BETTER THAN GOLD MINES

Maine used to dream OF gold mines,
in Hancock county and all along the
coast from Bangor to Eastport, and
of rich deposits of copper and other
ores.
In that period, 1SS0-1SS5, the land
was honrycombed with shafts and
pits; scores of mining companies
were organized; farmers neglected
their work to gather queer-looking
rocks, which they carried to Bangor,
where assayers gave them encOurag-
ing reports and pocketed the fees.
Stock was sold by the bushel at eight
cents a share and upward, and vast
sums of real money were spent in the
fond hope of extracting millions from
a soil that had never yielded any
thing more valuable than scrub frs.
One day the crash came, and in it
were buried the golden hopes of many
Il lahorrr, shopkeeper, mechanic and
servant girl, who had invested their
savings in the handsomely printed
stock certificates.
But Maine now has some mines
that pay dividends and fool no one,
and their riches are incXhaustible-
the potato fields of Aroostook county.
\ good SIZED potato field is better
than any ordinary gold mine, for it
is easy to work and the product sells
on sight at high prices and without
discount or brokerage fees. Just at
present the farmers of Aroostook are
shipping away about 100 carloads of
potatoes daily, for which, at the rate
of 81 a barrel, they are receiving
about 100000. The big county
(Aroostook is larger than the State
of Connecticut) will send away this
season close to 2O,000,O00 bushels,
or about 7,272,727 barrels, and as
the price, first and last, will average
81 a bushel, the gross receipts will be
not far from S20,O00,0O0, which,
even with all expenses of production
higher than usual, will leave the
farmers between $40, 100000 and
12,000,0 900 clear profit. 1t is doubt
full if any industry, even numbering
in the palmy days, ever yielded that
much profit to Maine in a single
year.

Munitions Blown Up

Two explosions, one at the muni-
tions plant of the Canadian Car and
Foundry Co., at Kingsland, n. Y,
the other at the Dupont Powder Com
pany at Caskell, N. j., wrecked mil
lions of dollars worth of shells and
tons of powder. The loss at the Ca
madam Company plant is estimated
at $4,000, 900. OF this $40, 900, 900
falls upon the Russian Government
who owned the shells, and Sc, 900, 900
upon the company,
At the DUPONT plant it is stated
that 100000 pounds of powder ex-
ploded, and that 2l lives were lost.
The conclusions at both places
were tremendous, it's force wrecking
buildings for miles around.
