uAr.uABLE GRAPHITE DE-
PoSIT Is ENCOUNTERED

A. J. Woodward, who owns an ex-
.snsive deposit of graphite an Wal
oonvon. or what is termed the Antelope
mining district, near Round Mountain,
"a in W says the Tonopah Bonanza.
Mr. Woodward WINS Is claims in
,h;s district and has done considerable
work in developing the deposit. He
has driven a 60-foot crosscut and a
az. foot drift to more fully determine
the extent of the body. A dixie can
no traced along tn esurface for a dis
lance of 2,4OO feet and is fully 400
feet wide. From all appearances it
seems to be a mountain of graphite.
Crystalline, steel gray and flake
graphite have been discovered, as has
. large quantity of pure carbon. The
district furnishes a suficiency of
wood and water and the mineral can
easily be transported to Millers by an
excellent wagon road which is down
grade all the way.
uraphite is quoted at six cents per
pound and when the property is prop.
erly developed, it should prove a mint
for the owner.
Another deposit Of an unknown min
eral has been discovered not far dis
tant from the graphite, and up to the
present time Mr.. Woodward has been
unable to ascertain the character Of it.
Many assays have been sent to experts
which have bafled them. He will send
a specimen to the bureau of mineralogy
at Washington for a proper analysis.

OF che Confederates some fought
until they were killed; more, how
ever, acted as If thrown into a panic
by the wild charge, and they ran for
their lives. Undoubtedly they sup
posed that a strong reinforcement
had reached the Union line, and that
this had caused the sudden attack.
The brave Maine regiment cap
tured three hundred prisoners, and
returned with them to the old posi-
ton. where they stayed until in the
last hours OF that terrible summers
afternoon the victorious little COM
mand was thrust into the struggle
for the adjoining hill, Round Top.
Concerning their leader In this ex-
ploit, 1t may be added that, besides
receiving the Medal Of Honor at Get
tysburg, he was afterward promoted
In the field by General Grant; and he
so distinguished himself as a briga-
dier that he was brevetted a major
general in 1865, "for conspicuous gal
lantry in action" After the war he
led, and is still leading, highly i'm
portant public career In his native
State Of Maine.

Colonel Chamberlain with drawn

Outnumbered more than three to one,
their position was terrible. and 1t was

Smoke walled them in and TO some
extent concealed from the enemy the
terrible execution they were making
upon their thin, gaping battle front.
However, their Colonel never

verify this strong suspicion, General
Warren made his way as rapidly as
possible to battery at the foot of the

The Captain OF the rife battery
did so. and as the shot, whistling,
passed over the wood, 1t must have
caused everyone of the concealed
Rebels to look In the direction OF the

musket barrel and bayonet revealed
to the Northern general the presence
OF a long line OF the enemy far out

stayed there until he was killed. The
passage OF those six guns through
roadless woods and up among the
Iutting boulders Of the height was
marvellous; nothing but the dash and
eagerness Of the men to get into ac-
ton. together with their incredibly
skilful driving, could have planted

The infantry were not far behind.
Among the regiments closing in to
seize the hilltop were the Forty-sey-
enth and the Fifteenth Alabama or

Union army, the Twentieth Maine,
commanded by Colonel Chamberlain,
which was an usually small regiment,
numbering only about three hundred
men. This little force had no sooner
reached the portion Of the hillside
assigned to them, where they stood
panting from their eXertions, than
they saw a dense mass Of Confeder-
ates coming toward them; for the
two strong Confederate regiments,
containing a thousand men, had been
ordered TO turn the Union flank at ex-
actly that position. Discerning In a
flash the grave peril Of his command
the Maine colonel quickly ordered five
companies to swing back until they
formed a line at a right angle to the
