from the rising OF the curtain to its fall. The
snenes are the most effective we have ever wit
messed in this city, the situations of the piece
are-to use a theatrical phrase-1mmense, ana
there is a fine opportunity for good acting, not

also of the subordinate characters.

UNION STREET SEWER.
a New Plan Proposed by Mr.. Goodwin.


At the adjourned meeting of the Board of
Mayor and Alder men to, be held this evening,
we understand Mr.. Goodwin, the City Engin-
eer, will explain plan that it is thought will
obyiate all trouble in regard to the sewer on
the harbor front.
The plan, if we are correctly informed, does
away with all change, or rebuilding of Union
street sewer. 1t provides for an 'intercepting
sewer. to start on the east from Hampshire
street and on the west from Maple street, run
ming through Commercial street. and the two
Joining each other Eat the foot OF Moulton
steet. The heirs of the Long wharf property,
it is said are all willing to have the sewer built
out to the channel on the west side OF their
wharf property. The plan contemplates
large sewer, with piles and planking on either
side, making Long wharf ten feet wider than
now which would be an advantage to the
wharf owners. The owners are to agree to
give the city the perpetual use of the part OF
the property used for the sewer, and the city
to agree to keep the wharf in repair The
depth of the sewer at Hampshire street and
Maple street would be seven feet, and at Long
wharf eleven feet, thus giving sufficient
grade, to carry off all the matter from the sew
er intercepting this grand sewer. The cost of
the plan we have not learned, but we under
stand that it can be carried out sufficiently by
summer, to avoid all the present trouble from
the Union street sewer, and at not great ex-
pense. The form of the sewer would be fun
mel shaped, the ends on Hampshire and Maple
streets, small, and gradually increasing in size
until Long wharf was reached when they
would be larger.

mill runs they would go perhaps 500,
With pan and mortar the sampler would
get enough to warrant him in his opin-
ion, yet the mill would not save it and
the samplers reliability as well as the
apparent value Of the mine was gone.
We are firmly convinced that with
arastras and blankets that there are a
number Of mines here that will pay over
FIVE dollars to the ton. some even as
nigh AS ten or twelve but without them
they would be valucless. IL is under
stood that Capt. Elliott has ordered
arastras for his Junction mill, having
become fully convinced that the result
at the Gold Star solves the secret Of gold
saving in this region. With them there
will no longer be more gold found in the
;ailings than the mill could save as has
been the case here in half dozen in
stances.
The grand success of the Gold Star
will, we believe do more to give us q
start nextspring that any other thing that
has ever happened in this county. / is
well known that there are other mines
with good bodies of ore which prospect
fully equal TO the Gold Star, and they
will be worked now to a certainty end
some one will take hold of them. The
gold is in them for a fact; il is Il mere
question of saving it, and that problem
is solved by the run at the Four Mile.
With the opening OF spring and with ~
stamps on the Junction. 90 at the Four
Mile, - at the PenobScot, 20 at the Dick
over mill, which will then be running
on custom work, and the ten stamps OF
the Hartford which will probably be
utilized in some way, we may reasona-
bly, hope for something which will look
as though Custer conn!y had some gold
in it.
Nothing breeds success like success,
and three months of the good luck
which j. BOUND to attend the junction,
Penobscot aud Gold Star, will place
quartz mining in this comfy on it's feet
once more.
