ment were three companies from Au-
gusta, one from Savannah and ono
from Columbus, and one from each OF
the following countless Chattahoo-
chez, Wilcox, Pulaski, Columbia,
Fayette and Clayton. To the latter 1

posed mainly of young men and it is
doubtful if either army could boast of
command which altogether was made
up of better or braver men. We were
fortunate in being trained and COM
manded by those superb soldiers,
Generals Lafayette, MoLaws, Alfred
Cumming and Colonel Leroy Napier,
ell West Pointers. Their rigid dis
cipline and fine character of the men
made up q regiment whose courage,
daring exploits and constant hard SER
vice was unsurpassed. We had gone
through the SHOWS, storms and bloody
battles of Tennessee and were lying
near Gordonsville when, on the morn
ing of May 9Th, 1864, we were called
up before daybreak and hastily falling
into line, we marched with quick
step in tho direction of the enemy.
After having gone four or FIVE miles,
we met them in very thick forest of
young pines and cedars. We quickly
formed in line of battle, but by the
time we got in our places, the bullets
were pouring through our ranks like
hail storm; had fired one shot and
was reloading my gun when was

ball, which broke through my skull,
but after it got through the skull it
seemed to have struck something more
solid than bone, for it rebounded back
in the direction from which it came.

glaring blaze of fame and ten thou

During the past week returns
have been received from the Selby
Smelling Company to the total
amount Of $3l ,977 O5. This is net,
after deduction of railroad freight
and treatment charges
The three highest returns were as
follows, calculations being based on a
price of 60 cents per or, for silver
and $40 per OF. for gold eE
A small shipment of ], $50 pounds
from lease No. u, commonly known
as 'the gold streak, gave return
of l42 ozs. in silver and So 80 ozs. in
gold, or total value of $l092 60 per
ton.
Another small shipment of 1900
pounds from lease No "a gave a re-
turn of $40 ozs. in silver and 10. 40
ozs. in gold, or total value s599 40
per ton.
A shipment of 1920 pounds from
lease No. 80 gave a return of 437
ozs. in silver and .05 ozs in gold or a
total value of $403 90 per ton.
The largest individual returns were,
to lease No, Al, SO, 32O 80. To the

beginning Sept 3 and ending Oct. 3

the first month in which the net re-
turns received have exceeded 500,

this amount of shipping ore mined,
but which could not be shipped, be-
sides large amount of second grade
milling ore of which no account has
been taken The gross produc ton
for the month of October, including
both shipping and milling ore, will
undoubtedly exceed a quarter of a
million dollars. If the production
continues to increase at the present
ratio, the gross PRODUCTION of both
shipping and milling ore for the
month of December will probably
reach a half a million dollars. This
is a staggering possibility, but it will
probably have to be met, and the
sooner we accustom ourselves to
thinking about it the better.

The entertainment for the benefit
of the Sunday School, the program Of
which was published in our last issue,
came off Friday night at the Miners
Exchange Hail. and was a pro
nounced and notable success II is
pleasant to know that Tonopah is ad-
vancing socially as we'll as mater
ally, as indicated by the entertain
meut Friday night, which would have
been a credit to any old settled com
munity, and for which the ladies Of
Tonopah, who engineered the scheme,
deserve the thanks of the community.
Our space will permit US only a
brief resume of the various perform
ances The entertainment was
opened by an overture by the orches-
ira, after which occurred the May
pole dance, which was a dream Of
lovelinesS and au tistic success from
any point of view E&F
The chorus, my Old Kentucky
Home, by Miss Lottie Stimler and
assistants, was well rendered, fol
lowed by recitation by Mrs. Eason
and Dutch song by Mr., Shewey and
Miss Queen Whitford. Miss Whit.
fordS acting IN this production was u
tirst-class star performance
Next followed recitation by Allie
Alphin and a song and dance by
Hazel Kinzie. As a Juvenile per-
former little Hazel cannot be beaten,
and the shower of silver which was
thrown on the stage attested the ap-
probation Of her performance by the
audience. ..t...gf
The comic song bv Mr.. Shewey was
loudly encored. Nr. Kinzie's recita-
tion was well delivered and duly ap-
preciated and was followed by song
by Mr. Calnmosi, who is good
singer, but was unable to do himself
justice with the selection he sang.
A recent arrival, Mr.. Cohen, con
tributed song which was appreci-
ated, and after Il song by the quar-
tette, composed Of Mr., and Mrs.
kinzie, Miss Whitford and Mr.,
Bishop, the musical exercises were
closed for the dance which followed.
Mrs. Harry Ramsey graciously
presided over the entertainment and
everything passed off smoothly
We were unable to procure state
ment of the receipts and expendi-
lures.

WATER GALORE.
An Abundant Supply at Rye Patch for
all Purposes.

Clay Peters returned on Tuesday
from few days visit to Belmont and
vicinity. Being requested by the
BONANZA to give an account of his
observations on the trip, Mr.. Peters
said: .....
! accompanied the Mesdames But
Ter, Red and Bissell as far as Bel
mont on their journey to the Butler
ranch in the northern part of the
county. The Buffers own a little
stock ranch which is very pleasantly
and picturesquely situated in the
Monitor Valley, and which they had
made into a comfortable home, and
where they lived quietly and happily
before they made the great discov-
cry which has brought them both
fame and fortune. n#. b.. -...
En- route to Belmont | passed
through Rye Patch, the proposed
source of the water supply for Tono-
pah, and | was greatly surprised
and astonished at what ] saw there.
| had no idea that there was such
large supply of water so near and ac-
cessible to the camp. A supply of
water can be easily developed there
for all the reduction works that may
be needed to treat the ores of Tono-
pah, and supply a city of ten thou
sand population in addition. Over "a
large extent Of territory rye and
pamas grass and brush grow rankly,
while in places can be seen clumps of
willows higher than mans head.
Water of fine quality can be obtained
anywhere at IA depth of about three
feet below the surface. There is a
little alkali in the surface seepage
water, but at depth of about three
feet flow of pure water is encoun-
tered so strong as to interfere with
further sinking The deepest well at
Rye Patch is eighteen feet and con
tains fifteen feet of water. Out of
this well 800 head of cattle were
watered last winter without diminish
ing the supply The fact is that Rye
Patch is the sump of the great Raj.
ston Valley, which drains large ex-
tent of country, including some high
mountain ranges can see no eng
neering difficulties in the way of
bringing this water into Tonopah,
and the supply is practically mex
haustible.
Belmont shows many evidences 0f
past prosperity and grandeur in de-
caying mills, abandoned mines, etc.
While the camp is decidedly has
been, there are few people left
there yet, and they are as sociable
and desirable people to meet as one
will find in many IA days travel They
have u court house there which would
be credit to any county in any
state. Everybody there is greatly
interested in Tonopah and its welfare,
and are very desirous of having a
direct mail route and stage line es-
tablished between the county's cap
ital and its largest and most pros
porous town, This is a matter in
which both Tonopah and Belmont are
interested in for several reasons, and
steps should be taken at once to
bring 1t about.

There was another old custom which
prevailed in the Virginia. Senate within
the easy recollection of young men. y
large snuff-box used to sit on the Clerk S
desk. in front of the Speakers chair.
Whenever a senator desired to sneeze he
was at liberty to walk up to the desk
and take pinch of snuff. The box
was kept supplied under the direction Of
the Clerk or the Scrgeant-at-tarms. That
old snuf-box remained on the Clerk s
desk long after the practice Of snuff
taking had passed. 1t would be a relic
most interesting 10 the midest of anti
qrarians.
A snuff-box and quill pens can hardly
be ina sined in the State Senate Of to-day.

pleasure of sneez:ng, and the typewriter,
manipulated by fair fingers in the base
