Schooner Hume Ashore at Bluff Head
in the Nennebec.

Bath, Me, May 29.-The schooner
Hume. bound from Bath to Rockland,
in sailing down the river, today, ran
ashore at Bluff Head. She is in charge
Of Capt. J.. ". Thomas and it is sup
posed that the captain perhaps was
unfamiliar with the river and lost his
bearings, being blown ashore. 1t is
customary for vessels to take Il tow in
going down river but for some reason,
Captain Thomas chose to go under sail.
At low tide, the Hume was high and
dry. Lines from the vessel We're tied

can be floated all right at high tide.

Same Coudisioos viii Prevail Here.

A few years ago the mines around
Rossland, B. c., could not afford to ship
ore valued at less than tl6 per ton. The
charges for freight and smelter treat
ment amounted to ti+. Later, these
charges were decreased to 81 per ton,
and about u year ago the smelters re.
duced the rats for freight and smelling
to $3.50 per ton. A recent contract
made by the War Eagle and Center
Star mines with the smelter enables
them to ship ore valued ut - yer ton,
although they ship n quantity Of high
grade ore with the low grade. The
terms of the contract between these
mines aud the smelter are n. ~ per ton
for freight and treatment. This IL most
important for the future prosperity Of
Rossland, the majority Of the ore mined
around the city being Of low grade. With
these cheap rates for freight and smelt.
ing, there are hundreds Of mines in the
