GRANT, BONANZA.
Flat Orc BODY Followed Until 1t Has Now
Assumed Almost IA Vertical Shape.

There Is little question now that the
rich ore shoot which Otto =. GrantZ
discovered two months ago north OF
Lead City. Dakota. will turn into YER
teal When first discovered. it was
perfectly fiat and about four feet
thick. The excavation made since the
first discovery Is about eighty feet
long and in the upper end the shoot
has turned over to almost II perpendlc-
ular position and the rock has become
too hard to mine without blasting. Mr..
GrantZ confidently expects to find his
ore shoot developed into II wide verti-
cal in a few more feet.
The richest ore taken from the mine
came from II spot where the ledge is
commencing to turn over. which shows
that the values will be retained when
the main vertical is reached.
Black Hills people are expecting to

Deep Shafts Being Sunk In Glpin County.
Miners in Gilpin county are going
deeper. Many of the mines are now
being worked from loo to 1.400 feet,
and the ore bodies are fully as large
and rich in the precious metals US at
any point between those depths and the
surface. and acting on the theory that
values increase with depth, the mine
owners are not afraid to spend their
money in putting UP machinery that
will allow them to work to greater
depth than has ever before been reach
ed In that county or the state.
The machinery that is to be placed

There have been various stories
written about the stealing of the Ba1-
timore and Ohio Rail Road engines
at Martinsburg. w. Va, during the
rebellion and their transfer across the
country for service on southern rail-
roads by Col. Thomas Sharp, who Is
still living in Ohio. Recently, an Of
ncial OF the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
Road made some inquiries OF old EN- :
ployes who were at Martinsburg ut
the time the incident happened and
they say that on June 10, 1861, 200
men Of Genl Stonewall Jackson's
command were detailed to destroy the
Baltimore and Ohio's equipment at
Martinsburg. They piled wood and
coal over Al engines and nearly 4O0
cars and then set fire to them. Only
ten or twelve of the engines, however.
were seriously damaged, and these not
by the fire, but because the water was
first let out of the boilers. Col. Sharp
arrived in Martinsburg on August IS.
1861, and remained there until the fol-
lowing March, engaged in removing
engines, machinery, etc. He took
eight engines across the country over
the turnpike. either to Staunton, Win
chester or Strasburg, land there are
some historians who disagree on this
init 81 horses being required to haul
each engine. He also removed all tn g
duplicate parts of engines and cars
and all the rough iron at the station.
and took away all machinery and
tools which were afterward used in tn 9
Southern arsenals. The country around
Martinsburg is extremely hilly and the
work Of getting the engines over the
country roads required considerable
engineering ability. 1t has been cur
rently reported in late years that one
OF the locomotives was the Winans
camel-back No. 80 which at that time
was numbered II. but Col Sharp did
not care for this class of engines and
took only ten wheel and passenger en-
gines. There was only one eight wheel
locomotive taken ana that was No. 81.
Some years after the war Col. Sharp
was employed on the Baltimore and
Ohio Rail Road as Master of Trans
portation.

London, Oct. 3O-General Whites
dispatch, which was dated 4:3O p. m.
to-day, reads:
Il employed all the troops here ex-
cept the obligatory garrison before the
works. l sent n mountain battery, the
Royal Irish Fusileers and the Glouces-
ters to take up a position ON the hills to
clear my left flank. The force moved
at IL O'Clock yesterday evening and
during some night firing the battery
mules stampeded with some of the
guns, which, however, hope to recov-
er. These two battalions have not yet
returned, but are expected this after
noon.
II detailed two brigade divisions of
field artillery and five battalions of in.
fantry, aided by cavalry, under Gener-
al French, to attack n position upon
which the enemy yesterday mounted
guns.
1--WE found this position evacuated,
but our force was attacked with con-
siderable vigor by what l believe were
General Joubert's troops. They had
many guns and showed in great num-
bers. Our troops were all in action AMI
we pushed the enemy back several
miles, but did not succeed in reaching
his laager. Our losses are estimated at
between eighty and 100, but those Of
the enemy must have been much great
er, the firing of our guns appearing
very effective.
After being in action several hOuI s
withdrew our troops and they re-
turned unmolested to their canton-
ments. The enemy are in great num-
bers and their guns range further than
our field guns.
II now have some naval guns which
have temporarily silenced and 1 hope
will permanently dominate the enc
my's best guns, with which he has
been bombarding the town at a range
of over 5000 yards"
London, Oct. 31.-It Is believed that
the naval brigade which arrived Mon
day at Ladysmith consists of 100 men
from the British cruiser Powerful, with
some of the Philomel's four-inch quick
firers. with Il range of 10000 yards,
firing forty-five-pound shell.
The battery that was lost is probably
one consisting of six two and one-half-
