WEE INCIDENT OF CIVIL WAR
Young Soldier CrsWIs Along Burned
Bridge At Night and Compels
Enemy to Retreat.

The bravest and coolest act that
came under my observation during
five years military service at the
time of the Civil war, was that of
Isaac 3. Hardy, q soldier nineteen
years of age, who has been for many
years resident of Santa Barbara.
March 3, 1865, Gen Sherman, on his
march through the Carolinas, arrived
before Cheraw, on the great Pedee
river Here the Seventeenth corps
with my regiment, the Sixty-fourth II
linois, known as the Yates Sharp
shooters, in the lead as skirmishers,
held the center, writes Brig Gen. J. S.
Reynolds in Los Angeles Times
was ordered to Immediately ad-
vance the skirmishers at a double
quick through the town to the west
end of the only bridge there over the
river. and, if possible. prevent the
enemy from destroying il. We reached
the bridge after the exchange of many
shots with fleeing squads of the en-
euy's cavalry. who had been guard

THREE DAYS ON PICKET LINE
Captain Relates Some Interesting In
cidents While in Front Of
Petersburg.

Some time about the middle of Feb
ruary, 1865, I was detailed as officer of
the picket for duty on the line in our
front. extending from the Weldon rail
road not far from the Yellow tavern
on our right, to where we Joined the
First brigade's pickets of our division
on the left Ny detail, as I now re
member, was about 65 men, some from
perhaps every regiment of our brig
ade, writes g NJ Eichelberg, captain
Company g, Sixth Maryland, in Ma
tionsl Tribune When we arrived at
the reserve picket post | was met by
q captain of the One Hundred and
Tenth Ohio, who had his reserve in
line to receive us. when he gave me
the number of men on duty My first
relief was soon detailed, and in charge
of q sergeant, accompanied by ser
geant who was to direct the new pick
cts to their posts and take charge of
the old picket The captain proceeded
to give me the orders to the officer of
the picket He told me of the placing
of videts at night and the persistent
custom of the Johnny pickets of trad
ing with the boys: and you BOYS who
ever did picket duty along the front
of our corps will remember how very
close our picket lines were about that
time The captain insisted the prac-
tice of trading should be broken up,
but in my mind ] right there secretly
decided | would have some rebel
I'll
certain videt whom I had in mind for
q trade | therefore selected from
my old company D, Sixth Maryland,
one John Travers, whom I knew was
equal to any emergency that might
arise, and had him detailed on first
relief on videt, with instructions to
trade anything the Johnnies proposed
Sergt. Joe. Eyler, also of Company D,
Sixth MARYLAND, was sergeant of the
first relief picket. and l posted him to
answer promptly any call from any of
the videts, but to positively disallow
from any of the videts Travers, of
course. excepted There were several
calls to the first relief videts from
the rebel pickets, but all efforts to
communicate for trade except from
Travers's post was sternly refused
John answered his man and allowed
him to approach His proposition was
to trade tobacco for coffee, salt or SOW
belly. John agreed provided he
brought him a Richmond paper of that
day's date Sergt FZyler took coffee
and salt, and returned later with q
fine lot of chewing and smoking to-
bacco, and a copy of the Richmond
Whig. We had some interesting read
ing the next day.
I should also state that in the in
structions given me. I was told that
every evening, before night, the reb~
els would call to US. saying: "Yanks,
are you ready to chop wood?" That no
arrangement had been entered into
for a detail from each picket to meet

bridge was on fire. and many of the
cavalry had to ride through the smoke
and blaze to escape.
The sharpshooters kept the enemy
away from the bridge while our pi-
oneers crossed over to the fire and
extinguished it Only charred
stringer was left of the burnt span
connecting with the shore abutment
When the pioneers returned and the
sharpshooters stopped firing, q line
of infantry formed on the opposite
bank of the river and commenced fir
ing on our men. Then We were or.
dered TO deploy the sharpshoote1 :
along our shore and drive the enemy
from their position. Our rifles did
good execution, and the enemy retired
out of range At dusk they again
moved down to the river and q brisk
fire was kept up from both sides till
near midnight, when it slackened to
only an occasional shot from either
side
About 1 o'clock we heard the report
of one of our Windsor rifles at or near
the farther end of the bridge, and this
report kept up as fast as lively sol
dier could load and fire. Our men
recognized the gun and, as the en-
emy had commenced brisk fire, our
entire line opened fire on the opposite
shore, avoiding sending their bullets
too near the bridge
Here follows young Hardy's mod
est narrative of his midnight trip into
the enemys lines
Il walked over to about the middle
of the bridge: then ] crouched down
and went forward very quietly keep
ing in the shadow of the railing. till

could not see any one right near the
bridge. but / could plainly see the
enemy lined up at the waters edge
down the river, and I thought it would
be fine to get flank FIRE on them.
Il discovered q single stringer that
connected the bridge with the land,
and crawled along this until

Collection of Short Newsy Items
 From Among the Mines of Arizona.

M Tucson OlaT. Iu. DloCh hao uh lowered fine body of ore in q new shaft at the Sink to Rise mine near Prescott. The new body is termed d banded vein, and besides being rich in gold carries an abundance of garneta. Aluminium deposits also occur in slabs weighing a few bounds to many hundred each.
 Benson Press: A. J. Pidgeon president of the Arizona and Michigan Development Co.,, left for Kansas City last Wednesday, to buy some articles of equipment for the mines. Last week he bought a two-stage air compressor, capa- ble of handling from four to five drills, which will be installed at the main working shaft. This will furnish air to run drills in the principal shafts of the group.
 Arizona Republican: J. c. Den- ton, of Bouse, Maricopa county, is in the city for the purpose of clos ing up and passing the final papers in the matter of the Pay Car mines which he has been engaged in promoting for the last year. He says he has everything moving dong satisfactorily in Bouse and the future looks bigger and much brighter than ever for the mines in that district. There is already con- Siderable enthusiasm in Bouse.
 Prescott Courier: With an ore reserve above the sixth level con servatively estimated at $3 3,000,000 the Blue mine ranks second only Do the great United Verde mines o Jerome as copper and gold prop erty. Crosscuts on the fifth anC sixth levels recently run show the ore body of an average thickness O twenty-eight feet with copper anC gold values higher than ever anti cipated by the management of th' Consolidated Arizona Smelling Go. owning the mine, or mining engi heers familiar with it since a mer' prospect.
 Arizona Gazette: F. A. Cramp Hon, general manager of the Ari bona Copper Belt Company a Wickenburg, is doing some yer, good work at the property. N work is at present being done il the main shaft, but the compan are developing by means of a shaf some new bodies of very rich sul phides, and it is the intention t crosscut at sufficient depth and GU several veins that run parallel wit the one at present being worked Later work will be resumed in tn main shaft. Mir. Champion expect to have the new mill installed b the first of May, and by that tim a considerable amount of fine ol will have been blocked out.
 Prescott Journal-Miner: Wit the firing up of the Tennessee boi CTS and the proposed changes railroad, the week has been u most active that the old camp hi experienced for some time.

Clifton Era: The Gold Belt is making good and the company is going to come out with flying col ors after their many trials and financial difficulties. Superinten- dent Bacon has uncovered a large body of high grade ore that has startled some of us. The discovery was made above the main shaft, and the work will now be concen- trated on this strike, as there seems to be enough of it in sight to keep the mill going for a long time Parties just from the mines say you can "shove gold pan in the dump anywhere and get a string of gold as long as your arm." This per haps, is an exaggeration, but the big clean up the other day goes tC show that the lessee is getting the goods.

 Yuma Sun: Don s. Rae, the finder of the rich silver ledge in the country between Mohawk and Kofa, came in last night, bringing some samples of the rock which is caus- ing so much interest. Mir. Rae and Charles DeCorse are sole owners of thirteen claims located on and ad- joining the outcropping of the ledge, and w. E. Marvin and Wm. McFatter have located claims in the neighborhood. The ledge has an astonishingly rich streak run ming through it. This streak, eigh- teen inches wide, has been followed 2S0 feet and some of the samples taken from it have assayed 2,OO0 ounces to the ton; a thousand samples assayed averaged 390 ounces.
 Prescott Courier: That the black sands of Lynx creek, long known for the rich gold values are also rich in precious metals has been proven by Isaac Teters, in charge of the construction of a dredging plant on the property of the SpecB Mining Company. Recent tests made by Mir. Teters show rich val ues in platinum, tungsten, cobal' and nickel in the sands of the creek and NJ. L. Buckley, genera manager of the company, is nov considering several processes of se
 paration with view of installing
 the one proving the most adaptabl'
 to the recovery of these metals il connection with the dredge nov under construction.
