State Mining Operations,

Mr.. f. L. Bartlett, State Assayer, retu med
from trip through the mines at Sedgwick and
Blue Hill yesterday, and reports them in
very prosperous working order. The shaft at
the Egemoggn mine is now down "a feet. The
ore vein commenced with width of eight
inches and has now Increased so twenty-four
inches by actual mea surement, and the quality
is improving with every blast. AS to the guam
tity, it is simply surprising-a single blast

Miners who have worked for years lin Caiifor-
mia, Nevada and Colorado, pronounce it, with
out hesitation, to be one of the richest mines
they have ever seen. For the amount of work
done the show of ore is unprecedented. After
careful investigation the most ,skeptical can
not fail to be convinced of the value of the

smelted, and this all taken from "a foot shaft.

his "a years experience as superintendent of
mines In the West eminently fits Linn for the
positlon he holds here. His judgment as a
MINER as his remarkable success in the West
ern states prove, ARE worthy of the highest
consideration. iMr. Cutler is driving three
shafts or rather adits in Fisher Mountain; one
OF them will cross.cut all of the veins, some of
which are nearly or quite 100 feet wide. The
average per cent OF the ore is about 5. The
quincy mine at Lake Superior last year made
adivldend of $4,000 in ores averaging only
oo-loo per cent. With greater conveniences
for mining and working, it certainty looks very
favorable for Bluehill. The other mines,
amongst them the Douglass Pond Welcome
Mary and Wheat Freddie, all produce remark
ably rich ores Notwithstanding all that has
been said against the State of Maine as a min.
eral bearing country, it has already produced
results satisfactory even to the most sanguine.
Mr. Bartlett brought with him piece of the
ore from the Egemoggin mine, which Z was ex-
hibited yesterday in front of his store on Con-

THE New ENGLAND FAIR-Secretary Was
son and the trustees of the State Association,
arrived in the city yesterday to make arrange
ments for the New England exhibition. Mr.
WATSON has taken his headquarters at No. q
Preble street, where corps of clerks are busy
recording the eutries The superintendents of
the several department, will have exclusive
charge of their departments, thus avoiding the
confusion of former years.
Mr.. WATSON says he has already received $50
entries and the exhibition ic all departments
bids fair to surpass all preceding ones. The
exhibition of farm, orchard, garden and dairy
products will be at the park this year, instead
of City Hall.
Among the entries G. Edgar Smith of Ellis
worth will exhibit very large herd Of thor
oughbred shorthorns which include importa-
tions from New York, Kentucky and England.
George Blanchard & Son make very large
entry Of Jerseys. Gen. Tilton has given notice
of his intention to make large display of
horses, Holsteios, Jerseys, Coltswolds, and
swine.
Today the trustees will be in session to hear
the Winthrop Jersey stock breeders. They
complain because they are not allowed to COM
pete with owners of stock which is registered in
the American Jersey Club book. Last year af
ter soma discussion they were ruled out, and to
appease them the trustees offered this stock a
separate premium this year. They don't ap.
pease at all, however, but claim right to COM
pete with the other jersey stock. 1t is authori-
lively stated that the Winthrop stock is as pure
as any Jersey stock extant and would have
been registered in the American Club book if
the names had been sent to the secretary as
requested. When they were barred out book
was got out called "rhe Maine Jersey Climb
Book" This book contains the names Of all
the Winthrop stock. The result of the hearing
today is looked forward to with considerable in.

The storm Last Night.

The showers which commenced here late in
the afternoon yesterday, increased in numbers
and violence until late in the evening. An inn
mense volume of water fell during the time.
The rain was accompanied by high wind. loud
thunder and vivid lightning. 1t is very rare
that we have more terrific thunder and sharper
lightning than there was about o'clock last
evening. The streets were perfect glare OF
light, and the street lamps seemed for time
out Of place.
A house and two barns on the hill opposite
the depot at West Falmouth were struck at
about $50 and were burned to the ground. The
names of the owners were not learned.
There was bright light seen at the Cape in
the evening, which was thought to have been a
building fired by lightning.
Immediately after the shower there was a
bright light in the direction of Biddeford 1t
was said to be barn filled with hay, on the
road from Biddeford to Alfred, presumably
fired by the lightning, which apparently struck

THE Loss OF CAPT. MooDY's SoNs.-FurtheI
particulars of the loss of life on board ship
Rembrandt, Capt. Moody, from San Francisco,
which arrived in Liverpool 25th ult,, were re-
ceived in Kennebunk Monday.
The ship had favorable run till the 10th of
May, when in lat. AGO south long 81 west, a
westerly gale had increased to trightful proper
tons, the sea frequently boarding the ship in
the waist, doing more or less damage.
In the afternoon of that day when the cap
tain's wife, their two sons and the stewardess,
were watching the gale from the pilot house Ia
covered entrance about eight feet square pro-
tecting the entrance to the forward cabin,) a
great sea suddenly broke. through the doors,
washing Mrs. Moody down the cabin stairs and
into the mates room, where she was found.
much bruised and with her collar bone broken,
the stewardess was forced through the lee door
and washed round the cabin into the port
shro1ds, where she was rescued with two ribs
broken and other injuries Nothing was seen
or heard of the two boys, who were instantly
washed out into the foaming waves. As the
ship was scudding before mighty gale with
such sea as no well manned life boat could
live in, Captain Moody was powerless to make
any attempt to save the lads, the officers and
crew barely able to care for themselves aud the
suffering women.
The broken bones of Mrs. Moody and the
the stewardess were set the following day I'M
der the disadvantages of raging sea, with
cabin doors and windows boarded up, and hard
ly dry spot to place them on. Mr.. W. G.
Cousens, the I'd mate, escaped without injury,
though washed across the top of the cabin, and
saved by clutching the lee rail. The women
had nearly recovered from their accidents when
the ship arrived.
The boys as before reported, were the only
children of Capt Moody, and pets on board the
ship as we'll as.beloved by their acquaintance
in Kennebunk. ~

Miss Won HILLERN's WALK.-The great
feat to be attempted by Miss Won Hillern at
City Hall Friday and Saturday is the one sub
ject of conversation in the social circle at
present, and that she will be greeted with
crowded houses is not doubted. A number OF
young ladies have decided to watch all night
with the little German lass. They are to 60
Friday night and not only see the start, but
stay all night. This one party now numbers
twenty-five, and the number will be largely
increased before the walk begins. Quite a
number of ladies remained in the hall during
the entire twelve hours of her last walk, and il
would not be strange if some of her ardent
admirers (and they are not few should watch
this feat throughout. The sale Of tickets has
already begun in earnest On Saturday there
will be a special train over the Portland and
Rochester to Gorham after the walk, and ex
cursion tickets from all towns on that line, and
