WAS A GREAT SOLDIER.
Gen Alfred Pleasanton, Who Died
Recently at Washington
Himself as q Cavalry
Leader During the Civil War
For Years He Led the Life
of a Hermit.

Gen. Alfred Pleassnton, one of the
most distinguished cavalry command
ers of the late war, died at his apart
ments in the Greacon house in WASH
ington.
Gen. Pleasanton for the last seven
years lived an almost hermit's life in
Washington, not moving out of his
apartments and denying himself to
all persons save a few of his most in
innate friends. He felt that he had
not been we'll treated by the govern
ment after his distinguished services
in the war, and this, together with his
i'll health, preyed upon his mind ans
made him rather eccentric. His only
attendants were his private Secretary,
Mr.. Murphy, and Henrietta Roane, a
faithful colored nurse, who were with
him when he passed away.
Alfred Pleasanton was born in Wash
ington, d. C., June Z, 1924, and graduated
from the West Point Military academy
in 1914, then 20 years of age. He served
in the Mexican war and was breveted
first lieutenant "for gallant and meri-
torious conduct" in the battles of Palo
Alto and Resaca de la Palma. Suisse
quently he was on frontier duty. He
was commissioned first lieutenant in
1s49 and captain in 1855. He was act
ing adjutant general to Gen. William
S. Harvey during the Sioux expedi-
ton and adjutant general from 1856 to
1860 in the campaign against the Semi
noles in Florida, and also in the opera
tions in Kansas, Oregon and Washing
ton territory. He commanded a regi-
ment in the march from Utah to Wash
ington in the autumn of 1861 and was
commissioned major of the Second, cav
airy in February of the following year.
Serving through the peninsular cam
paign, he became brigadier general of
volunteers in July of the same year,
and commanded the division of cavalry
of the army of the Potomac that fol-
lowed Lees invading army into Mary
land. He was engaged at Bonnesbor

HALF CAT, HALF RABBIT.
odd Freak Owned by New Jersey Bar
room Keeper.

Ouu rrehk owneu Dy We" Jersey DUR
room Keeper.
Nature cuts many queer capers but no
more strange example of her oddities
can be seen in this section than a pet
which is owned by barroom keeper in
Lambertville, N. j., says an exchange.
The animal is half cat and half rabbit
and has some of the habits and nature
of both animals, while its anatomy con-
sists of peculiar commingling of each.
The freak from it's head to the middle
Of its body looks like an ordinary kitten,
the head and front paws being perfect
ly formed. The headquarters of the
animal are those of a rabbit, with a
typical "cotton tail" The front feet
are armed with sharp, curling claws,
while the hind feet are equipped with
long, straight claws for use in running.
The fur is white, gray, black and yell
low, in spots, and in quality is in places
soft, in others harsh.
To see it run one would think it rab-
bit, except for its short ears. When not
in motion it squats on its hind legs just
as a rabbit does and if piece of cab
bage or apple be given it it will take
it in its front paws and nibble it con-
tentedly. This strange animal, if dis
turbed or maddened, eyinces at times all
the nature of cat, while again it will
run away and hide behind any object of
shelter. 1t is now about three months
old

about June l of last year when he commenced work on the above mines and up to February 8 he had done 2790 feet of work in sinking and drifting on the claims, all of the work being in blasting ground. The shafts and drifts are all of uniform size being 4x6a feet in the clear. Of this work ,750 feet of it has been done on the Surprise mine, 6ll feet being done on the 300 foot level of the mine. The Gold Note has had 990 feet of work done on it, and the balance of work was done on outside claims. Included in the work on the Gold note is a double compartment shaft which has been sunk to the 200 foot level and is well timbered and lined. Work will be resumed on the shaft the first of March and it will be continued to a depth of 500 feet, from which point levels will be run. A fine body of sulphide ore has been encountered in the Gold Note mine which gives assay values running all the way from S56 to S142 in gold per ton and the outlook is very promising. The surprise mine carrles a large breast of quartz, but the ore continues rather low grade. Morse Darnell is foreman of the mine and the work done under his charge is excellent. The shaft is said to be one of the finest pieces of mining work ever done in the territory. Mir. Gillette is a practical miuing man and he is developing these properties in a practical and business like manner. Before he ever thinks of erecting 8 mill he proposes to demonstrate thoroughly to his own satisfaction that he has a mine and that the property IS such as will justify a mill.
 The Co-operstive Mining and Milling Company, whose property adjoins the Gold Note on the north, has resumed work repairing their pipe line.

They expect to be able to start up their mill again within few days.
