The manager of the copper mine near this place has received a report of a United States government assay of some of their ore lately mined. The assay showed 20.6 ounces of sliver & the ton, which, at $1.10 per ounce, would pay $22.66 per ton. Besides the silver nearly 20 per cent of this ore was copper, making a ton con- siderably over $23 in value. The vein is large,. three feet wide, running in a northeast and southwest direction, with a “pitch,” as the miners say, of 45° from a horizontal plane. The principal county officers elected on May 24th are, with hardly a single exception, out and out democrats. In many an instance the contest was between two democrats. Mr. Lurvick is having a large and commodl- ous building erected on Market street instead of his old butcher's stand. t will havea handsome front, and will ran back about 50 feet. Mr. Stansbury has put a new front to his Jew- eler’s store. The glass is heavy plate, the wood- work ofled ash, the scroll-work arabesque. The Virginia law prohibiting bass fishing from 15th May till Ist July expired in March, 1883; so there may be a law made, like the Maryland law. having a closed season during the month of May. ——_—_--- The Hanilan-Kennedy Race. PREPARATIONS ALL COMPLETE AND BOTH MEN CON- FIDENT OF VICTORY. x The preparations for the boat race at the Point of Pines this afternoon between Hanlan and Ken- nedy were substantially completed yesterday. The Point of Pines is a portion of Revere Beach, formerly known as Chelsea Beach, lying between Boston and Lynn. The beach 1s partly sheltered from the long swell of the Atlantic by the famous island of Nahant. The course 1s three miles and the race ts for a purse of $5,000, each of the oars- men having deposited $2,500 with the stakeholder. All water craft will be compelled to keep well out- side the course, which f3 close to the beach. The card to the public from Hanlan and Kennedy, asking afalr fleld end no favors and requesting that no steamers or tugs be allowed to follow them, will probably result in a general compliance with the request that all craft come to anchor op- posite the course towards Nahant. A special from Boston to the New York World Bal ‘Both men have been settled in their quar- ters since Saturday, and have each taken daily spins over the course. A number of sensational Teports are about that one of the men has sold out, but sporting men do not credit such stories. Ali believe that 1t will be a fatr race. ‘The odds are in Hanlan’s favor. A number of well-known sporting men have quietly closed with all tho friends of Hantan who offered more than two to one on thelr favorite, and the movements of these men has doubtless given rise to the reports that Hanlan would allow Kennedy to win. ‘The interest in this event 1s widespread. Should the day prove pleasant more than 100,000 people are expected wo view the race from the beach and adjacent waters. Extra trains wil be run on all roads. It issatd that the number of persons who propose to come from Portland will certainly be greater than the Faliroads can transport. Hanlan will row in bis new Ruddich boat.
