NOTES.
Portland Smelling Works.

Unless appearances are deceitful the lead
ing miaes of Maine are getting ON to bust
ness basis, the serious depression which fol-
lowed the wild scheming and speculation of
last year having severed good purpose in
sitting the ehaft from the wheat Daring
the past six months the work of development
has been going on in an improved manner and
there is large amount of ore on the dump
and in sight the value of which, of course
can only be arrived At by practical test.
1t seems as if the erection here of the Port
land Smelling Works was move in the right
direction. The location at Curtis ship yard
is good one, being accessible by railroads
and shipping, thus expediting the receipt and
shipment of ore and other materials.
The projectors, Prof. F. L. Bartlett and AL
derman Lorenzo Taylor, have received offers
of some 300 tons per day from various sections
OF New England, Canada, New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia. The capacity of the works at the
start it is proposed to make but 10 tons per
day, with ample provisions for increase. Ii is
thought best to begin in a safe way and enlarge
as business demands. The encouragement re-
ceived exceeds expectations. The main build
ing is erected being 70 feet by 36 feet. 1t will
contain the engines, crushing machinery and
furnaces. In connection with this will be
erected building 60 by 80 feet for the acid
works. This will contain the acid chambers
and kilns for roasting ores. The business of
making sulphuric acid alone will be very prof
liable it is stated.
The boiler has been purchased and the
foundations are being made for the boiler and
chimney, and the bricks for the furnaces are
being hauled. The entire machinery and ap-
plances have been contracted for and are
ready for shipment Work is being pushed
ahead as rapidly as possible, SO that the works
can be running at once.
On the 26th ult. an informal meeting of sew
eral business men was held and great interest
was manifested in the matter as adding anoth-
er business enterprise to our city. 1t will pro-
mote the development of all substantial mines
and thus prove public benefit, and assover
one half the ores offered will come from out of
the State it will bring in a large amount of
capital.
1t looks as though these works, if success,
might form the nucleus of large and profit
able business and make Portland prominent
reduction market of the world. The project
ors of the works feel confident that they will
| be.a financial success.
The company will be organized on the 18TH
inst. The capitalization will be small and all
the stock will be company stock.

R. H. BUCK g. CO.
Mine and Real Estate Brokers.


This frm-the Oldest in the business in the
city-has, during the past year, continued to
grow in popularity, and it's business has be-
come widely extended. Toe relation OF a
broker to his principal and to his customer is
in large degree one of trust and confidence,
and it has been too often abused by unscrupu-
lous parties, who are properly classed as
"scalpers." Messrs. r. III. Buck & Co., by a
persistent adherence to their rule of selling on
commission only, without Gaping a property
with a heavy margin, as is often done, have
justly gained the confidence of property
owners as we'll as of large circle of customers,
both here ana abroad. Among their recent
transactions is the sale of two valuable mines
in Monarch district to Boston capitalists. AT
the request of the purchasers, Mr.. Charles W.
Buck, one of the partners in this firm, has as
sumed the management of these mines, and
will work them on large scale.
We are glad to chronicle the success of
Messrs. Buck & Co., and to commend them to
parties having business in their line.-Lead-

1t is currently reported that between Feb.
18th and Goth it will be decided whether the

it will be entirely reconstructed, and new

if the change is made that G. e. Jose & Co.,

above it, Allen & Co., another, and the occu-
pants of the third are undetermined. The
reconstructed building will be one of the hand
somest in New England, while the location is

The Ward-Roorn in Ward Four.

We hear that petition will be presented at
the next meeting of the City Government ask
ing that the ward-room in Ward Four may be
moved so that the headquarters of the First
Maine Volunteers may be established in the
building, thus keeping the military together.
The removal of the ward-room to some eligible

Companion Andrew j. Nichols, Lieutenant

genial companion and true friend, he was
always ready to assist in time of DANGER as
those on board the unfortunate steamer
Golden Gate" will testify, where, by his
GOODNESS and bravery, he saved several who
to-day remember him only as their savior, and
afterwards swan out and hailed passing

is dead, leaving behind large circle of
friends, who most sincerely mourn his loss.
He was, to all who knew him, the large
hearted, the noble and generous man.
We, the companions of the Order of the
Loyal Legion, do hereby extend to his family
our heartfelt sympathy at the loss of one SO
near and dear to them, and request that these
resolutions be entered on the records of the
COmmandery, and a copy be sent to lhe

the writer speaks of Mr.. Carpenter as new

only to hear him lecture on John Milton, Ed

thuslastic in his praise as those who have had
the pleasure of listening to him on those sub

increase. There is an illustration in our own
State OF the good effects of beer as a promoter
OF temperance. The writer has been informed
that General Tilton of Togus at one time en-
forced prohibition on the government reserva-

the use of beer, and the result has been

SSe0enty.tce per cent. 1t has been proven
beyond doubt that lager beer is the best
temperance drink we have, and it seems rea-
sonable to suppose that if its introduction was
permitted in Portland that it might help the
cause we all have at heart. Some of the Prohi-
DltIonists may denounce this as false because a
great deal of intemperance in England is
caused by beer drinking, but they must remem-
Der that the beer they have there and the beer
In use here are two distinct brewings, theirs
being much stronger than ours, and also that
