished fabric Of mechanical in
dustry of ante-bellum time, and the idea
gradually permeated my susceptible cere-
Drum that ] might make an invulnerable
coat-ofmail of one Of those sbee;-iron cylin-
ders, and by barricading the ends defy the
insidious and perseyering assaults of the
enemy.
Accordingly I secured section two and
half feet in diameter by about eight feet
In length, aud in company with our bunk
mate, Mortimer L. Andrews, of Fitchburgls
famous farmland fame, we crawled into our
narrow environment, and closing tight both
front and rear with our rubber blankets,
we complacently contemplated the success
Of our strategic operations against our nu-
merous foes, with the soothing belief that
we had now ciTcumyented all their blood
thirsty schemes, and would be enabled to
enjoy night of undisturbed repose.
And OH bow our narrow metallic walls
vocal smiles at The impotent thrusts of the
enemyis keen lances, glancing in and out
through the rubber covering of the entrance
to our inyulDerable fort in their vain Efforts
TO reach their much-desired prey. But our
exUltant mirih was soon changed to anxious
forebodings Of impending evil, as we listened
to a strange and unaccountable din, as if
fom the operation Of million little drills
employed in boring holes through our sur-
rounding iron walls.
Gould il be possible that the enemy was
so well provided in their engineering de-
partment that our presupposed impregnable
defense was destined 10 crumble before the
insidnity Of our persistent foes, and are our
throbbng, ieyered veins to supply the ma
terial element for their festive nightly revels
In spite Of all our Yankee ingenuity and
perseyering efforts to circumvent their
crafty intentions upon the life-current of
our mortal existence? Dear reader, do not

The Engineering and Mining Journal
is authority for the statement thai
the great Anaconda properties, togeth-
er with those Of the Chambers syndl-
cate at Butte and Anaconda, are to be
sold or, in fact have been practically
sold, to a European syndicate, the
price stated being $3O,O0O00O. Should
the information be correct an eXplana-
ton of the recent reorganization Of the
Anaconda company is explained. The
Chambers syndicate one of the mem
bers of which is Hon. Robert c. Cham
bers, is the owner of some of the rich
est properties at Butte and it is said
that the very highest grade ores now
treated by the Anaconda company
come from these mines. In the event
of the sale taking place, the syndicate
will undoubtedly receive a large slice
of the $50, 000, 900. The Engineering and
Mining Journal has this to say regard
ing the deal said to be now on:
There have been rumors for some
time past that the Anaconda copper
mines of Butte, Mont, are about TO be
sold to u European syndicate. The
company has been organized with
capital stock of $4,000, 600, Gt was pre-
vious to this So, SOC, OOO) and is owned
chiefly, if not exclusively, by j. B. Hag-
gan, the Hearst estate and Marcus
DAILY.
The rumor of the sale of the property
in Europe is at least premature. Some
years ago negotiations were made
with the Rothchilds for the sale of the
Anaconda mine for go, 600, OOO but now
it is understood the Chambers syndi-
cate mines are included in the new
company that had been offered at
$50, 600 600, with a liberal commission.
The vendors, it is said, offer to guar
antee that the profits will amount to
not less than $4,000, 900, or 10 per cent.

REoPENING THE GLENCOE.
Contractor Has Now Agreed TO Sink
Il Shaft.

The Glencoe properties in the Camp
Floyd district, which are looked upon
as being very valuable, but upon which
many thousands of dollars have been
already expended in exploration, are
being reopened and a contract has
been made by the owners, chief among
whom are MeSsrS, Dergy and Raddatz
under the provisions of which the con-
tractor guarantees to find the vein.
Work has already commenced and Con-
tractor Johnson says he is confident of
encountering the ore bodies within a
very few feet at point where pay
rock will be taken out. He is now sink
ing on what he says is the outcropping
of the true vein of the district and an
incline will be sent down with the
vein.
1t is stated that Messrs. Dersy and
Raddatz have expended to date some
thing over $4,000 in the DEVELOPMENT
of the properties and they have equip
ped them with first-class buildings
and quarters for the workmen Every
thing is in good shape for continual
ton of the development work and all
those interested in the district are hop
ing that the vein will be encountered

Entirely Satisfactory.
Having demonstrated to their own
satisfaction that the deposits of mica
in Cedar Basin and in the Bunker
Vile mountains, south of st. George
are not as extensive as at first thought
and cannot be developed as easily as

for the purpose of reporting to their
principals, Messrs. Hall, Leonard and
Lippman. The $4,000 bond given on
the properties by the last three gentle
men named will not be taken up ana
the deal has been declared off.
The gentlemen state that they did a
great deal of development work on the
deposits, which were thought to he ex-
tremely extensive, and ascertained thar
the mica cannot be successfully mined.
Every shot put in breaks the mica uD

to make use of the same. These pro-
