MAINE RICH IN MINERALS.
The Down East State Has Produced Son
Remarkable Collections.

The Down East State Has Produced Son
Remarkable Collections.
People are accustomed tore gard the
Pine Tree state as land of snow and
rocks of granite. True, there is gran
tie, and the finest in the world, but
neither California nor Colorado can
boast of such variety of rich and
rare mineral specimens as can be found
among the rock-ribbed hills of An
droscoggin and Oxford counties.
Maine has long led the entire world
in the production of tourmalines, and
collectors from every section OF the
country visit Mount Mica for the pur-
pose Of gathering some Of its treas
ures.
DR.. Hamlin of Bangor, son of the
late Hannibal Hamlin, is the owner of
this property, 'and it is said that he
has cleared over 100000 during the
past few years from the sale of Mount
Mica gems. From these mines are
taken every variety and color of tour
malines known 10 the lapidary. The
gems are found in "pockets" and are
Of rare brilliancy and beauty. The
collector who can secure green or
pink tourmaline from Mount Mica is
considered especially fortunate.
Mount Apatite, in Auburn, is even
richer in precious gems than the
former place. Here have been found
some of the finest specimens Of topaz,
smoky quartz, and herderite that the
world can boast. Only last fall a
farmer by tho name Of Littlefeld,
whose land lies on the mountain side,
conceived the idea of digging for its
hidden treasures. After spending all
his loose change without making any
discovery he gave up the attempt. His
wife, however, was not quite satisfied.
One day, while her husband was alb
sent, she took the pick and sledge
hammer and went exploring on her
own account. Commencing where
her discouraged lord had left off the
brave woman began her work. She
had not gone down over six inches
when pocket was struck which in
, richness and size excelled all records
1t was not less than twelve feet square
and its sides were completely linet
with the richest specimens of topaz
! Its contents have not yet been fully
, explored. Over $4,000 worth Of gems
and crystals have been taken out ant
. the end Is not yet.
One of the rarest and most valuable
. specimens is now in the possession o
3 Mr.. William P. Damon of West Au
! burn. It is over two feet high, thir
teen inches thick, and is undoubtedl.
: the finest specimen of this mineral il
f existence. 1t is remarkably clear an
t is of the variety known as phantom
D topaz.
A few weeks since the Smithsonia
l Institution sent an agent to secur
a this crystal if possible, but althoug
0 tempting offers were made, Mr.. Damo
It refused to part with his treasure
d Another specimen rests by its side
nearly the same size and set in ma
4 rix of white quartz. Mr.. Damon he
made life study of native Main
9 minerals, and is, beyond doubt. th
n best informed man on the subject
:. the state. His collection is as rare {
/ it is valuable. Not even the Smitl
|, sonian can approach it in complete
d ness, so far as Maine gems are col
n eerned,

The claim is set forth that the present

The kewaunee fire brought TO the sur
face feature of human nature which
cannot be tittingly characterized in words
1t is SAID when the fire WAS raging and
men were doing their utmost TO creek it
some ldlers were heard to say that the
fire should be allowed to go on un check
ed as it would thereby enable them to
earn something, People who at such q
time could entertain such opinions are
woltish. They are dangerous people In a
community. They are of the same class
as those who welcome war because war
brings high prices. There Is no element
OF human nature more detestable than
that which causes rejoicing over the mis-
fortunes of some because OF the pos
sible good that may result to others.
Robbery appears pralseworthy in com
parlson.

The exploit OF Saturday evening last,
telegraphing news of an engagement be-
Tween the American and Spanish fleets
near the coast OF Hsyti, was but one OF
series or the most nnbushing false
hoods set in circulation since the open
ing OF bostillties. We condemn SPAN for
giving ont misleading reports of en gage
ments and conditions. Are we not also
pubfcans and sinners in this respect?
Was there any more fragrant attempt at
deception on the part of Spain than was
that of Saturday last on the part of the
eiterprlslng newspaper correspondent?
One feature of this deliberate purpose
TO deceive is that papers wholly innocent
are made 10 suffer as well as the pnilty
ones. People say 1t is scheme of the
newspapers To sell papers. Possibly, but
nj the newspapers are not engaged in it.
he people demand sensations and there
are not lacking papers ready to fill the
demand. The reported capture OF the
man who set the mine which blew up the
Maine wns deemed too silly for publics
tlon In many reputable newspapers Bat
they lost prestige for failure to publish
The stuff under flaming headlines and
earned no credit late. for their dlscrim-
nation.
II one could believe that the American
fleet was at Key West on Friday, the I'm
possibly of collision on Saturday would
be SO apparent that one so guiilble as to
give cred Ance TO it would be debarred
the ri. b OF beng Indignant at the de.
ception. But no one could saw to a Ger.
tainty that the feet was at Key West
notwithstanding the reported assurance
that it was. and people chose to discount
the probable in order TO make the sensa
tIoual possible.
II would not be out Of place for the
government to hunt up the manufactur-
ers OF news. LIZ We carry on war for
humanitarian reasons, we should con-
duct an investigation 10 the interest OF
truthfulness and for the punishment of
mendacity.

WAR NEWS,

On Sunday last the news was flashed
over the country that naval battle took
pl1ce near Cnba and that SPANS feet
" annihilated with comparatively little
loss to the Americans. Details being
gwen the story was at first believed, but
reflection made the tale improbable.
Sundays papers cast doubt upon the
story and Monday the assurance was
given that the whole thing was a lie.
The Oregon arrived safely having. CON-
pleted the 1900 mile run without mis-
hap and her machinery is perfect notwith-
standing the long trip. The monitor
| Montery has been ordered to Manila.
She Is one of the strongest boats IL the
world but has coal capacity for only 20C
tons which would take her over only 6
small portion of the distance. 1t IL
thought she will recoal at Honolulu anc
after this is exhausted be towed to hel
destination.
There are rumo-s OF q movement b.
the Cadiz feet, contemplated and TO b.
immediate, but the movement Is no
made. The troops at San Francisco IN
tended to aid Dewey have at last 60
aboard the City OF PekIn. After the
were aboard there was delay to take sup
plies on board.
,, A dispatch from Manila says the Ger
, man consul there attempted to land pro
visions from German ship. Dewey Re
, fused to grant permission whereupon tn
consul said he would land the provision
under the protection OF the Germa
cruisers In the port. Dewey prompt
+ replied that he would fire upon the Gel
man cruisers. This is given for what
r worth and nrnhQhlv hr
q coming from Dewey it Is entitled to som
g credence.
g The Charleston has finally left Sa
Francisco bringing supplies to Dewe,
1t took long time to get her started.
g There will either be battle soon {
J. Santiago or slow starving out. III
a American fleets have come up with Il
| Spaniards who are at Santiago. III
d American feet arrived on Tuesday. Th
q information may be pronounced authe
n tic, though it is hard to vouch for
truthfulness 10 view of the lies atiOat.
The harbor of Santiago IS a difficu
~ one to enter as only one boat can ent
m the narrow opening at time, and tn
" would have TO run the guns or Nor
y and the torpedoes. The American fie
= Is much the stronger, but the advanta
v OF position is with the Spaniards.
Of The Oregon has finally arrived at ]
piter, Fla. The President has issued
call for 5000 more volunteers.
10 1t is said to be the purpose not to G
Ia ter Santiago harbor, but to starve t

day afternoon, that in a naval engagement
the Spanish fleet was destroyed and the
Iowa and New York blown up with the
loss OF 500 lives. The suspense and agony
such reports must cause to those having
friends in service on those boats justify
the lynching OF the scoundrel who orig
