ate the dredges, and, Will doubtless
soon become the power in general use
in this class of gold-saving. Its ad-
vantages are many, for in the use
of steata SO much room is required on
the boat that everything Is cr9gded
and quite a force of men is required on
shore to keep the furnaces going;
with electricity the current is carried
aboard the boat by wire and when
properly installed requires but little
attention.
To operate a dredee requires crew.
consisting of a dredge superintendent,
(who, when quicksilver is used is occas-
ionaily also the amalgamatorl a roust-
about, and three crews of two or three
men each, each crew working eight
hours. The dredges operate but six
days in the week, taking Sundays for
repairing and other necessary work.
The first thought presenting itself to
the visitor to a dredge is how many
acres of ground it can handle ip a given
time. 4 second thought discloses the
impossibility of even estimating the
work by acres, for that depends on the
depth from the surface of the ground
to bedrock which varies in this sec
tion from sixteen to thirty-six feet. A
general idea Of capacity of dredge,
however, can be secured frQm the fol-
lowing facts: A company owning 156
acres of land has had one dredge oper-
ating for more than year, and this
year proposes to construct three more
dredges of greater capacity than the
one they are now operating to be put
on their 156 acres.
Some of the gold recovered is very
fine and some is eoarser, but not what
would generally be termed coarse gold.

the writer that in two years. sxper-
ience on dredge work in the Feather
river section the largest piece of gold
he had ever seeH was of about five
cents valuation, and the one piece was
the only one he had ever seen which
approached that value.

There is no doubt about Theodore
Roosevelt's position in regard to this
scountry's present duty in the Philip
pines. This is what he said in his
speech at the Rough Riders ~ re-
union in Oklahoma last week:
l appeal TO the great people of the West. l
appeal to men who fought in the Civil war; and
90 their sons who came forward when the nation
again called, whatever their party, to see to 1t
that the nation does not shrink from Its work !;
that the flag which has SO far been borne to
honor shall be upheld for evermore the flag
of the greatest, mightiest nation of mankind ;
tire nation that shrinks from no duty where
duty calls. Wherever the flag Is, as long as
there is an armed foe against 1t, there the flag
shall stay.
That's good enough platform for
anybody.

A RARE MUSICAL TREAT.
The Remenyi Concert Company Here
Next Monday.


According to all accounts the concert
at Hancock hall next Monday evening
promises to be the choicest musical event
since the Mscouda concert year or so
ago.
This concert Is given under the aus
pices of the Ellsworth festival chorus,
and all who attend will not only be amply
repaid by the performance itself, but will
also aid in assisting the chorus, which
has for the past three years worked so
hard to create and maintain due apprecia-
ton for vocal music in this vicinity.
The artists who are to appear, while not
well known here, have nevert heess
already attained a national and some OF
them an international reputation.
Herr Beigei is the foremost Hungarian
pianist of to-day. He Is also a composer;
Sembrich has sung his songs. DeResz ke
said: "You sing on the piano. Your mel
odies are shedding tears" Nine. de-
Reszke. the great tenor's bride, added :
"Your fingers are not actuated by mus
Giles, but by vocal chords" He has sue
cessfuliy toured Russia, Norway. Ger
many, England. He is but thirty years
old, and is already one OF the worlds
leading pianists.

The Summer School.

Next Monday the summer school
will begin its two weeks session in
Ellsworth, and the city will entertain
many visiting teachers. 1t is hoped
the citizens will exert themselves to
make the stay of the visitors pleasant.
We are little afraid that Ellsworth,
with all her reputation for hospitality,
lis inclined to be little Indifferent in
these matters. To say nothing of the
demands of common courtesy toward
the stranger within our gates, there is
a purely selfish side which should
appeal to the commercial instincts of
the business men of the city.
Not many weeks ago conference
of the Congregational churches of
Hancock county was held in Ellis
worth. A gentleman from Southwest
Harbor who attended that convention,
a few days later, in personal letter
to the editor of THE AMERICAN, said:
THAT conference was the poorest-attended
thing of the kind l ever went to. When you
have such things in place your people ought
20 show some decent interest. party of
twelve went from here, aud all did trading, but
none of us liked the Indifference manifested by
the people OF Ellsworth, and shall not go aga n /.

III the place If can help it. III go TO Bangor.
am indignant
The truth, plainly spoken, is like
some medicine-not pleasant to the
taste, but powerful healthy" Els
worth must not lay herself liable to
another such dose.
Next week she will have an oppor-
tunity to redeem herself. Even now
there is demand for more places for
board than have been offered. This
is not matter purely of business-it
is a matter of hospitality. These
teachers who will come among us are
ladies and gentlemen of refinement.
There is no reason why every home
in Ellsworth which can possibly
accommodate one or more should not
be open to them if need be.

ALMOST A RIOT.
Lively Celebration of the Fourth at
Mt Desert Ferry.

The excursion and field day of the
Knights of Columbus, of Bangor, took a
large crowd to "The Bluffs" on the Fourth.
The hose race was won by the Eagles, of
Orono, with Old Town second, Bangor
third, and Dirigos' IT,, OF Brewer, fourth.
From all reports there was pretty
lively time at the Ferry. Though the
managers OF the excursion deny all re-
sponsibiiity, 1t is undoubtedly true that
there was a very rough element in the
crowd. The Bangor Neus says that
drunken toughs from Bar Harbcr" were
responsible for the trouble, which sp-
preached the dignity OF a riot, and inti-
mates that but for the presence OF two
Bangor policemen, whom the reporter
been worse trouble.
Others tell a different story, according
to which Bangor took a pretty large
part in the fight, and the policemen
were anything but heroic.
One Ellsworth man came home badly
used up. There has been talk of crimi-
nal and civil actions, but nothing has
been done.
Ellsworth people recall the fact that
last Fourth, when Bangor crowd came
to Ellsworth, there was general ght all
the way home on the train, with no
drunken tougbs from Bar Harbor" In it,
SO far as appeared in the reports.
Reporting last years fight, the Bangor
Wing said it established a record. The
record seems to have been broken, and
curiously enough, a Bangor crowd was
mixed up In 1t.
