In this upward passage the guns of the
battery were trained high, as subsequently
learned, in hopes to reach the pilot-house,
and so disable u.s. Consequently, in going
up there was no loss of life. One woman
was wounded in the foot by shell which
exploded on the Missouri, but slight damage
was done our boat. The shots, however,
whstled thick and fast about the pilot
house, peppered the smokestacks and escape
pipes, cut some of the guy-chains staying the
smokestacks, and smashed skylights all to
flinders. / shall never forget how Mr.. Ely,
the Pilot, and discussed our chances while
under fire in case shell should strike the
boiler iron lining of the pilot-house. lie
laughingly said TO me: "If shell hits that
/ Will meet you over on the sandbar to the
ssarboard.D
Having successfully passed the battery
and landed above, i first visited the tlnclad,
and found she had been severely handled IN
her fight the evening before, and the Cap
tain was himself wounded in the head.
next visited the Captain of the transport,
and found him heavily loaded with freight
and passengers, but ready and eager to run
the battery with us.
/ arranged with Col. Ellet this time my
self to lead with my convoy, while he fol-
lowed closely in my wake, and we were to
give the rebs Z" the best we had in the shop J"
as we went down, as we did also in going
up, with both artillery and muskets. In
going down determined TO have the first
shot and took my stand behind the Rodman
gun on the starboard, near the front end of
the cabin deck We pushed on down, the
rebel guns and gunners in plain sight on
shore, the men with coats off, and bare
headed.
My men grew more and more impatient to
fire, and finally gave the word, and train
ing the piece the men let her 90. At almost
the same instant the rebs opened, and their
first shot struck and shattered front

two l0-pound Rodman and two six-pound
brass pieces.
If remember correctly, these three boats
were alone together when the Diana and
the Baltic had their fight, the Autocrat and
the rest of the feet coming upon the scene
soon after.
One of our Lieutenants Il have forgotten
whO) was returning from Memphis, where
he had been with prisoners, and the trans
port upon which he was on June / was
hailed in by a tinclad and held, because, as
the Captain of the tinclad said, there was
"a battery below with which he had Just
been fighting and which could not be passed.
Our returning Lieutenant dropped down
with bis men in yawl, passed the battery,
and informed Gen. Ellet of the situation,
and the General, as 1 was afterward told,
mot having the fear of God before his eyes"
nor the fear Of the enemy in his heart, swore
be would now show the tinclads that the
Marine Brigade would fight"
Accordingly, on the morning of June 2,
1864 about O'Clock, was aroused by an
Orderly bearing written order and verbal
Instructions to report to Gen. Ellet so soon
rs had aroused my command and insured
preparation for executing the written order.
This written order proved, on examination,
30 have been originally issued to Col. Cur
RE, instructing him 10 be ready at daylight
to 90 past the batteries and bring the trans
port down. The strong Iecoil Of the Colo
nel's heavy gun. however, had strained the
boilers OF the ID ana in her recent fight, so
that the Colonel deemed her unable to raise
sufficient steam for the trip. This being re-
ported to Gen. Ellet, be had instructed Col.
Currle TO turn his orders over TO me as
though originally directed to me.
Repairing to the cabin Of the Autocrat as
soon as my men and crew had been aroused,
the General informed me that was to 20
up to Columbia Bend with the Adams and,
il +" j deemed it possible, pass the battery
and bring the transport down." The Gen
eral further explained TO me that while he
did not wish me to take any unwarranted
risk Of losing my boat he felt anxious that
what was proposed should be accomplished

is not known just what interests he rep
resents at the sale.
The theory obtained here is that his
purchase of the Grand Island would
mean the early contamination of the
cherished scheme of paTalleling the Union
and Central Pacific, by means of a union
of branch lines, built by them In the
height of their prosperity. and OF merg-
ing interests with an eastern trunk line,
the Baltimore e. Ohio, for instance, so as
to complete an unproken trans-continen-
tai line between the two oceans.
Confirmation of this theory is found in
the present movement for new short
line between Denver and Salt Lake
which would shorten the rail distance
200 miles, and in the fact that by the
construction of 214 miles of track the
Grand Island could be united with the
Baltimore & Ohio at Beardstown, ILL.,,
obtain a Kansas City and Omaha en-
trance and reach Denver, Alma, Neb.'
Cclby, Kan, and the Kansas division OF
the Union Pacific, which is not gov

Oregon Short Line and the Oregon Rail-
way & Navigation Company, and land the

IN THE COMMUNICATING BUSINESS.
Damaging Evidence Against Men
Arrested at Wallace.

Wallace Idaho, Dec. 22.-Last nights
arrest of M. r. Shelton and William
Taylor has created a great sensation.
The arrest was caused first as the result
of a search warrant for bedding stolen
from Whitechapel district a few nights
ago. Shelton was suspected and the search
warrant disclosed the bedding in his
house The officers thought to do good
work while at it, and went into his trunk,
where were Is watches and other jewelry
stolen from ]. T. Gotskys store three
weeks ago.
This morning further search discovered
six more gold watches in water closet
vault. Also a lot of cheap pins and rings
in some ashes, having been through fire.
Further search this afternoon disclosed
dies for making fives and half dollars.
A counterfeit dollar was also found, but
no die Considerable jewelry is still MISS
ing and the search will be continued
When Gotsky was robbed his story was
generally discredited. He was a stranger
here and some of the watches taken were
left with him to repair. Shelton invited
Gotsky to supper the night the store was
robbed, waiting, as now appears, at Shell
toms house for his return while the host
was relieving the guest of a thousand
few days after for parts unknown. Con-
siderable mail accumulated here for him,
the postmaster having no instructions to
fol ward it. When first arrested, Shelton
explained his possession of the stuff by
saying Gotsky had robbed the store, but
he (Shelton) learned it and made him di
vide to prevent exposure. Through eff
forts of The Spokesman-ReviewS CORE
spondent Gotsky was traced today, being
found at Garfield, from whence he will
| arrive tomorrow
When the burned jewelry was found,
Mrs. Shelton said it was some Gotsky had
| left and gave them as it was valueless
to him, saying to burn it if they could
do nothing else with it, and as they did
not want it they put it in the stove. Shell
ton is reported to have served four years
| in the Montana penitentiary at Deer
Lodge. Taylor came here recently from
st. Joe. Further search tomorrow is ex-
pected to reveal a quarter dollar die, num-
erous counterfeits of that denomination
having been circulated here recently.

TO PUMP OUT THE MINE
WATER TO BE REMOVED FROM A
FAMOUS PROPERTY.
Allison Ranch Mine "a Quarter of a
Century Ago Was Big Divi-
dend Payer.

San Francisco, Dec. %. - The Allison
Ranch mine, which was a quarter of a
century ago one of the best producing
mines in the vicinity of Grass Valley, is to
be reopened and worked to it's fullest ca
pacity. The mine is now owned by Jonn
w. Mackay and James L. Flood. The Al
lison Ranch mine has a unique history.
In the height of its prosperity it was pur-
chased by ]. B. Haggin and A. e. Davis.
The mine was a profitable investment. In
1866 it led all Nevada county mines, and
two years later it had paid over S3OOO,0OO in
dividends. One day a miners pick tapped
a vein of water and in few minutes the'
mine was flooded. The water poured in in
such volume that it could not be pumped
out, and the mine was abandoned. That
was 2S years ago, and all that time the
mine has remained full of water.
Eight years ago Mackay and Flood Sc
cured control of the property and now
they propose 20 pump the mine out. A
pumping plant with capacity of 1,OOOCJO
gallons a day will be put in, the work to
commence February l. 1t is estimated
that it will take two years to clear the
mine.
