* * * * * The Portland Smelting and Reduction


Works are now in successful operations and cargoes of ore for reduction are received in suffi cient numbers to keep it busy. On Fri- day the schooner TIARA, Captain Chatto, arrived with a cargo of copper ore from one of the mines at Blue Hill, Hancock county. [Sunday Times]


* * * * * 9702 The Blue Hill correspondent of the


Commercial writes: “Along the wharves in our harbor it is very busy. Schooner OREZ- EMBO is discharging lime rock for Twin Lead; schooner ORONTES the same for the Douglass; schooner ORANAS iron slag for the Douglass; MINNIE CHACE, lumber for F. A. Giddings; PYTHON, freight for M. K. Chase. The place has been full of strangers for the past fortnight, the smelting operations at the Douglass mine being the principle attraction. It is safe to predict that this company or mine will surprise its most sanguine friends in the coming fortnight; ingot copper will be brought out as soon as the refi ning furnace can be fi nished. The cupola and the reverberatory furnaces are running on full-time and doing their work well. Matte as high as 67 to 75 percent has been produced.”


Page 363 and 364. Gilbert, Crandon & Company, the well-


known expressmen, transact a large express business between the cities and towns in Maine, especially between those along or near the coast. This line by the promptness and despatch with which packages are sent and delivered at the points of destination and the uniform courtesy and faithfulness of the messengers has speedily come into very popular favor and has already secured a business of large proportions. The principle offi ces are at 10 West Market Square in this city, 65 Exchange Street in Portland and 75 Kirby Street in Boston. Packages are taken from Bangor to Boston and intermediate landings on the steamers of the Sanford

Line, and to Portland, Machias or towns on the Eastern coast by the steamers of the Portland & Machias Steamboat Company. Mr. Gilbert, the senior member of the fi rm, is a veteran in the express business and attends in person to the business between Portland and Machias making regular trips on the steamer LEWISTON. The extension of the line to Bangor and the towns on the Penob- scot River is very recent but the wisdom of the project is already demonstrated and a rapidly growing business has been secured.


The Portland, Bangor and Machias


Steamboat Company is one of the most popular lines in eastern waters. The staunch steamers LEWISTON and CITY OF RICH- MOND are universal favorites with the travelling public. Hon. Edward Cushing, the General Manager of the line, devotes himself assiduously to the interests of the company and the great success which has at- tended them is in no small manner due to his executive skill. The steamers are offi cered with courteous and obliging gentlemen who are ever on the alert to add to the comfort and welfare of the passengers and it is indeed a pleasure to travel on the steamers of this line. The CITY OF RICHMOND is commanded by Captain Dennison, and the LEWISTON by Captain Deering. The RICHMOND runs during the summer between Portland and Mount Desert and the LEWISTON between Portland and Machias. Connection is made at Rockland with the steamers of the Sanford Line for this city. The amount of travel to Mount Desert on these steamers is very large and constantly increasing. The managers of this line are entitled to a large share of credit in bringing this wonderful island to the attention of the public.

Summer visitors at Mount Desert and


other island and coast resorts in Eastern Maine should not fail to visit the already famous “Copper Camp” otherwise known as Blue Hill. Aside from the attractions of the mines themselves, it is really a charming village and the numerous stage and steamer lines have rendered it easy of access and brought it into daily communication with nearly all surrounding points. By far the pleasantest way to reach it, however, is by the staunch little side wheel steamer HENRY MORRISON, either from Rock- land or Ellsworth. The steamer is fi nely, caparisoned throughout, has recently been supplied with an entirely new steel boiler, is very fast, and the route which she tra- verses cannot be excelled for picturesque


beauty and romantic scenery anywhere on the coast. Captain Crockett is a most genial and courteous gentleman, who personally looks after the welfare of his passengers and takes pleasure in pointing out the prin- ciple objects of interest along the route. Mr. Lovejoy, the gentlemanly clerk, and indeed all connected with the boat, do all in their power to make the trip enjoyable and, to strangers, one long to be remembered. The cuisine is also most excellent; and a dinner aboard, partaken of while the steamer is threading her way through the crooked and narrow passages among the islands of this rugged coast, lingers long in the memory. The HENRY MORRISON will, during the summer months, make three trips a week, each way between Rockland and Ellsworth, touching at Northwest Harbor and Green’s Landing (Deer Isle) and at Blue Hill and Surry.
