BLUEHlLL COPPER.
Transfer OF Mines Said to Fore
shadow Boom.


There is prospects that copper mining
operat ions at Biuehili, which ceased in
1850 because the cost OF production ex-
ceeded he value Of the metal, will be re-
sumed this summer. The recent sale OF
the Dunn properties to John ). Paul, OF
New York, lends color to the mining
talk. Capt. Dunn OF BiuehiIl, Is quoted
as saying of the mines and their pros
poets:
"rhe reason why the B.uehill copper
mines ceased operating twenty odd years
ago." said Capt. Dunn, ais very simple
one. At that time 1t cost IL cents pound
to produce copper from the Bluehill mines.
Owing to tue vast output OF the Lake
Superior copper mines the market price
OF copper was reduced to 10 cents pound,
SO our mines could no longer be worked,
except al loss.
"But to- day the conditions have changed.
Improved met hods OF treating the ore and
improved methods OF digging the ore
from the lodes have reduced the expense
OF production fully one-third OF what 1t
was twenty-five years ago. And day
the market price OF copper is considerably
higher, running from IA to 16 cents
pound, according to quality.
"The Bluehill copper belt is about four
miles long and one-kalf mile wide. The
ores carry from to 80 per cent. of cop
per, averaging over u per cent. ton.
The OF her metals in the ore are chiefly
iron, sulphur and zinc. Formerly the ore
had to be shipped to Baltimore for treat
ment, but the plan now is to erect smeit-
ing works, with all the modern improve
ments. at Ellsworth and send the ore
there. A strong company is being organ
lied, and the work Of operating VIII be
renewed in the near future"
From other sources 1t Is learned that
two OF the siiver-lead mines at Sullivan
aud Gouldsboro are TO be operated again.
In 1873 nearly dozen silver-lead mines
were being worked in that section, but
tina ore proved to be too refractory to be
made to pay by the process of treatment
then In use. But the application OF eiee-
tricity has cheapened the cost OF reducing
refractory ores very materially, and the
owners feel confident there Is to-day
money to be made in operating them.
The silver lead mines in Sheiburne and
Gorham, N. H., are also soon to be opened
again. These mines were operated as far
back rs 1916 by London company, but
the excitement which followed the dis
covery OF gold in California caused the
silver lead mines to be abandoned. These
mines will be reopened by New York and
Boston capitalists.

no less than 90 teeth. Teeth are no mart
OF the skeleton, but bslong to the appen-
dsges, like skin aud hair.
The siurgeoa is toothless and draws in
IT'S food by suction, but the shark has
hundreds OF teeth set in rows that some
times number ten.
HOLSTERS and csabs nasticate their food
with their horuy Jaws, but they have also
s7is OF teeth IN their stomachs. where
they complete the work OF chewing.
But there is one peculiar kind Of crab.
esiied The iAg, os horseshoe crab, which
chews its food wiih iis legs, grinding the
inotseis between ifs thighs before it
posses hem over 60 IT'S mouth.

Dogs se'zs their food with their Jaws.
cats with their feet, and so do monkeys,
some OF them pressing their prehensile
tais into service. The squirrel uses its
paws TO carry Its food to its mouth, the
elephant It's trunk. the giraffe, anteater
and toad their tongues.
Spiders chew their food with horny
Jaws, wDich are sharp enough to give
quite nip.
Grssshoppers and locusts are very we'll
provided with the necessary machinery
Tor eating much and often. They have
ssw-iise jaws and gizzards, too, the latter
being fitted out with horny teeth.
The caterpillar feeds with two saw
edged jaws, working transverseIy, and
uses them to such good advantage that be
eats three or four times his own weight
every day.
Toads, tortoises, turtles, and most
lizards have no teeth. Frogs have teeth
In their upper jaw only. Anteaters,
sloths and arnadiIlos have no teeth.
The lion and the tiger, and, indeed,
most OF the carnivora, do not grind their
food, using their jaws only up and down,
the molars acting like chopping knives,
or rather scissors. Their mouths In fact
are verita BILE hash mill.
The butterfly pumps nectar into itself
through tube, and bees and flies suck
up their food with q long tongue or a
pfoboscis.
The spiders mouth Is quite q compli-
Gated affair. 1t has fangs for holding Its
prey, unsatisfactory organs for bruisiDg its
solid food, and sucking apparatus for
taxing up she fluids. Quite as compli-
Gated is the mouth Of the mosquito, which
consists OF the isnces, the saws, and the
pumping tubes.
The leech has three saws, with which 1t
does good service in the phlebotomy line.
The woodpecker has a three baroed
tongue like a Fijtan's spear. with which it
draws out he worm. which 1t has excited
by its tapping.
The clam feeds nth a siphon and the
oyster with It's beard.
Strange and curious as some of these
modes of feeding are, however, they none
OF them compare in simplicity and
effectiveness with that practiced by the
tspeworm. This creature has neither
mouth nor stomach, bat just lays along
aud ahsorbs the already digested food
through Its skin.

nCuncement OF hos coming appointment
Will prove an agreeable surprise.
It was stated in this city last night that
this was but rumor. and Father Then

boards would have TO be called before
such an appointment was made. and this
: ould take some time. This position OF
ccsdjutor is an Office ss an assistant to
the archbishop. and If the archbishop
dies the coadjutor succeeds TO the posi-
ton Bishop Hennessey has been in this
diocese fourteen years. He has done much
