RED oAK.-A mild sensation was
oreated in mining circles last week by a
rumored find of rich ore in the Red Oak,
situated on the northeast slope of Mont
oomery hill. A visit to the mine on
Monday. however, failed to reveal any
thing Of a sensational character. The
shaft is 100 feet in depth and only small
values are obtained.
HAPPY HooLIGAN.-The Wine be-
ing sunk on the Happy Hooligan is now
60 feet deep and is still in a fair grade
of ore. The vein being followed shows
every evidence of ~permanency and while
the grade of ore found will not bear

tory.
CRYSTAL sPEIEGs.-In a surface
trench on the Crystal Springs group a
large vein of sulphide bearing quartz
was opened up this week. The rock
carries considerable value and is some

near Indian Springs assays were re-
ceived of $40 from quartz taken from a
~ten-foot shaft. The ore is badly broken
up and further development will be re-
-quired to determine it's extent and value.

State Assessors In Session.

F. NJ Simpson of Bangor, Otis Hay
ford of Canton and George Pottle of
Lewiston, constituting the Maine State
board of Assessors, with James Plum
mer of Augusta, clerk OF the board and
E D. Haytord, assisting clerk were in
ses sion at the courthouse Tuesday and
Wednesday.
The assessors devote their efforts dur
ing the year succeeding each legislative
session to sscertaining the valuation of
property in the 500 or more organized
cities, towns and plantations of the state
and in the course of their investigation
plan to visit many of the municipalities
and confer with their officers and give
an opportunity for any one who chooses
to appear before them. The second of
the two years intervening between the
sessions of the legislature is more es-
pt cially given over to the valuation of
wild lands, SO called, that is, land in
in unorganized townships. Eight only
of the IL counties of Maine contain un-
organized townships, namely, Franklin,
ingtoD, Penobscot, Pisoataquis and Ok
ford, and during the present year the
assessors will hold a meeting ia the
shire town and at other convenient
points in each of the counties named
Notices are sent to the owners of wild
land so far as known and announcement
of the meeting given in the papers &c
that all interested parties have an op
portunity to be present On their visi
to each shire town also the ASSESSOR
confer with the county officers and ar
range to make copies of such reco1dl
and township plans as will assist then
in their investigation.
The lack of suitable plans of the wilC
land townships has made it exceed
ingly difficult, and in some instances
practically impossible, to give a DIES
cripton in assessing the taxes on THU
property that would allow the state Il
enforce collection by tax sale as is pro
vided by the statute, and for the pas
two years plans have been maturing t,
supply the necessary details. The las
Legislature made an appropriation o
$500 for the purpose and plans of thes'
townships are now being prepared a
fast as practicable This effort to sys
tematize the assessment of wild LAM
taxes will result in a great saving to tn
state and the same plans can also b.
made use of by county officers in asses
sing county taxes on the same property
1t will also eliminate more or less con
fusion as to boundaries and titles to thi
class of property and thus tend to secur
justice for all concerned

Skowhegan Grange

Skowhegan Grange held a regular
meeting last evening with an attendance
to such number that practically every
available seat in the hail was occupied.
The third and fourth degrees we're con-
ferred on a large class and the degree
team, after performing their part in iui-
tiating the candidates, gave series Of
beautiful marches and tableaux, afford
ing a most delightful entertainment for
over half an hour.
II seems that the Skowhegan Grange
degree team was organized about eight
years since and for ak years gave these
drills in connection with the work of the
third and fourth degree on every occa
sion when these degrees were conferred
Besides appearing at the meetings of
Skowhegan grange they have twice ap.
peared before the state Grange at its an
nual meetings and on occasions when
/ Skowhegan Grange has visited other
oranges in this county. During the six
years subsequent to their organization
|
mel of the team which made a continue
ton of their work more and more diff
cult and for the past two years il has
been practically discontinued
After the retirement of the degree
team last evening, Y A. Withee, who
was instrumental in the formation and
in perfecting their work, made a short
speech to the grange in which the above
nofo
further stated that the team had made
the effort to get together for the work
of last evening to demonstrate their in
terest in the marriage of worthy master
Fred K Hill which had occurred on the
previous Monday evening He also an.
nounced that the difficulties in the way
of the team continuing its work were in.
surmountable and that they had voted
to disband. He believed that the work
should at ence be taken up by the
younger members and recommended that
steps be taken to form a new team al
once
The committee who are at work on a
program for the ensuing year announced
that they were ready to receive sugges
tions from members of thu grange. Any
one having subject which they would
like included in next years meeting,
should communicate with r. p. Pencil
chairman of the committee.
Mention was made of Veterans Meet
ing on the evening of July Alb. the full
program for which is published in an
other column.
Mrs. G. d Miller read a paper OF
Luther Burbank, the Californian WHOSE
marvellous work in the development o
plant life is now attracting world wild,
attention, and Miss Alice Getchell fay
ored the grange with a humorous poem
The evening concluded with supper il

In WASHINGTON.

On Wednesday an air-ship, which at
tracted great attention, twice circled
the Washington monument, passed over
the newspaper offices and the capitol.
The air ship was under complete con
troll and the several flights successful.
The Statehood compromise, as it was
reported from the committee, was re.
ceived with cheer in the House Il pro
vides that the electors of Arizona and
New Mexico, voting separately, shall de-
eide on Nov. 8 whether or not the two
teri tories shall be admitted as one state
and that delegates to a joint state con-
vention shall be chosen at the same
time, but no state officials
On Thursday, Speaker Cannon took
the floor and administered a scathing
rebuke to Marcus A. smith, the Ariz ma
delegate, who had insinuated there had
been undue influence used in postponing
an agreement in conference on the
Statehood bill. He received tremend-
GUS applause from both sides, and was
really +" the old man eloquent"
BY vote of 10 to 80 the House on
Friday, at the end of two years de-
bate on the appropriations for the Pana-
ma canal, decided that the canal should
be of a lock type. The House refused
to sanction the purchase of materials in
the markets of the world for the Pana-
ma canal, the general position of the
Republicans being that as the canal
was to be built by American taxes, the
american worki1gman and the Ameri-
can manufacturer should have the ad-
vantage.
The committee on agriculture has
prepared a bill on beef inspection,
which provides that the government
shall pay the cost of inspection, and
provides heavy penalties for vio-
lating any of its provisions. The bill
has been amended so as to make it salts
factory to the President. It will author.
ize an annual appropriation of SO, 100000
to pay the cost of inspection. The court
review provision will not be contained
in this measure.
Speaker Cannon says that he expects
Congress will close up business and get
away from Washington by the first of
July. Regarding the meat inspection
legislation Mr.. Cannon reiterated his
opinion that safe and sane legislation
will be enacted.
