CALTOH HILL.-;-In excavating the grAund for the
foundation of the new' High School of Edinburgh,
several beautiful specimens of copper ore have been
dug up. We have seen one of them, which appears to
be of great value, and from one in our possession, a

Britain of richer quality. The indications of a valuable
mine are at this moment very considerable, and a minute
'examination will of course follow. The Gentleman,
who obtained the first specimen, is having a medal
struck from it, .which he intends to embellish with the
City arms, and present to the Lord erovost and Magis.
