Brigadier-GenerdI
Micah Jenkins.

Micah Jenkins, born Decembe,
1, 1885, was third son of Capt.
John Jenkins. of Edisto Island,
S. c. He entered the South
Carolina Military Academy in
the year 1851, at the age of fif-
teen, and graduated in 1854, with
the first honor of his class. The
following January he established
with his classmate, Asbury Cow
ard, now the honored Superin-
tendent of the South Carolina
Military Academy at Charleston,
the Military School at Yorkville,
s. c., and, young as he was, at
once exhibited the singular apti-
tude for command which his
after-careeE e signally illustrat-
ed. By a hsS aiding of firm
ness in discA alie and frank and
cordial sympathy with all who
sought his counsel or aid, he OBJ
tanned an early and lasting hold
upon the respect and affection of
his pupils, and his success as an
instructor was complete.
Before the war he had raised a
volunteer company at Yorkville,
under the name of the Jasper
Guards. This company formed
Fthe nucleus of the Fifth Regi-
Hent, S. G. ", which elected
lg) colonel without opposition,
nd was among the first to enter
he Confederate service. When
eneral Beauregard took COM
oand of the Army of the Potomac
was ordered to Virginia -hav-
g previously served on Sulli-
hns Island-and bore a,credita-
Ne part in the First Battle. of
MANASSAS, and, following General
johnson in his withdrawal to the
Peninsula, it participated in all
the privation of the spring cam
paign of 1862.
Upon the reorganization of the
twelve months volunteers, Gen.
eral Jenkins formed a new regi-
ment from the elite of the Fifth,
which was styled Jenkins Pal
metto Sharpshooters," and with
this command achieved his sue
cess at Williamsburg, and carried,
with one additional regiment of
R. H. Anderson's brigade, his
part of the field at Seven Pines.
This was, in many respects, one
sof the most daring and brilliant
incidents of this eventful war,
for he drove the enemy through
three of his camps, a mile and a
quarter beyond the fartherest
point attained by our troops, and
rested that night on the ground
he had won, in the tents of a
Massachusetts, regiment.
In command of General Ander-
sons brigade he shared the perils
and glory of the battles around
Richmond in June, 1862, and
after the engagement of Cold
Harbor and Frazer's Farm
brought out his Sharpshooters,
originally numbering upward of
1000 rank and file, with but 125
men; his personal aid having
been shot down by his side, and
J his own clothes being riddled
with bullets. His promotion at
once followed, and he proved
how well it was deserved by the
skill and gallantry which he soon
after isplayed at the Second
Battle of Manassas, where he
lost two Of his colonels, and his

surprise party was rendered Miss Mae
Rose at her home at Jackson Gate in
honor of her seventeenth birthday. A
very pleasant evening was spent in
dancing, singing, and playing games.
S. F. Dal Porto added much to the en-
joyment of all by using some members
of the company as hypnotic subjects,
who caused much laughter by their
comical actions while under the mystic
influence. AT midnight supper was an
nounced, and an hour was spent in eat
ing, joking, and toasting. At four

NOTES FROM
THE MINERS

DEL MONTE. = Geo. I. Wright,
superintendent of the Del Monte mine,
came down from that property early
this week, bringing down a bar of
bullion containing 81 ounces, valued at
$500, the product of the ten stamp mill
running internationally during the
month from rock in one of the upper
levels. The big tunnel is expected to
reach the fissure at any moment. 1t
has passed fully 20 feet beyond the
point where it was calculated to en-
counter the ledge. The rock has
changed materially, being softer and
breaking easier, and the flow of water
has largely increased. A breakage of
the compressor occurred last week,
otherwise the ledge would have been
penetrated ere this. Everything was
expected to be in running order again
last Wednesday. and few days more
is expected to show up something of
value.
u0 vi bIllS ulDo
to the dividend paying list is hailed
with the utmost satisfaction. A divi-
dend OF DC per share was declared this
month. amounting TO $4,000. This is
the first dividend declared since the
new works on the east shaft were
started several years ago. Another
important move is the grading for an
additional 40 stamps at the new mill
This was contemplated from the out
set. 1t is intended to concentrate all
the stamps at the east shaft, and do all
the hoisting through that shaft. The
new hoist is capable of hoisting twice
the amount Of ore needed for both mills,
if necessary. By this concentration of
stamps and hosting power, great
saving will be effected in wages of en-
ployes and material.

The above statement is incorrect.
Mr.. Nuner is still at the Globe hotel.
He had made arrangements to sell his
Interests here to parties in Lodi, and in
that event he may have contemplated
moving to Stockton. The failure of the
negotiations, however, necessarily led
to change in his plans. 1t can now
be stated definitely that Mr.. Nuner has
sold the Globe hotel business to Ed.
Hurst OF Jackson. The deal was con-

Buggy Accident.

A buggy from Newman S livery stable
was brought home Tuesday afternoon
is woefully dilapidated condition. The
rig was hired by L. Poggi, who, with
his wife and daughter-in law, Mrs Paul
Poggi, went out on drive toward the
Oneida. AT jackson Gate, in trying to
turn out at dangerous place the bug
gy was capsized, all the occupants be-
ing thrown out. Mrs L. Poggi escaped
with some slight bruises about the arm.
Mr. Poggi was run over by one of the
wheels, and bruised up so that he was
confined to his bed the following day:
he is not seriously hurt, however. Mrs
Paul Poggi sustained a fracture of the
small bone of the right leg, and also a
bad cut over the right eye. She will
be under the DOCTORS care for some
time, although getting along as well as
could be expected. The upper works
OF the buggy were hopelessly demoral-
lied, but the running gear came out of
the ordeal intact.

New Railroad Incorporated.

The lone and Eastern Railroad Com

a capital stock of 81, ZOO, 600, of which
S14, 900 is subscribed. The purpose of
the company is to build road fourteen
miles in length from lone to point on

amount of stock they have subscribed
are jackson Dennis, $500; Wilford

Call. April l3.
From this we infer that the Amador
Traction Company which has applied
for franchise from the board of super
visors, is out of the race, inasmuch as
Jackson Dennis, who was named as
general manager of the other corpora
tion, is the mover of the more recent
organization. Both j. Dennis and
Wilford Dennis have been in San Fran
cisco on this business for the past two
weeks.
We may also state that a repre-
sentative Of the American River Elec-
trio Company was in Jackson this week
looking into the proposition of an cleo
trio line between lone and the belt.
Other parties, representing so it is
claimed, well known railroad interests,
have also visited this section on the
same business. The railroad agitation
has had the effect of drawing attention
of capitalists to the possibilities of this
region from railroad standpoint, and
The general opinion seems to be that it
will lead to the construction of line

The Sank Centre ball team went to
Glenwood on Tuesday and played a
game with the local team at that place.
1t was an errorless game for our boys,
as will be seen by the score. Gilchrist
pitched about as fine ball as you sell
dom see, the Glenwood batters could
do nothing with his curves, and as a
result only one man ever saw third
base. That is the kind of games that
the fans enjoy. The Sank Centre

and they will give st. Cloud battle
that they little anticipate.
