That expansive and most picturesque Of

lets along the coast OF Maine. which is
desl2nsted upon the maps as French

more famous as great mining center than

pleasure seekers. Directly upon the east

are located the promising mining proper
ties OF the Milton. Sullivan, Wsukeag. Rob
ert Emmet. Gouldsboro, Grant and many
others Of Lesser note. The surprising fer
tility Of these silver bearing deposits, and
the earnest energy with which they are
being developed 10 awakening the pro-
foundest interest in mining circles all over
the country. and it is safe to predict that
"Frenchmsn's Bay" will be the grand
centre OF attraction OF capitalists In the
very near future. Already the super
annuated fogies who have 30 per.istently
derided the mining possibilities Of Eastern
Maine. have been shsmed into silence by
the actual output Of treasure, from almost
numberless excavations. and the time is
not distant Ia the future, when these doubt
log Thomases will either have to "pool
their issues" with their enterprising fellow
citizens. or by their absence. make room
for earnest men who are willing to devote
their labor. brains and money to the min
ing interests OF the State. Quite recently
ANOTHER promising mine has been added
to the silver girdle OF Frenchman's Bay,
upon the charming little peninsula known
as Hancock Neck. This property Is situ-
ssed 10 the town OF Hancock At point four
miles south Of the village Of Sullivan. Han

works are directly on the west shore OF
