AN economic measure it is cheaper TO

MiAing Notes.
Prepared by L. B. Wyman, OF the ELLSWORTH
Mining Exchange,


Mr.. Charles L. Morrison has leased
part of the old Brimmer homestead, near
Brimmer's Bridge. of Mrs. Fannie ID.
Gray. aud a company of Ellsworth men
has been formed TO open a mine upon the
premises. The property shows ane vein
of quartz well mineraiized, and the pros
poets for permanent mine are promising.
Capt. Mark Mullan and son OF Hancock,
and Richard Lafiio of this City. have
bonded property in Franklin. upon whic h
they show contact vein about twenty
feet in width. which shows wonderfully
rich deposits OF silver upon the surface.
This promises to be one of the richest
bonanzas yet discovered in the County.
Magnificent veins heavily charged with
copper and silver. have been discovered
upon the places OF John l.. Brown. Horace
T.. Stanley and John l.. Stanley, at South
West Harbor. These places have been
leased and will be principally owned by
Ellsworth parties. The situation OF this
properly in one OF the finest harbors in
III. State. aud the showing of mineral
upon the surface. makes it one OF the finest
mining prospects IN the County.
The old mines are all showing first rate.
Specimens from the sullivan and Goulds-
boro, show better a. the shafts deepen.
The Soule and West. Robert Emmett, aud
Per.t Menan are showing very fine speci-
mems.
Specimen. taken from the surface of the
Grant Silver King OF the Tides may be
seen at the Miners Exchange, which are
truly wonderful.
Elegant specimens Of rock loaded with
silver, have been brought in from the
Early Dawn"

name may sell the stock-wheiher the
gold and silver will remains TO be
proved. OF course the irrepressible Col
lins' G. W. lie at the head, being Superin-
tendent. and one of the board of Directors.
They are At present working small force,
, aud the Indications are said TO be good.
Consequently with our mining and gran
lite, next season promises 10 be a profitable
one, as the Collins Granite Company pro-
pose running full handed, as soon az Faith

we hope will be soon-as We sadly miss

Last week two very interesting cere-
monies took place here. The dedication OF
our new church, and the marriage of John
c. Perkins and Lou l.. Watt. Although
the day on which the dedication took place,
was not all that could have been desired,
still everything passed on pleasantly. ana
with seeming satisfaction to our Rev. X.
III. Baker. to whose untiring energy We
are indebted Tor our little Church. and too
much praise cannot be given him for the
noble manner in which he has succeeded.
II was no easy task for him assure you.
The Perkins Watt nuptiils were cele-
brated upon Monday the 18th inst, none but
the immediate families and Il few friends
were present, the ceremony was performed
by the Rev. 5. Woodbury. assisted by the
Rev. X. II. Baker. after which the COM
pany present sat down 10 a wedding break
fast prepared By the brides parents; the
| happy pair then started West on their
bridal tour. 1--WE have thrown the shoe,'
