Concord Mines.

The work at the Concord mines goes
on as the days go by. At times there Ia
great interest manifested by our towns
people as when seated around a stove in
a village store they talk over the pros
poets of wealth upon Concord mountain.
Every story from that quarter brings
encouraging news. W. c. Robinson,
who has been visiting his family in this
village a few weeks this winter is an
experienced miner and has operated
MINES in Rossland, Sandow and Lardeau,
b &. He went up to the mines just
before starting for Vancouver and we
understand he pronounced it very rich
silver and lead yield. A quantity of
quartz weighing about 200 pounds re-
Gently shipped to Jersey City produced
$500, and the average quartz sent to
dorado and other points assays about
$50 per ton.
Six men are employed of whom John
Mcclure, foreman, w. w. Smith and F.
". Smith of Brdgewater, n s., are
experienced miners This mine was
opened for work in January and already
have uncovered over 200 tons of silver
lead ore, mixed with fine rose quartz.
All the work thus far has been done on
"blow out" from the main lead which
is 4 ] feet wide.
They are also running cross cut to
tap the lead which will take about 80
feet of tunnel The work on hand now
resem bles a large quartz as this "blow
out" has been thrown into basin Gov
cred by trap rock and quartz. The
proprietors are making preparations to
ship three carloads to the Balbock
smelling refining company in Jersey
City. 1t will be loaded at Scion, but 1t
is said the natural way for this ore to
come out would be down the Witham
brook by tram to the head of Embden
pond, then by steamer down the pond,
then by train to this village, as it is a
down grade all the way and when sui
ficient amount of the ore is found North
Arson has the water to run the reducing
and smelling works and good railroad
facilities for shipping the metal to the
refiners.
Mr.. Robinson sent samples of the ore
to Washington, D =, and took some to
Montreal when he went to the north
west. 1t is hoped that this mine will
prove to be all that the most sanguine
expect as it would mean a boom for this
section of Maine at least.

Canaan is one of the last of Somerset's
