A Confederate Veteran.

The following in reference to Mr..
M. Blount, of this city, we take from
a Suffolk, Va, newspaper:
"Mr. Miles Blount, of Bamberg, S.
c., is here visiting his brother Mr..
H. G. Blount, and his sister, Mrs.
H. A. Spruill. Mr.. Blount came
over to be with the old vets. at
their great celebration at Norfolk
some days ago. He saw much SER
vice in the army of the Confeder-
acy, having enlisted at the first op-
portunity and remainded in the
ranks until the end. He was stand
ing guard on the iron-clad ram
Albermarle, at Plymouth, N. c., on
the night of October 9th, 1864,
when Lieutenant w. B. Cushing ex-
ploded a torpedo under the historic
craft and sent her to "Davie Jones's
locker" The assault was made just
after midnight and guard mount from
the river to the station on the sunken
South field where a picket station
had been established was supposed
to be returning. The shrewd Cush-
ing chose this time as being most
propitious because no doubt he ex.
pected his launch to be mistaken for
the one used in the guard mount and
of course would not be fired upon so
readily. Hence it was that his whole
force was upon the raft surrounding
the Albermarle before they were hail
ed with a more forceful salutation
than "ship ahoy," then it was toe
late, for it was impossible to depress
the great guns on the ship enough to
do effective service against the enemy
On the 31st of October on beautiful
day, the federal forces attacked Ply.
mouth, and captured it for the last
time. The old Albermarle was subse-
quently raised and towed to Norfolk,
where she was stripped and sold 18th
October, 1864"

NEW POWER PLANT
ON PRICE RIVER
Coal and Coke Company Be-
gins Extensive Improve
mentS in Carbon County.

improvements costing $4,000 We're
started during the week at Kenilworth,
in Carbon county, by the Independent
Coal & Coke company.
They include the building of a power
plant on the Price river four miles
from the mining camp, by which a
water supply of 100000 gallons per
day will be pumped against a 1000
foot head 10 the town. and lighting
plant in KenilwOrth, which will sup
ply the town and the mines with every
electrical facility.
The engineering feat entailed in the
running of the pipe line IS said TO be
an unprecedented one. In the course
of four miles the water will be forced
TO an elevation OF 1900 feet. To ac-
complish this. two 125-horsepOwer
steel boilers. and two pumps. with a
combined capacity of 400 gallons per
minute. will be installed. A concrete
power house. 38x4O feet, is already
under construction on the Price river
for this purpose.
With the lighting plant in operation
at the town and IN the mines, a novel
system of discharging blast shots by
electrical current will be established
This will do away with the old system
of setting off fuses and the danger at
tendant upon it. By means of an cleo
trical button. blasts can be set off in
any part of the mines from without.

GET ENOUGH MONEY
TO PAY EXPENSES
American Party ExtOrtion Sue
CeedS in Getting Coin for
the Campaign. Z

Through contributions forced from
salOOnmen, gamblers, denizens of the
half-world and from true patriots. the
American party campaign managers
managed to scrape almost enough
money together yesterday TO pay or
the party workers. who failed in their
efforts TO elect the American party
county ticket last Tuesday
For a time the distress nag was
hung out. when money ran short. Then
detectives were sent out over the same
old route. But the game had been
about played out and the men from
whom most Of the early money was
obtained did not care 10 kick
through" again. But the Tribune.
using the club that there are too many
saloons in salt Lake, and that they
should be cut down three-fOurths, was
able TO swing enough OF them into line
so that the contributions from the
other element Of the party were not
so heavy.
It is said by some saloonmen that
the eXtOrtiOnists from American party
headquarters were around TO see them
five or six times, each time demanding
money. They settled before. as a rule.
but they thought il was coming too
strong for the managers to demand a
further contribution. But where there
was any hesitancy, the saIOOnmen
were reminded that there were too
many saloons in Salt Lake, anyway.
any they could do as they liked about
the matter.
Anyway. the money was raised. the
party workers and others were paid at
the appointed time. and a heavy bur
den was raised from the shoulders Of
Chairman D. c. Dunbar
