HOW CUSTER ENTERED THE
ARMY.
T lie story as to how Gen. Custer
received his appointment as a ca
det to the United States Military
Academy at West Point is told by
I the venerable John A. Bingham,
now in his 84th year, who is spend
ing his last days at his old home in
Cadiz, Harrison county. Ohio.
Bingham was one of the founders
of the republican parly, and served
his district in congress from 1855
to 1863. One day he received a
letter, in a boyish but strong hand,
the text of which was something
like this:
"I am told you have to appoint
a boy to West Point. I am told it
makes no difference whether the
boy is a republican or democrat. I
am a democrat but I should like to
be a soldier, and fight for my
country."
Tho letter was dated at New
Ruiuley, a hamlet in Harrison
county, and was signed "George
A. Custer." The modern fashion
! of spelling out one's cognomen had
not yet come up, and young
Custer then about seventeen
used merely the initial of his
middle name. "Armstrong."
Mr. Brigham knew nothing of
the boy, nor of the Custer family.
There was something about the
frank boyishness of the letter
which charmed him, and he ap
pointed young Custer to West
Point without ever meeting him.
The boy entered in 1857, and
graduated in 1861, just as the Civil
war was opening. He reported
for duty at Washington. Gen.
Winfield Scott gave him dispatches
1 to carry to Gen. Irwin McDowell,
i then in command of the Army of
! the Potomac, who assigned him to
I duty with the Fifth Cavalry. On
the day of his arrival at the front
he participated in the battle of
Bull Run and showed such courage
that Gen. Phil Kearnev selected
him as his first aide-de-camp.
In all these years Mr. Bingham
and Custer had never met, nor
even exchanged letters, though the
former had kept himself informed
as to the progress of his protege.
A day or two after the battle of
Bull Run, Mr. Bingham was writ
ing in his room at the old National
Hotel in Washington, when there
came a modest rap on the door.
Supposing it to be a bell boy, Mr.
Bingham called, "Come in!"
The door opened, and a tall,
slender, active young man, in
lieutenant's uniform, entered. His
face had the profile of a Greek god;
his eyes were flashing blue, and
his fair hair, worn long, lay in
golden locks on his coat collar.
Before Mr. Bingham could speak
the young mau began rapidly:
"MrBiugham, ray name is Custer
You appointed me to West Point.
I have been in my first battle, and
I trust I did not prove a coward.
I deemed it my duty, sir, to report
to youl"
And drawing his tall form to its
full height, young Custer gave a
military salute.
Bingham au impulsive man.
sprang to his feet and embraced
Custer. He had read in the ac
counts oi the battle of the coolness
and bravery of the young oflicer
under fire for the first time, . and
appreciated the modesty which
prompted him to say, "I trust I did
not prove a coward." The
warmest friendship existed between
the two men until the unfortunate
death of Custer at the battle of the
Little Big Horn, July 25, 1776,
BOHEMIA ITEMS.
A Batch of Interesting Items From
the Gold Camps.
Mr. Editoii : While strolllnr through
the camp visiting my many friends I
stopped at the Grizzly Mountain mines,
and passed a few pleasant hours with
tho boys. They showed me the late
rich strike they made on one of their
claims named tho Grizzly. On Satur
day morning they uncovered the ledge
and broke into a rich ore chute, which
is a mass of galene and copper ore, the
ledge is five feet wide between walls of
porphery and anthracite. It is the richest
thing I've ?een in camp. The place
where the strike was made is on
Champion creek at the mouth of
Grizzly creek, and they intend doing a
big lot of work on this claim. They
have no assays of this ore at present,
but when they get their returns I ex
pect to see something big. They also
took me around and showed me their
other claims which comprise the group
on the Golden Fleece. They have a tunnel
about CO feet Bhowing a. fine lode of
copper ore 5 feet wide and assaying $45
per ton. The boys have done con
siderable work the past few months not
withstanding the severity of the winter,
and I predict a great future for tho
Grizzly Mountain mines.
I next raw Mr. George Thompson and
found him hard at work in tho tunnel
on his claim. The ledge which is be
tween 4 and 6 feet wide is a free milling
quartz which will mill from $7 to $13 at
present showing. George is very much
pleased at the present outlook of his
property and expects during this
summer to make a deal with Eastern
parties. Mr. Thompson who is an in
dustrious miner is deserving of tho
good fortune which has come his way.
Up at the Champion mine I met Mr.
James Sears, who is in charge of the
company's properties. He looked ex
ceedingly lonesome in 14 feet of snow
all by himself but assured mo he was
enjoying the best of health and that the
Ionesomeness was rather a boon to him
than otherwise and expects that the
mine will be running full blast in a
short time.
Up at the Montana G. M. and M.
Company's camp I found Mr. Elza
Holderman,and had apleasint talk with
him ; but he was not feeling in the best
of spirits, as he fears another attack of
the mumps. That's right Elza, you
had better come out, before you get
dopn up there.
I took a run over the hill to see my old
friend Al Churchill who I heard was
under the influeuco of "the weather," I
think they call it, but found him all
smiles. The first thing that met my
gaze when he opened the door was the
splendid collection of classic pictures
which adorn the walls. The inside of
the cabin reminds one of a scene in the
Arabian Nights. I sat in his great arm
chair and smoked the pipe of peace, and
talked loud and' furious on politics and
mines. After enjoying a, nice dinner I
went up to tho tunnel and I found he
has drifted on the ledge 75 feet, in
splendid free milling ore, the ledge is 4
feet wido'between solid walls. Tho ore
mills $20 to the ton. He intends
putting in a mill this summer.
At the Zinneger mino I found tho
boys hard at work, they are now driving
in souio very hard rock but expect to
strike tho ledge before long. I wish you
success gentlemen.
I called on Mr. Louis Bettus and he
showed me over his claims and I must
say they look very well. He has done
considerablo work, and he is deserving
of much credit. I understand thsro is
liablo to le a deal made with some
Montana Jmen before a great whilo in
this section of the camp.
At tho Musick mine I found quito a
crew of men at work busy developing
and getting things in readiness for tho
early spring.
At tho Harlow & Stocks mine I found
that thoso gentlemen have done a big
lot of work, having drifted over 200 feet
j.n very rich ore and thoy expect to do
very nicely in the spring run of tho
mill.
