200 tons is ON the Kennebec river, SOC, 300 on
the Penobscot. 300 tons on the Cathance
and $4,000 along the coast and interior
ponds, also 263. 800 tons shipped direct from
ponds by vessels. Itfurther shows ice has
been cut in 100 different towns and cities in
the state and is DOW stored in go ice houses.
AS an estimate Of men employed during the
cutting season, SO men and 20 horses would
be employed to make up an average crew.

ments are holding for $3.50 to 81, while
stack ice is freely offered at $3.50. The TO-
tails are as follows:
