at the large pumping engine at Ladypoor, worked by the South Staff ordshire Mines Drainage Commissioners, says the Colliery Guardian, by which the lower portion of the bottom lift became disconnected and fell to the bottom of the shaft. As it was found im- possible to raise the fallen portion, weighing 8 tons, by ordinary means, it was decided to employ a diver, and one from Essex was sent for. He succeeded in fi nding the lower portion of the lift at a depth of 100 feet under water. This he safely attached to the capstan rope, by which it was raised. The engine was then very quickly re-instated, both time and expense having thus been saved. As this experiment succeeded so well the same man has again been called in during the week by the commissioners to give an estimate for removing the pumps now un- derwater at Stow Heath. The subject sought is the removal of the pumps and the engine to some more suitable place. The diver has descended the shaft, and, after hearing his report, the engineers are now considering the advisability of carrying out the scheme mentioned.


Page 139. The Bangor and Bar Harbor Steamship


Company have during the past summer done a very large business. The CITY OF BANGOR and MAY FIELD are very pop- ular steamers and are great favorites of the traveling public.


Page 172. It has been predicted that Mount Des-


ert will yet rival Newport as a place of summer resort, and certain it is that travel thitherward has increased with wonderful rapidity within the past two years, and with the advent of the present season the Portland, Bangor and Machias Steamboat Company was obliged to abandoned its Penobscot River route and send both steamers on the direct route from Portland to Mount Desert. An indication of the growing popularity of Bar Harbor is had from the fact that over 600 mechanics were given employment in the erection of hotels, cottages and busi- ness establishments between the close of last season and the opening of the present, and all the dwelling places have had their capacity taxed this year. The LEWISTON and the RICHMOND are among the best equipped and offi cered steamers in eastern waters, and the routes of their travel are through the most beautiful thoroughfares and archipelagoes to be found in the world. For these reasons the enthusiastic travelers make the prediction concerning the rivalry between Bar Harbor and Newport. [Boston Globe]

he had ever been, replied that he had been so far North that “the cows when milked beside a red hot stove gave ice cream.”

envelopes which contain the negatives, Kosti’s write-ups on the shoot, and contact sheets with selected images marked with wax pencil. It’s an amazing backstage look at the photo magazine work process. Kosti was vocal in his write-ups as to his opinion on selects and cropping. He had clear ideas of what he was going for in a shoot, and a study of the contact sheets shows how he went about realizing his vision and his meth-


od of approaching a photo story. More than a third of his assignments were Maine-based. The Penobscot Marine Museum is


thrilled to be entrusted with this Maine trea- sure. We will begin a search for funding that will cover the costs to catalog, re-house and digitize the collection. It will be ultimately be made available to browse for free in the museum’s online database. Kosti’s cousin, Janice Lachance, said “Kosti would be very happy to know his photographs have returned to Maine.”

The Ellsworth American says: A com- pany of wealthy gentlemen have purchased land in Milbridge of Captain William P. Sawyer and are to build a wharf 60 feet wide running to the channel, near the steamboat wharf. They are to erect a sardine factory on the wharf 125 feet long and two stories high, the whole to be completed by the fi rst of next March. They are contracting with the owners of weirs to furnish herring at a certain price for two years. I believe the price agreed upon is $200 per hhd. They will employ about 300 hands in the manufacture of sardines.”
