A RICH STRIKE.
SALE OF BONDS ORDERED
STOPPED.

There has been unusual activity for
the last few days among the officials
of the Pittsburg and San Juan Mining
Company, of Pittsburg, Pa, as re-
suit Of a rich strike in the Orel!a tun-
nell While the officials are not in
clined to talk freely regarding their
good luck, the fact has leaked out that
a large vein of extremely rich ore has
been struck. 1t is rumored that it
runs over one hundred dollars ton.
The prompt action Of the directors in
stopping the sale of bonds, which the
company has been floating for the
purpose of raising sufficient funds for
the erection Of stamp mill, indicates
that the reported strife is reality.
Last evening, during brief inter.
view, one Of the directors remarked
that they did not consider 1t advisable
TO continue the sale Of bonds, as II
was not necessary to burden. the com
pany with a big Indebtedness and that
the balance OF the money required tt
complete the stamp mill would be Sc
cured by the sale of a limited amour
of stock. 1t is understood that tn,
company expects to pay dividends II
less than six months, and that the,
have already over twenty-five thor
sand tons of ore averaging over te
. dollars q ton, ready for the MILL TIL
company owns over two hundre
acres of the richest mineral land !
Colorado, and as the principal owner
: are well known Pittsburgers, the SUI
cess of the enterprise is assured. A
present the headquarters OF the con
pany are located at 40S Penn avenu
Pittsburg, Pa, where information ca
be obtained regarding the price
stock. AS only a limited amount
stock will be offered for sale, on

Another Veteran Mustered Out.

Another good soldier of the Civil War mus
tered out. Company of the Purnell Legion
loses another in the person of A. Wayne Heeden
who died Saturday. the sth inst, at the home of
Mrs. Elite Sidwell near Blue Ball, where he had
been making his home for number of years,
aged 70 years. Wayne" was blacksmith by
trade and worked at it both before and after the
War, and it is said was a master mechanic. He
was enrolled at Pikesville Arsenal in October.
1861, and served three years; re.enlisted and
served until the end of the war, excepting a few
months after being wounded at the Weldon R,
Road. He was q soldier of the first class
always cheerful, and ready for duty of any
kind. The writer being of the same Company,
can truthfully say that he possessed staying
qualities in battle that not every one could
boast of While he was uneducated and was
never known to send or receive a letter during
the war he was quick witted and well able to
take care of himself in any emergency. In
this connection 1 would like to quote one
amusing incident which can readily be verified.
1t happened while the command was lying near
a place called Catlett Station, Va. The station
was small wooden structure set upon piles
driven in the ground, leaving space about two
feet between the ground and the floor. and was
pretty well filled with sick and wounded so'-
diers, Wayne among the lot. The second night
after our arrival there, and very dark, stormy
night it was, Stewards Rebel Cavalry thought
it the proper thing to make one of their raids
and see what they could gather up, and up they
came, and such racket as they made was a
surprise to the natives. and captured all who
were in or about the building. who were able to
stand up, Wayne among the rest, and hurriedly
got in line for trip to Libby Prison Being a
wet. cold night Wayne bethought himself that
he had left his overcoat in the building and
politely asked the commanding officer if he
could step inside and get it. The request was
granted, and Wayne went in. and out the back
door he went quick as a flash. and crawied
under the building afore mentioned set on
piles. The night being so dark no one could
possibly see him. and as there was no time to
lose they quickly got away with the rest, some
IL or 15, and on to Richmond. When morning
came some of our boys went early down to the
station to see how things were, and were agree
ably surprised to find Wayne standing in the door
with gun at rest. Some one ventured to remark.
"Well Wayne they didn't.get you last night
With a shrug of his shoulders and a smile he re-
piled, with one of his familiar sayings. by the
Fernal, I'll hold this place at all hazards" And
this saying was the bywOrd of our boys until the
end of the war; particularly when in tight places.
had not thought of this occurrence for a long
time, but attending his funeral and being one of
the pall-bearers, the occurrance came to my
mind so wildly that ] thought l must tell it.
His body was buried at Moore's Chapel and was
attended by number of old veterans, and Com
pany E loses one more.

After one hundred and thirteen years
have elapsed since his burial, the bones
of John Paul Jones have been dug up and
are to be brought back to America and
reinterred with tardy honors in the
National Cemetery at Arlington. Re
peated efforts had been make to find the
place of burial of this great patriot and
bravest of naval commanders, and it is
due to the persistence of the American
Consul at Paris that the search has at
last been crowned with success. and tina,
this adopted son of America. who was re-
jected as traitor and buccaneer by his
native country, but in return compelled
them to strike their colors to him, will be
accorded the burial houors fitting to his
memory.
