Two Good Stories of the War Iim'''
of Generation Ago.

of a GeneraJlOn Ago
Charleston Nelrs and C0urier.
The Rev. Robert Wilson of st Luke>s
Episcopal Church. says
I'm 1888 met in Richmond Col Mccoy
of PENNSYLVANIA, who had been gallant
wearer of the blue. We got quite chummy
over a mixed wood camp fire, and wish
ing to put him at his ease, told him the
story Of Kershaw's magnificent reconnols-
Sance at Fredericksburg, which can never
be TOO often repeated. An orderly had ar
rived in hot haste with a command for Gen
Kersha w to have the enemy reconnoltereu AT
all hazards from knoll which was swept
by the fire of the sharpshooters of both
armies Every bush and tree had been cut
away by the storm of bullets, and 1t looked
like certain death TO the man who should
attempt it. Calmly singing his field glass
and turning over his command TO the next
officer in rank, Joseph b. Kershaw rode
slowly up to the death trap into Wnlch ne
would not send any other man. The slght
of his heroic action as he sat anna the
whistling minies. sweeping the opposing
ranks with his glass. was too much for
the chivalry of the Yankee commander,
and the order went down the Federal line f,
Cease firing on that officer. The rifles
became silent, the reconnaissance was
finished, and raising his cap IN acknowl-
edgment, Gen. Kershaw quietly rode back
at walk, unharmed.'
''It was a splendid incident remarked
Col Mccoy, but l can cap it with a
personal experience of the chivairous dis
position of your men. l was ON Gen.
Meade's staff near Richmond. and one
morning, with the general at our head,
we rode down to take look over the river.
As we turned sharply out Of the bushes
and came out on the bank we found our
selves in point blank range of q Confcd-
crate picket drawn up on the other side.
A volley would have emptied every saddle,
for we were entirely at their mercy, but
it would have been murder, for they
could not cross and capture us. Recog-
nizing Gen. Meade, the commander of
the detachment ordered his men into line
and they presented arms. We raised our
caps in grateful acknowledgment. rode
slowly back into the bushes, and as soon
as we were fairly out of sight put spurs
to our horses and scudded back to the
camp as If the devil was after u.s.

the tail is not curled up and will not spring
back when straightened, the lobster was

Choose the smaller Holsters that are heavy
for their size, as the larger ones are apt TO
be coarse and tough. Lobsters weighing
from one and one-half to three pounds are
the best in size. All parts of the lobster are
wholesome and may be used, except the

met in regular session Thursday evening in
their hall, 737 Seventh street. Under the
head of communications a letter was read
from the Federation of Labor, outlining a
grievance ofthe Timers Assembly, K. of L.,
against the Cornice Workers Union. The
matter was referred to a committee for
investigation. Much condemnation was
expressed asto the ~ amer in which thenew
city postoffice job is being conducted by
Contractor Hulse. 1t was claimed that the
work was being done by boys that have
worked at the cornice business from one to
three years, and that only two iourneymen
were employed on the entire work. The
maximu mrate OF wages paid was alleged
TO be fifty cents per day less than the
standard rate paid in this city. A pro rata
rate was paid for eight hurs' wrk.

THE OVERLAND NINE.
Ore Values Increase as Development
Progresses

Next to the discovery of the Sun
shine mine, in Camp Floyd district,
the most important strike yet made in
that part of the camp was when pay
ore was uncovered in the Overland
group. which joins the Sunshine
ground on the north
This discovery proves the continuity
of the Sunshine ore zone to the north
and there can be no doubt but that
it will be found to extend unbroken
from Sunshine to Mercur; and what
is more important. it has been demon
sitrated that with depth the gold values
of the ore increase, and assays so lar
nlz de give returns of from 81 to $50 to
the ton, the latest tests showing aver
age values of from So to $12.
Since striking the ore the body has
been drifted upon for a distance of
from so 70 20 feet, but it is the inten-
ton to develop the ground to an ex-
tent of $50 feet more before making
any decision relative to the erection of
a mill, and even then new workings
will be begun on the hill just east of
the present shaft, where an incline
shaft will be sunk for working pur
poses, and if all is then satisfactory,
a mill will be built on this site.
The outlook for the Overland is a
most promising one. and, without
doubt, it will eventually develop into
as great a property as is its near
neighbor. the Sunshine mine.

Manager o. B. Hardy of the Starlus
and Mast mines went to Bingham yes
terday for the purpose of increasing
the force on both of these properties,
and within d short time now these
producers viii be making good records
OF the shipping list.
The Starlus and the Mast mines
I have been steadily developed during
the past winter and spring, and the
Mast has made several shipments of
first-class ore;- but during Manager
Hardy's recent trip east work was
slackened up somewhat, but now that
he has returned it is the intention to
crowd developments as rapidly as pos
sible.
During the past six or eight months
most of the work done on these prop
critics has been dead work, so that
now everything is in shape for a sea-
son of production.
Within the past few days a fine
body of carbonate ore has been
opened and uncovered in the bottom of
the VIM from the face of the Starlus
tunnel. This is at a vertical depth
of 700 feet. from the surface and proves
the continuity and permanency of the

s29.16 ounces in silver and $904.3S in
gold to the ton. This is considered as
q very important strike, and the man
agement feels much elated over the
outlook
From now on regular shipments will
be made from the Mast group. which
has an enviable reputation as an old
time producer. This property shows
good bodies of pay ore in several
places. but in this group also a strike
has been made but recently and now
the men employed are breaking down
mineral from an eighteen-inch body
of solid ore that runs 40 per cent in
lead, twenty-six ounces silver and
$l345 in gold to the ton; and, taken
altogether, there is sufficient ore in
sight to justify the statement that the
company will be able to make regular
and heavy shipments from now on.
Besides the Starlus and Mast there
are many other Bingham properties
that will make excellent records this
season.

mill, the capacity of which, in all like
lihood, will be increased at least hun
dred tons. which can easily be done, as
the plant was originally constructed
with this in view, all that is now required
being the construction of the required
number of tanks and the building of
roof over them. In its machinery equip
ment, the Sunshine plant is one of the
best and most perfect to be found in the
west.
Alex LEAVE, prominent mining ex-
pert of Salt Lake, and an authority. on
mining problems, was in the district last
week and took look at few of our
principal bonanzas. Asked for his i'm
preston of the district, he said: Il have

W. G. Nebeker. the well known mining
man of this city, accompanied by James
Bartes, late resident of Michigan, but
who has adopted Utah for his future
home, made a visit last Sunday to the
Ajax mine, near Mammoth, in Tintic dis
trict. They were both well pleased with
the promising condition of this property.
and also with the workings of the Nam
they inspected. The Sioux Consolidated,
Mr. Nebeker says, is a monument to the
genius and skill of George Robinson, un-
der whose personal supervision it was
erected. The Ajax mine is making regu-
lar and heavy shipments of ore, and it is
expected that within two weeks a mann
moth ore body will be uncovered in new
place in the mine.

ent of the Golden Eagle mine, passed

THE NEW STATE SHOWING.
Cut Four Inches of Gold Quartz in
the New Tunnel.

In any other country the showing
now being made in the New State mine,
near the mouth of Little Cottonwood,
in Salt Lake county, would cause the
greatest excitement in mining circles;
but here, in sfaid Utah our people
simply look upon it as a matter of
course and think no more about 1t;
nor will they. until some fine morning
they will wake up to find that this
mine is a dividend payer. when they
VIII not be able to get out to this prop
erty fast enough in their frantic eff
forts TO get ground near it.
The New State in its upper workings
shows good bodies Of high-grade free
gold ore, which have been drifted along
for several hundred feet, but left in
place, as the management believed in
making a mine, instead of chloriding,
and with this end in view. decided upon
deep mining, and so started a tunnel
to cuE the ledge at a greater depth,
and so prove its continuity and perma-
nency.
Last week this tunnel had been driv-
en- a distance of go feet, cutting the
formation. At this point and at YER
tical depth of lis feet a four-inch ledge
of quartz was encountered that was
identical with the ore found in the
upper workings, ana winch was Iult
of free gold in its native state. This
ore body is about seventy feet from
where the company expects to cut the
main ledge on its dip. and work will
be vigorously pushed until this is &C
complished.
The New State gives every indfca-
ton of developing into bonanza gold
producer. for there must certainly be
big deposit of the precious metal in
that immediate vicinity. as stringers
of quartz literally plastered over with
gold are coming into the tunnel from
all directions.
The Dipper group, adjoining the New
State is also making a most excellent
showing A new shaft was recently
begun on this property, as announced
in these columns. AT about ten feet
this shaft broke into a body of free
gold ore. and it is stated that this has
widened out TO two feet. and that the
Dfpper company has several tons of
very rich ore on the dump.
4 There are other valuable and prom
&ising prospects in this locality. and be-
: fore the falling of the leaves it is be-
lieved that the mines at the mouth of
Little Cottonwood viii be heard from
as regular shippers and dividend pay

THE ODD FELLOWS EXCURSION.


The Salt Lake local committee on an
nual excursion of the Odd Fellows when
called to order by Chairman Harvey last
evening exhibited a full attendance
Much interest was displayed in the pro-
ceedings and while not thoroughly posted
in what is to be, the committee showed no
lack of zeal in their aspirations to make
the 18th of August the most noted day in
the interests of the order. State Chair
man ]. j. Thomas and Secretary Jennens
visited the committee during the session
and from the latter we learn that the
effort to unite the old with the young
will be passed upon favorably. The COM
mittee made most liberal appropria lions,
one Of the principal awards being donated
to the oldest married couple-continuous
residents of Utah since 1S47.
We are not in a position to announce
all the prizes that will be awarded, two
of which will be for the Highland fling

far as possible A committee of three,
consisting of Grand Master j. T. Buckle,
with Past Grand Masters j. j. Thomas
and e. d. Hoge being appointed for the
purpose.
The great event of the day or rather the

DEATH ON THE RAIL.
UNFORTUNATE TRAMP FATALLY
INJURED NEAR THE U. p. DEPOT.
He Was Stealing a Ride to the City
and Jumped from the Train to
Avoid Arrest-Died Last Night at
St. Marks.

A man who has not been identified
any further than that his name is be-
lieved to be Alexon was injured by the
Union Pacific flyer yesterday morning,
sustaining injuries from which he died
at st. Marks hospital about 11:90
o'clock last night The man is believed
to be a tramp who was beating his
way on the overland, and in attempt
ing to jump off before the train came
to a standstin fell under the wheels.
The body was discovered shortly af-
ter 4 o'clock in the morning by men
in charge of a switch engine. A hasty
examination convinced them that life
was not entirely extinct, and County
Physician Wright was summoned Ar
irving on the scene he. had the injured
man sent to ST. Marks, where restor-
atives were applied, but to no avail.
The man never recovered conscious
ness.
From the mans general appearance it
is presumed he was a. tramp coming
in from the north. When the. train
slowed UP between Second and Third
North streets he evidently had attempt
ed to jump off and avoid arrest. In
some way he must have been caught,
for his clothes Indicated that he had
been dragged along the ground for some
distance.
The description of the unfortunate is
given as that of a middle sized man
about "a years of age. He was dressed
rather shabbily, but had on a good new
pair of shoes. He was light complex
toned, closely cut hair and small
mustache. "A scrap of paper was found
in one of the pockets containing the
name of Alexson, which is believed to
be his right name. Aside from this
there was nothing whereby he might
be identified

ACTIVITY AT MERCUR.
To Prospect the Moonshine with
Churn Drill.

MERCUR, July PA great dead Of de-
velopment work is now going on in Camp
Floyd district, and of late prospecting is
being expedited by the introduction of
diamond drills manipulated by steam
power. The East Golden Gate led out in
this direction, and the innovation was
followed by c. l.. Dignowity, who, with
his churn drill. made a contract today to
sink deep hole on the Moonshine ground
owned by c. c. Higgins and others.
This modus operandi will greatly facili-
tate prospecting in this district, and by
the use of these drills the work can be
done speedily and at a small expense.
Word was received in town today that
Jardine, Conner & Neighton had uncov-
cred fine body of good-looking ore on
the Editor group in the western foothills.
The news has had an encouraging effect
on parties owning property in that local
ity, and as a result more work than ever
will be done there this fall
The Backyard shaft is in good ground
and ii is expected almost any day now
that ore will be uncovered.
The Mercur, Marion, Geyser and Sac
ramento mines and mills are making their
regular outputs, and the camp is flour
ishing.
