The Methodist Episcopal church at
West Bay. was dedicated Wed. July :
Rev. {. Is. Besse, of Bangor. preached IN the
afternoon aud the Presiding Elder. Rev. C..
+. Libby. in the evening. following the ser
mon by the dedicatory service. The heavy
RAIN in the morning no doubt kept many
who lived at a distance. from attending yet
the church was filed at each service. The
sermons were excellent. Just at the close.
Bros Besse and Frohock undertook to
raise one hundred dollars, the sum needed
to complete the work The people had
already given so literally that the sum asked
for seemed like "the last straw upon the
camers back = but in few moments 1t was
all pledged. Much credit is due to the pas
tor. Rev. II. W. Norton, and to the friends
and member. Of the church, for the energy
and hberality they have shown. We doubt
not that, as they meet in their beautiful
church and feel that they have home OF
their own. they will be abundantly repaid
for all their labors and sacrifices. r.

The Prospectors Weaknes $.

Rocky Mouutsin Mining Review.
There is nothing so common among pros
pectors, and even old miper=, as the delusiye
as well as disastrous custom OF over sstimat-
ing properties. There may be moments when
a miner is sincere and conscientious in his be
lief thst The property IS worth the figures he
may place upon it, but it is generally fancy
price arranged according TO his overly san
guine hopes and prospective POSSE ssions,
brought about by the encouraging change in
the indications, etc. habit and the customs
of prospectoT's visionary pursuits have much
to do with the eNaggerating characteristics
that he may acquire. Not until one has placed
himself in position to fully conceive and un-
derstsnd the peculiar hfe, full OF fsscinstions
as well as vicissitudes, that prospector leads
can he faithfully portray or intuitively ccm-
prehend the anv causes and effects that tend
10 make the majority of miners reluctantly
part with their claims at q fair hEUre, even
though the owner may be in pressing need of
funds. nay. even absolute want Of food. The
mine becomes a direct part Of the owner s
being ard true eIisterce: he thinks of II by
dsy and dreams of 1t a. night, until his every
hope ambition and lof lest aspirations arc
eentered In the narrow deep hole in TIE ground
-perhs ps uothing of value visible. But the
next days labor may rJYesl treasures OF IN
told wealth, aud II is with this fond hope al
ways hugged so tightly to his hresst that
makes mtnlrg 50 enchanting Sni irresistible,
so visionary, sni in many instances so free
from pecuniary scquirement. But this Is all
wrorg 2 II is row an old habit and an obsolete
custom. The prospector need least of all mis-
lead himself by vain hopes He should ascer-
tain to 4 certainty what he really possesses,
and when that legitimate value is defined to an
established fact he should be governed by
cool adoption of common sInse and sound
judgment in Gisposiug of his property. The
history of mining proves copclusively that
more money has been made from sellirg when
reasonable offers were made than in holding
for a bonanza.
