Work on the Boston Reduction Co.'s
plant is being pushed vigorously. The
building on the west side Of the dam is
ready for the machinery, some of which
is now on the way. The floor space in
the mill is about 73x63 feet on the second
floor, with ell 20x30 and 73X45 on the first
floor. Two Sampson water wheels are
already in place, and another is being
put in. The aggregate power of these
wheels will be over 400 horse.
Mr.. Burleigh, who superintended the
beginning of the work here, returned last
week, and will superintend the work OF
installing the machinery. n. p. Cutler,
OF Boston, the president of the company,
was in Ellsworth yesterday inspecting the
plant, and expressed satisfaction at the
progress made.
The three water wheels viii be in rum
ming order within a month, and Mr.. Bur-
leigh said yesterday that he expected the
plant would be running inside of three
months.
As THE AMERICAN reported some time
ago, the company says 1t has already made
arrangements for its ore supply. There
has been some speculation as to how the
ore would be taken to the mill. Mr.. Bur-
leigh said yesterday that it would come
by rail or vessel and be hauled to the mill
by teams. The company is not going to
build any electric road, or aispur to the
Maine Central.

THE OLD "POLLYn

Reported Lost, but 1t is Probably a
Mistake.
A press dispatch by the roundabout
way OF Boston says the old schooner
"Polly" was wrecked at North Brooks
Vile last week.
There seems to be room for doubt as to
the accuracy OF this report. THE AMERI-
CAN talked with North Brooksvile this
morning by telephone. No vessel had
been wrecked there.
At North Brooklin, which mig ht easily
be confused with North BrooksvilIe, a
small schooner was wrecked, but that
was the "Charity", another old-timer,
and not the older and more famous
"Polly".
The "Charity" was schooner of about
seventy tons, built at Hackensack, N. j.,
in 1884. Her home port is Bangor. The
"Poily" was built at Amesbury. Mass, in
1905, and columns have been written
about her. She was a privateer in the
war Of 1872, and had no less than eleven
prizes to her credit. Her last fight was
with an armed British merchsntmap
The fight took place about half way be.
tween Mt. Desert and Duck Island, anC
the "Polly" was victorious. The mer-
chantman was a rich prize.
1t would be strange coincidence il
these two old-timers, the "Polly" and
"Charity", were wrecked in the same
vicinity the same week. 1t is more prob
able that the "Charity" has been confused
with the "Polly" and that the latter is
still afloat, the oldest merchant vessel
flying the American flag to-day.

is the first time within his memory
that this has been done with two
vessels the size OF these. 1t was
made possible by the new channel made
by the dredger during he past few weeks,
near Indian Point. Heretofore it was
necessary to take vessels of this size one
at a time over the stave-slab bar and
through the tortuous channel near the
point, then get them together again and
tow out OF the river. This meant loss
of time, aud when water over the slabs
is scarce at best, loss OF time sometimes
meant that one Of the vessels would stay
on the sla BIS for while.

where her exhibits always took many

Ellsworth and Amherst fairs for several
years have been prominent feature.
Her last exhibit this year was at Els
worth fair. She was not in good health
at that time, and when THE AMERICAN
reporter talked with\her about her floral
exhibit, she seemed to feel that it would
be the last one she would make, and said
so.

Charles E. Shaw was arrested in Ban
gor last week on a warrant charging him
with obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. On Nov. 8 he paid freight bill
with a check for ga on the Burrill ma
tional bank OF Ellsworth. Later the
check was returned, the bank reporting
no fund. On complaint of the Maine
Central railroad company, to whom the
check was paid, Mr.. Shaw was arrested.
He was discharged on payment OF costs.
Mr.. Shaw formerly conducted stable in
Ellsworth, and had an account with the
Burrill bank. He says his arrest was all
a mistake; that some time ago he sent
money for deposit to his account in the
Burrill bank by runner who was going
to Ellsworth and he supposed the money
had been deposited when he made the
check.
