PROSPECT HARBoR, MAINE, July g..
Editor Democrat:
Your correspondent and family are
staying few weeks with relatives in
the village of Prospect Harbor which
lies on the main land east from Bar Har-
Dor and distant perhaps II or II miles.
This village is about the size of West
Paris, running around the harbor in a
semicircle and extending back from it,
containing two churches, lighthouse,
two Sardine factories, four or five stores
and the GouldSboro town hall, also
wood and lumber yards. Ii is tidy,
well-kept village with a village improve
ment society, and the peOble take great
pride in their pretty village.
Several of the people are engaged in
clustering and fish are plenty and cheap,
HOLSTERS sell here for Is cents, which is
paid at the collecting boat, which car
ries them TO Rockland or Portland to
market. The kinds of fish taken are
cod, both rock and common, pollock,
paddock, bake, cusk, founders and an
occasional halibut, which sells here for
10 cents pound. The other kinds sell
here for or cents pound at the boat,
and it is as nice and fresh as fish can be
An occasional porpOiSe or seal some
times floats in here, and two years ago
two whales came in, in plain sight OF
people on the shore.
Some farming is done here on a rather
small scale, but orcharding does not
seem to thrive SO near salt water, and
fruit is scarce and consequently high in
price.
The business of the place centers
largely around the two sardine factories,
where large quantities of fish are packed
daily. The fish are small herrings
which are packed in mustard and oil.
Only the new factory is used for putting
up fish, the old one being used last win
a storehouse. The new factory is a
large, commodious building with all the
latest improvements and conveniences,
where 800 buSlel of fish are handeled
daily. The supply of fish seems in
exhaustible, 420 bushels being brought
in July Sd, 400 bushels July 9Th, and
200 bushels are expected to-day, July 6.
Ii is not regular supply and cannot
wholly be depended upon.
The method of packing the fish in
cans may be of interest. They are first
dumped on long tables, where women
and men dextrously chop OFF the heads
then they are packed in salt to remain a
few hours, then taken out and spread on
flakes and dried in room heated with
hot air from the furnace, then spread in
large tin pans and cooked in oil, The
oil is then drained off, the fish are cool
ed, packed in the familiar sardine car
along with a small quantity of olive oil
packed in wooden boxes containing Sc
cans of mustards or 100 of those packed
in oil, those packed in oil being smaller,
and then they are ready for market.
This is the early part of the packing
season, 5000 boxes only having been
packed.
The people here are very pleasant, and
il is a genuine pleasure to meet with
them again and renew old acquaintance.
