An Incident of the Battle of Chancel-
 lorsville.
 On the morning of the second day of the battle, when an attack was made on the enemy's lines. from some cause un- known to the writer, Rodes Brigade, composed of the Sd. 9th, 9th 18th and 18th Alabama Regiments moved forward in advance of the brigades on our right and left. broke the line of infantry immedi- ately in our front. and drove from their redoubts a large force of artillery.
 Taking my position behind these re- doubts and feeling entirely secure from danger I fired several shots at the flee Ing foe. In the midst of the confusion in- claent to the charge over the rough ground. my regiment, the 9th Alabama, had filed to the right and found myself fighting alone. Presently I discovered the enemy approaching almost directly in my rear. Seeing my perilous situation, l leaped over the breastworks and decided to surrender. While standing for mo- ment contemplating the horrors of Northern prison, comrade a little to my left, whom I had not before observed, also leaped over the works with the in- tention of making his escape through a narrow space of about one hundred yards still open in our rear. The risk was great, but preferring death to capture. at once struck out and followed my hy- ing eomrade. he running about thirty paces ahead of me. The minnie-balls were coming thickly and thought every moment would be my last.
 Presently saw my comrade fall, and, as I approached. he appealed to me most pIteously in tone I never shall fClget, saying, "oh, brother, help me-" could not resist a petition so earnest and so touching: feeling that there was no pos sible chance for me to escape the thought came like an inspiration, 1t Is death any way, and I will die helping somebody Throwing down my gun l gathered fim up and carried him safely to the rear, laid him down under the shade of a tree, dressed his wounds as best I could, pro- vided him with a canteen full of fresh water, bade him good bye and rejoined my regiment.
 Then I began to think the matter over and remembered that the moment lifted up my wounded comrade the enemy had ceased to fire: not another bullet came that way nor was in any manner mo- tested. although I passed in less than forty yards of their lines, so took com fort in the thought that in attempting 10 save my comrades life. had saved my own.
 I remember he told me that he belonged

MAIL ROUTE.

H. L. Benner. who is post
master at Stanley Basin. came
down from Ketchum on last eve
ning's train. He, with his part
uer, Mr.. Meacham, last year
bought out the ranch and build
ings at Moses place, on Salmon
river below the big Sawtooth
lake. He and two other men
were two and one-half days MAX
ing the trip on sEowshoes from
his place to Ketchum. They ar
rived in Ketchum yesterday at
1870 o'clock a. m. Thursday
night they got no sleep at all.
Friday morning they stopped at
Russian Johns place and got
their own breakfast. Then came
on down to Ketchum, arriving
there as above stated.
Mr.. Benner brought out the
mail and will take back that now
at Ketchum. He has made three
trips this winter with the mail.
The last time he returned from
Ketchum he was five days and a
half making the trip. This was
due to the soft snow, which made
shoeing slow and laborious work.
But on the last run out the shoe
ing was fine-the best it has been
this winter.
He says an effort is being made
to have the mail route to the
Basin established from Robinson,
which is twenty miles distant.
By this route the mail will be
three or four days later reaching
the Basin than if the route were
from Ketchum. Wayne Darling.
ton is interested in the Robinson
route, and is doing everything
possible to have the mail go thai
way.
Mr.. Benner says the snow al
Galena is about five and a hall
feet deep, gradually decreasing
in depth as the lower attitudes
are reached. On the other side
of the Galena summit it is about
the same.
About one hundred men have
wintered at Stanley, having al
been on the payrolls of the min
ing companies operating in tina
vicinity. Next spring he look:
for renewed activity in mining
all over that region.-Hailey

RICHER THAN LOON.

Word comes from Lewiston,
Idaho, that there is a big excite
ment there over the rich free
milling ore strike made recently
in the Cave gulch district. The
strike was made by Hiram Wund-
ram on Cave gulch, five miles
above the mouth of Grand Raide
river, on the Idaho side, and 80
miles above Lewiston. A five
foot ledge has been discovered,
and it is estimated that the dis
coverer has already. taken out
ore to the value of $1,000 to s., :
900. In a day Mr.. Wundram
pounded pounded out with a NOR
tar and pestle gold enough to fill
a FIVE pound lard can. The lead
has been traced for 5000 feet.
The ledge upon which the recent
strike has been made was first
located many years ago, and at
different points considerable
work has been done in the dis
trict, but unfortunately although
rich float rock had been picked
up the lead could never be loca-
ted. Mr.. Wundram has loaded
a pack train of four horses with
ore valued at $4,000. He was
working under a grub stake fur
nished by Joseph Walker and M,
L. Smith of Lewiston. 1t is ex-
pected there will be a big rush
in the district.
