from the very first opening of the shaft, which
has developed more and more richness as pro-

Since March last twenty-five men have been
constantly employed, and over 400 tons of rich
ore are now piled up on the grounds awaiting
the erection of the Smelling Works, materials
for which are already on the premises. This
ore is worth $3.50 per ton. These Smelling

There are no other Smelling Works in Maine,
and it Is understood that the two copper mines
now being actively and successfully worked at
Blue Hill, ten miles distant, will have all their
ore smelted here, which alone will afford a
handsome revenue.
If present indications continue this mine
must prove of great value, as the ore is found

All citizens of Maine can but be heartily

the material resources of at least one section of

1t is worthy of note that ore from this mine
has been assayed by no less than five dis
tinguished Assayers, in and out of New
England, who report small per centage of
gold, from 80 to 40 per cent of lead and over
80 per cent. of silver-the average value of
silver found in each ton of ore, as analysed by
these five Assayers, is $155, which is certainly
most satisfactory yield.

THE New DENTURE.-It has been matter
of just complaint for long time that so little
advance has been made by dentists in materials
for artificial dentures We still see the same
stilted uniformity in arrangement of teeth, the
same pulled out lips the same depression where
the eye teeth extracted, the same horse shoe
contour of the arrangement of the crowns of
the teeth--all SO unlike nature-that we saw
twenty-five years ago. Serious objections OBJ
tain too to the materials used as bases 1t will
be matter of great interest to many to learn
that these defects in dentures have now been
corrected, and that in this city DR.. j. M. Strout
has brought into use, for the first time in this
state, an unexceptionable base, which permits
the preservation of the natural contour of the
face, which will last lifetime, and which is
capable of being so worked that the teeth which
it holds may be an exact imitation of the natu-
raj teeth. This is the platina base, struck up
on metal dies, the gum and teeth all in one
solid block "a denture which surpasses all 9TH
ers in material, strength and ease of use, which
leaves no vacuum between block and plate,
which is easily cleaned, which does not inf1ame
the mucuous membrane, and which exactly i'm
itates the rug@ of the palate, thus affording
great aid to articulation.

THE PORTLAND CREW WIN AT SILVER
LAKE.-At the Silver Lake regatta Monday,
there were four crews entered. Shawput No.
1, Mahoney stroke: Shawmut No 2, Connolly
stroke; St james, Classy stroke; and the Port
land crew, James Colweli stroke, Alexander
Brayley, Payne and Coyne bow; average weight
165 pounds; length of boat Al feet.
Pool selling on the race was ten to six in fa-
vor of the Mahoney crew. At % they were
sent off, and took the water simultaneously.
The crews pulled very evenly until the first
quarter, when the Mahoney crew rowed across
the bows of the other boats until they fouled
the Portland crew, and both stopped rowing,
but as soon as clear they again resumed row.
Ing When about half a mile out the Ma
honey crew ran into the stern of the st. James
boat, the bow of the former piercing it through,
and causing them to cease rowing as the stern
of their boat was nearly submerged. After
rounding the upper stake boat it was evident
that the boat could not hold out much longer,
and two of the crew were taken into the judges
boat and rowed ashore, while the others by
hard labor succeeded in keeping themselves
out of the water The following was the posi-
tions of the remaining crews during the race
At the mile buoy the Mahoney crew were first,
closely followed by the Shawmut and Portland
crews On rounding the judges stake-boat the
Mahoneys were still ahead, and the Shswmut
and Portland crews had changed places. The
positions at the third mile were unchanged.
On the way home the contest was exceedingly
sharp, although Brayley showed signs of flag
ging after turning. He was, however, kept to
his work by the stroke. They passed the
judges boat at the end of the course in the fol-
lowing order: Mahoney first, time % So; Port
land second in 23.S4; Shawmut third, time not
taken The Portland and st. James crews
claimed "foul," and after consultation the
Portland crew was awarded the first prize, with
the Shawmut second. The prizes were 5000
for the first and $1O0 for the second.
