Memorial Service.

Memorial Service.
The memorial service of the late Mrs.
Jason Moore, at the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, Tuesday afternoon, was
an occasion of much interest. The selec-
tions of scripture, read by the president, Mrs.
Quinby, were the 103d Psalm, Eph. 4th, and
a portion of Prov. 3lst. Fervent prayers
were offered by Mrs. Hunt and Mrs. Haskell.
Remarks were made by many of the menu
bers, expressive of the deep interest. with
which Mrs. Moore had inspired them, be-
cause Of her earnest labors and prayers for
the temperance cause, her untiring devotion
to her family, and especially her firm, unfal-
tering faith in her Heavenly Father. This
sustained her in the many and severe Attic
tons which were appointed unto her; and her
confidence in the power of prayer never
wavered The remembrance Of her last visit
to the Union, when she closed her words to
US, with the injunction: BE not weary in
we'll doing" is still fresh in our hearts, and
will be an inspiration in our future work.
Several pieces of music were sung. and the
reading of one or two selections of poetry
gave interest to the occasion. SEc'E.

Mining Notes.

The new Mining Exchange starts out pros
perously, and is disposing Of great number
OF shares in mines to the citizens of Augusta
and neighboring cities and towns.
Some very superior specimens of ore from
the Lawrence mine, Hampden, are shown.
The shaft is now down q feet and the bottom
OF the shaft is a mass of very richly mineral
lied ore. Some of the specimens are very
rich in gray copper. The galena is very
handsome and very abundant. Few Maine
mines have made as brilliant showing at
such short distance from the surface as the
Lawrence. A large box of ore from the mine
has been sent to Boston to astonish the peo-
pie of the Hub. The company are pushing
vigorously the work of development
The Kennebec Mining Company advertises
in the New York Tribune
Parties interested in developing the mining
| interests of this vicinity recently sent speci-
mems collected on the east side Of this city to
Boston for examination. Augusta doesn't
intend to be behind hand in this matter.
Colonel VIM. II. Darling is to open a
Mining Exchange in Bluehill. Mr.. James
Davis of Ellsworth has been secured as Col.
Darling's private secretary. Mr.. Thayer Of
Bangor has been engaged as book-keeper.
1. II. Clark, Esq, a gentleman employed
in the Land Office, has been on q trip to the
Bluehill mines, and returns with pocket
full of rocks, and enthusiastic in his ideas
of the mineral wealth of that section of the
State. From Bangor to Bucksport the trip
is made by rail, and thence, IL miles, by
stage. This stage route employs ten horses,
and is big bonanza. The transition from
staid rural towns of Maine, to busy, bustling
Bluehll is very marked. 1t seems like a
new world. The town is full of spectators,
tourists, newspaper men, and miners. People
talk mines, eat mines. drink mines, and
dream mines. The hotel is overrun with
visitors. There will be considerable build
ing done at Bluehill this spring and summer.
Mr.. Giddings of Bangor is about to open a
lumber yard; Colonel" Darling is to erect a
block; and halls, boarding houses, &C., will
go up with great rapidity. The douglas
| is the principal mine at Bluehil. The shat,
has already been sunk to the depth of hun.
dred feet, and the miners are drifting from the
main vein, east and west, with good results.
high shed covers the entrance of the mine,
and it is necessary for the visitor to provide
himself with ''stub candle" before descend
ing into the subterranean regions. The rock
from the douglas" is sent to Baltimore to be
milled. Eleven thousand tons (worth 81 a
ton. or about 10000 lie piled up waiting
shipment. Only the richest ore is milled.
1t costs about 81 ton to bring the ore to the
surface beside the cost of transportation.
The foundations for a crushing mill and q
concentrating mill are now being laid, which
will materially increase the profits of this
mine.
Edison claims to have discovered method
by which he can extract gold from the here
tofore valueless tailings Of mines, to the
amount of from $50 to sl40O a ton. If this
be so silver will go to par with wonderful
rapidity.

Miss Gertrude Z. Moore, of Boston, at the

Traveller thus speaks of her recitals "Miss
Moore showed that she is possessed of high
qualifications as a reader. Her face is at.
tractive and expressive, her presence and
movements graceful, and her style exceeding
ly good. Her voice lends itself easily to the
expression of emotion, and her distinctness
of utterance makes every word distinctly au
dible. Not the smallest charm of her Style
is its artless grace and apparently unstudied
naturalness." Miss Moore has many friend:
in our city, and we bespeak for her good
audience. While in the city she will be the
guest of Mrs. Fannie Milliken.
