settled by Sir George Popham in 1907,
where colonists built the first Ameri-
can vessel and launched it upon the
kennebec.
The first American vessel was the
pinnace Virginia. and she was not
much of a craft in comparison with
the vessels of today But in those
days, with scarcely a nail to work
with and the builders put to extremes
TO find the iron for bands and the
tools wherewith to fashion the timber,
the completion of the vessel was re-
garded as a great achievement. The
Virginia was about sixty feet in length
and in modern measurement would
register about forty tons. She made
several voyages between jamestown
and Virginia.
After the construction and depar-
ture of the Virginia il was nearly sew
enty years before the keel of another
vessel was laid on the shores of the
Kennebec. Then Sir William Phipps
established a yard at Woolwich So
the industry grew and flourished. The
building of ships has been the princi-
pal industry Of Bath for $50 years,
and hundreds of splendid craft have
been put afloat during that time. the
tonnage amounting TO over 1.O0OO0O
since the time of establishing the gov
eminent record in 1873. Once the
forests of Maine provided every stick
of timber used in the craft built along
the Kennebec. Today only the most
unimportant stringers and stanchions
are found in the wilderness of the
North, nearly everything being
brought to the place of construction
from the West and South. While
there is now no such activity in the
yards as prevailed up to fifteen or
twenty years ago, Bath is still busy
and the prospect is bright
The celebration which began today
will take up the greater part of a
week, and not only will include exer-
cises and demonstrations to be held IN
this city, but also at Popham Beach.

PoLITENEss A NECESSITY.

1t does not cost anything to be po-
lite to your friends and acquaintances.
and incidentally t goes a long way
self.
civil answer makes more friends
than gruff one. and a smile succeeds
where frown fails.
We have no right to impose our lit
tie tempers and annoyances on our
fellow beings.
The fact that one person annoys us
does not Justify us in visiting 1t on
the next person we meet.
And yet that is what a great many
of us do. One trivial annoyance often
upsets us for the whole day.
Some people have the happy knack
of showing courtesy to every one with
whom they come in contact
1t is a delightful quality, and one
which brings its possessor great popu-
larity.
Abruptness is hard fault to cure.
and yet think ii can be done.
You see, it is so easy to hurt peo-
pies feelings by speaking abruptly to
them.
1t may be done unintentionally. but
nevertheless the fact remains that 1t
is done.
And the funny thing about It is
that those who are most given 20
hurting others are generally very
easily hurt themselves.-Beatric
Fairfax in the Butte Miner.

The Denver Republican has al
ways avoided the fallacies and
knaveries of yellow journalism.
and its steadily increasing Circula-
ton proves conclusively that its
policy of telling the plain Truth
without exaggeration or misrepre-
sentation. standing fast for the
Right, is heartily approved with
growing force by the intelligent
Public to which it appeals.
To read it is liberal Education,
and the citizen who goes without
it does positive harm to himself,
to his family, and to the commit
nifty.
In no other way can the invest
ment of ~ cents per day
for that is all The Republican
costs any subscriber-bring such
rich results in that knowledge
which is both Power and Pleasure.
Information. instruction and en-.
tertainment fill its columns and it
leaves a good taste in the mouth
OF the reader.

The La Jara chronicle., 1907-06-14

The trio of young men who
insulted three young women on
the street shortly after nightfall,
Sunday night, escaped within a
hairs breadth of feeling the iron
hand of the law laid upon them,
and it was only due to a delicacy
as regards publicity that the par
ents of the girls refrained from
taking such steps. If these bloods
are laboring under the impression
that because they have received
an education away from the little
town of La Jara they can unre-
servedlv offend its people by ex-
hibiting their coarse and brutal
natures, they have another guess
coming. Penitentiaries are full of
educated criminals, and no excep-
tions can be taken in many of
their cases as regards the actions
referred to in this article. A good
job in the potato patch would
in all probability tone down these
exuberant youths, and save the
expenditure OF several hundred
dollars for the education of ten
cent boy.

running $1,000 ton has been found
on the Winston Block of the Cornish

shoot was run through in crosscut
that was driven west from a depth

Close in importance is the strike

Returns from rs tons from the

being shipped without sorting. The

from PIG tons, giving $4,000, or
$95 a ton. 1t is shipping 80 tons

RAMSEY DISTRICT IS
ACTIVE At PRESENT

RAMSEY, New, Aug. 21.-With
more men being put on at the va
riouS mines, many new companies
getting under action, new machinery
arriving, regular shipments going out
and a lot of annual assessment and
prospecting work going on, this dis
trict is surely active at the present
time. While the camp suffered a
| few weeks of comparative dullness,
that has been generally noted, it is
recuperating in way that Is decld-
edly favorable and an active fall sea-
son is on.
Another shipment of high-grade
ore from the Ramsey-Comstock mine
is about all loaded and will soon be
| forwarded to the Utah smelterS
Other shipments will Immediately
follow, there being lot of ore now
stopped out and sacked, ready for the
teams to haul out. The usual force
of men is kept busy drifting on the
ore shoots, others Stopping out ore
and are keeping a big supply of the
rich product ahead.
Additional help has been put on
to make up three shifts for sinking
the two-compartmen shaft from the
third to the fourth level. The for
nation is favorable and they are
making rapid headway. High-pres
sure will be kept up until the nexl
level is reached and the crosscui
driven through to the hanging wal
of the ledge.
A big pile of sacked ore is accumu
lating on the dump at the Walkovel
mine since drifting has been IL
progress on the last vein struck. Tht
ore shoot is widening little "a the
while, and consequently it is posi-
BILE to constantly increase the output
Shipments will soon be on the roat
from this property.
The Walkover company announces
that large force of men is to be pu
on at once, as they are to put up
hoist to sink a deep shaft and viii
keep right on drifting and stopini
out the high-grade ores for ship
ment. The property has stroni
backing and there is no question tha
it will be vigorously worked.
