LARGEST NICKEL MINE IN
WORLD BEING DEVELOPED IN
MAINE.

1t is gradually becoming known that
the big deposits of nickel in Rumford
are likely to be the source of supply
of good share of the worlds demand
for this metal for years to come. The
Importance of this statement is hard
ly realized without a personal visit to
the mineralized territory where a
modern concentrating mill is now in
operation and about a ton of valuable
concentrate is being made daily. 1t has
been known that the Appalachians are
highly mineralized in places but only
a very few prospectors have ever been
able to convince investors that the ore
bodies We're of commercial value. 1t
remained for Mr.. w. n. McCrillis Of
Rumford Falls to locate, promote and
develop into producing mine the big
property now spoken of, and in doing
So he has not only opened wide the
eyes OF the citizens there, but has cap
ifalihee the company almost solely by
the visits Of outside investors to the
property. In describing briefly the
formation Of the deposit We believe we
do only justice to matter of import
ance to this state as 1t seems to de-
termine that in the future a great
wealth may be taken from the noun
tains in Oxford county. 1t sounds
rather Jules Verneish to say 1t, but
expert mining engineers who have ex-
amined the property for investors,
have placed shots in 100 different
places on mountain of nearly solid
schistose, or micaceous schist of fine
grain which lie th0rntnhl,,
lmpregnated with pyrrhotite contain

were made samples showed the same

Mr.. McCrillis has complete Acton
concentrating mill located admirably on
the side OF the mountain where the ore
Is crushed, concentrated and the tail
ings allowed to flow by gravity to the
dump. A big reservoir with stone dam

water enough to run 1000-ton plant.
In addition to this the river 1000 feet
away Is tapped and may be used IL

ing wood on the mountain and the best
mining engineers in the country have
placed the cost Of successful crushing
and milling the ore at not over 20
cents per ton. IL Is mined in quarry,
not tunneled and the mining expense is
notover 10cents per ton on ore delivered
to the crushers. The concentrate to-
day being made at this mill averages
2 percent nickel, 10 percent copper
and about Sc in gold and silver, the
ore being taken from near the surface

Indian Marriage Custom.

case arising out Of the terrible custom
of infant marriage In that country.
The daughter OF Mr.. Justice Mooker.
ice. a le-.ned Hindu, was married
when she was under 10 years OF age,
and she became a widow two months
after the ceremony. Though he could
not resist the early marriage custom
sanctioned by his creed, the Judge
stood out against that other custom
which condemns the child widow to
lifelong misery In her dead husbands
family. and he determined to have her
married again. The husbands reIa.
tiyes claimed and obtained a power of
guardianship over her child, but be-
fore It could be exercised the second

Oranges by the Shipload.

The Chicago Packer printed an item
to the effect that London syndicate
had a representative in California who
thought that there would be money in
sending California oranges to London
by the shipload, the fruit to be loaded
in trains and taken to Galveston and
there transferred to a steamer which
the syndicate would have in waiting.
Possibly this may have been but the
windy talk of a reporter. But if any
one had any serious thought of doing
such a thing, it would pay him to look
around little before going in too
heavily.
Florida oranges are, to say the least,
fully equal to those of California in
quality and ability to stand transporta-
ton. They could be loaded into the
steamer at either Jacksonville or Tam
pa with a much shorter railroad haul
than would be necessary in the case Of
the California fruit. Either city we
have mentioned is nearer to London
than Galveston, SO that freight rates
would be less and the saving in time
considerable Pineapp1es have been
sent to England from Florida success
fully and prohtably, and that too, when
sent by the roundabout route of 60
ing to New York and thence by steam
er We believe that steamer line
from this state to England would be
profitable during the fruit season.
The Florida agriculturist., 1908-03-01
The Orange Industry.

What is the prospect for the future?
Is there a reasonable probability that
it will continue to be as profitable as
it has been? To this, we answer, yes,
and no. By this we mean that it de-
pends on the grower very largely. The
grower who is careful to get the best
varieties, takes care of his grove ac-
cording to the most approved methods,
and when it fruits, puts up his crop in
the best possible manner, and uses
good judgment in marketing, will find
it profitable, no matter how many thou-
sand acres of groves may be set out.
But the slipshod, careless grower is
going to have harder and harder
time each year as time passes. We
see from the fruit trade papers that
there is boom of orange planting in
Texas. One man is reported to be set
ting 1000 Satsumas On seven acres,
with the avowed purpose of increasing
this to forty acres At another place,
a lady has orange trees on a strip OF
land 3ox8o feet, from which she has
this season, sold SIS worth Of oranges,
and her trees are only six years Old
The yield was at the rate of about
ST. 500 per acre. At ten years, with
equal productiveness, the crop would
bring nearly $4,000 per acre. This is
the kind of competition which our
growers must meet.
