Mining Notes.

Mining Notes.
4 correspondent of the Ellsworth American
from Sullivan, SAYS that the ''od residents
can hardly realize that this busy town, with
its many steam whistles. the boom Of almost
constant explosions, and the never ending
sound of hammer and drill, can reallybe the
old, quiet. peaceful town of Sullivan.
There are now in Sullivan five mines
which are producing good ore. in sufficient
quantity to pay for working. and probably at
aproft, while others will soon be in the list
of paving mines. The mining regions are
alive with men-speculators, prospectors, cap
italists. and practical miners. 1t is as yet
too early to ascertain the amount OF building
that is to be done there this season. We hear
that one or two boarding houses are to be put
up. +. Worcester is preparing to build
cottage near that Of Capt. Dennis, and the
ladies' are trying to obtain money by sub
scription with which to build fine Hall,
which is something very much needed
Many buildings will be erected at the
mines and probably several houses by mine
owners. Take it all in all, the season prom
ises to be an extremely busy one. Inc
waukeae House" will open for company
Shout the middle of April. under the manage
nent of s. F. White, and from present ap'
pearances, will be we'll patronized.
Atrip from Augusta to Sullivan, Hancock,
niuehill, Addison and other towns IN Han
cock and Washington counties would be
delightful way in which to spend week OF
"o. We hope that out of this hue and cry
ABOUT mining there may come permanent
industry, which will enrich the State and
~eep our young men at home.

GARDNER, March 2S. The ice men are
patiently waiting the opening OF the
river. Vessels will be chartered in ad-
vance, to wait at the mouth of the river
till it is free of ice. to ship large amount
of stocked ice. 1t is thought probable that
no less than fifty vessels will be waiting in
this manner when the ice goes out. On the
oath inst the river was open from Gardiner to
the mouth with the exception of a mile near
Richmond. On the 18th the river closed
again, like circumstance not having oc-
red before in ninety-five years, the record
having been kept The following amounts
of ice have been housed; Kennebec
river, eight hundred and ninety-four thou
sand and five hundred tons; Penobscot river,
100, 900 tons; Unity Pond, $4,000; Cathance
river, Boothbay, and companies near thu
mouth of the Kennebec, 39l 900 tons. OF
the amount housed on the kennebec,
81, 900 tons remains unsold. 1t is estimated
that it will take $50 vessels on the Penobscot
and $3.50 on the Kennebec to ship the ice.
