A Few Dont's.

Don't smoke an old pipe to the door
of church, hall, or neighbours house,
thinking that it will not disturb any one
when you enter, for the scent of your
breath will permeate the whole atmos-
phere.
If you have a turn-up or pug nose,
don't put on airs and turn up that nose
higher, making it more conspicuous,
when you meet a person you dislike, but
be courteous, and perhaps your deform-
ity will be unobserved. Otherwise it
will be taken into account in their sum-
ming up, and this remember, others can
think as i'll of you as you can of them,
and perhaps with good reason. Z.

On Tuesday party of about sixty
business men of Maine, from Brunswick,
Bath, Portland, WestbroOk, and other
towns, visited the property of the Mt.
Glines Gold and Silver Mining Company,
on Mt. Glines in Milton Plantation.
They went from Lewiston by special
train to Rumford Falls, where carriages
were taken for the drive TO Mt. GlineS,
some seven miles. A dinner was served,
after which the company's property was
inspected. A tunnel has been put into
the side of the mountain for several rods,
and above it, on the same veins, shaft
has been sunk. The ore carries gold,
silver lead and copper, varying in value,
according to assays made by a Montreal
ANALYTICAL chemist and assayer, from $40
to S53 a ton. The company have bought
all the mineral rights in this section,
comprising a tract six miles long and
one mile wide. SO far 20 assure veins
of ore have been discovered crossing the
mountain region from north to south.
Six of these veins have been opened, and
samples of the ore assayed showing
similar combination of gold, silver, lead
and copper.
Professor Lee of Bowdoin College, who
was with the party, made careful ex-
animation of the neral trend of the
veins, and the openings made, and pro-
nounced them true assure veins. The
fact that the veins are parallel, said the
professor, shows that they belong to a
system. II have no hesitancy in say
ing" remarked the professor to report
or, ''that these are the most promis-
ing looking quartz veins i have ever seen
in Maine"
The width of the different veins varies
from a few inches to four feet. Speci-
mems of the ore were cut from the veins
and given to the visitors, Some of whom
carried away a small bag filled with
them.
The Mt. Glines Gold and Silver Mining
Co. was organized short time ago, and
is composed of leading citizens of Rum
ford Falls. The prospect for develop
ment of the property is bright. The
officers of the company are as follows:
President. Albert Nile.
General Manager-W. n. McCrtl1s.
Treasurer-Ralph II. Parker.
Clerk-Arthur r. Morrison.
Directors. Abbott Nile, r. Parker, stan
