Glorious Gettysburg.

The battle on the first day was re-
markable not only for the acts OF
great personal courage. but also for
the most heroic fighting on the part
OF organizations. The 147th New

In the head. Maj. George Harvey then
commanded. The regiment fought the
Forty-second Mississippi, and when
the position became untenable and the
brigade was ordered to the rear, the
command TO retreat was not received
by the 147th until the other regiments
Of the brigade had gone. The 147th then
stood alone. and not only fought the
regiment to its front, but was exposed
to the fire OF the Second Mississippi,
and the Fifty-Ninth North Carolina
on the right flank. The fight was
close and deadly. but Harvey and his
men stood up to the work until the
orders reached them to retreat, which
they did in good order, with colors
flying. The loss of officers and men
was appalling. but hardly had the
splendid organization reached the new
position than 1t became engaged in
resisting the attack of EwelIs corps
and assisted in capturing a part of

Thunder Mountain, the new Idaho
gold Geld, Is the most promising min
eral region in the United States. Tho
richness OF this country was not known
until late ia the fall of 1901, after heavy
SHOWS had closed all avenues by which
the region might be reached except
upon srowsboes. Notwithstanding this
fact, Colonel w. H. Dewey of Idaho,
and others who have had wide expert
ence in mining, have expended vast
sums in the purchase of undeveloped
claims. The surface indications are
marvelously rich. Three gold bearing
lodges, from 100 to 300 feet. run
through mountain parallel to each
other. In the Dewey mine, this vast
deposit has values running from 81 to
"a, 900 per ton, and the plates Of the 10
stamp MIL which runs on the ore have
to be cleaned of their accretions of
gold every six hours.

eral zone covers a large section of
hitherto unexplored country, and is
about ITO miles from a railroad.
There are five routes leading to the
Thunder Mountain country, viz: via
Ketchum, Mackay, Boise and Weiser,
Idaho, aud Bedrock, Montana, all on
the Oregon Short Line railway. A
great rush TO this mecca for miners is
predicted, and ION to Thunder Noun

which will probably be between May
