AMERICAN CoPPER.--Dr. Houghton. the
State geologist in Michigan, has published
an account of the mineral resources of the
northern peninsula of that State, bordering
on Lake Superior. He states that the ore
found in the greatest abundance is copper.
In opening vain with single blast, DIR.
Houghton threw out nearly two tons of
copper ore, in which were numerous mas
ses of native copper, varying in size from
the minute specks to 40 lbs. in weight.
These copper veins bear strong resem>
blance to those of Cornwall, in England !;
although the percentage yielded is much
greater. Of the specimen of ore examined
by DR. H., not including the native copper.
the per cent of pure metal averaged about
2l.lO, while that of Cornwall, since l77l,
has not exceeded IL per cent. of pure met.
al, and from 1913 to 1922 it was only 80
per cent. The mineral district of Michi.
gan is estimated to be over l35 miles in
length with breadth varying from l to 9
miles.

Our RELATIONS WITH ENGLAND.-At
the present period of vetoes, riots. mur>
ders, robberies. bank suspensions and sui
cides, the nation should reflect on the mis-
understandings existing between Great
Britain and the United States, and prepare
70 meet with composure and unanimity
the threatened difficulties. In relation to
this subject, the New York Herald, of the
lth inst. says: "Our relation with Eng
land are beginning to look squally and
precarious. The change of the English
mlnlstry-the warlike tone of the Troy
press--the rumors of expeditions to this
ccon'lnent-the preparations making by the
English for some unknown expedition, in
olca'e any thing but peace and quiet from
that quarter.
1.-THE Mcleod case and the Boundary
question, the African seizures, and other
matters, are all still unsettled, and, from
every appearance, likely TO continue SO.
We learn, also, that all the British .fortifica-
tons in Canada, Nova Scotia, and her de-
Tendencies, are undergoing through re-

A HARD CAsE.-The Rochester Democrat
states that Mr.. ELIJAH SHAW, aged 10 years,
who has fought the battles Of his country,
against three nations. is now in the poor house
within two miles Of Rochester. He was on
board the Constellation when she captured the
French frgate L'Insurgent, in 1900. In 1903
he was on board the frigate Philadelphia, at
the time other capture off the harbor Of Tripo-
Ii and suffered nine months Imprisonment. He
was on board the frgiate United States, when
she captured the Macedonian. And the Pres
ident, at the time Of her capture by the British
squadron. After the peace he sailed under
Commodore Decatur up the Mediterranean, to
chastise the Barbary powers. This being done,
he sailed with Commodore Porter in the squad
ron that SO effectually destroyed gang oflaw-
less pirates.-St. Louis Pen.

Authentic FROM FLoR1DA.-By COM
munication dated the 9Th instant, received
j, The department Of war, from Col. Worth,
commanding the army in Florida, it APP
pears tina. the number of Indian captures
continues to increase.
On the 9Th of las. month, Serg, Nash,
of the Slh Infantry, captured the remain
der of Coosa Coacoochee's band, five in
number. From these the position Of
twenty-five of Halleck's band was ascer>
tanned. of which Capt. Gwynne succeed
ed, without bloodshed, in securing the
chief and two warriors. The rest had
abandoned their camp before Captain G.
succeeded in penetrating their hiding
place. Their crops, the most fruitful vet
discovered, and covering thirty acres, were
DESTROYED. Two of these confessed hav-
ing participated in the murder of an ex.
press in April last, under the sub-chlef
Waxahadjo, who was secuted at the time
ssd executed. The alternative having
been submitted TO them, of securing the
presence of their people or of sharing the
fate Of their leader, they Immediately dis
patched a messenger to them for Ahat pur-
pose, and no doubt is entertained of sue
cessful result. This capture will proba-
bly, serve to operate upon their chief, Hal
leck, and other bands in the same neighbor-
hood.
The chief Of the Seminole Indians. who
with the Mickasukies, are in the southern
part of the peninsula, had promised to
meet Colonel w. at a place appointed
next moon. The latter manifests, as yet,
no disposition to yield. but strong hopes
are entertained that this will before long
be brought about. Two hundred and one
Indians, in all, are now in Tampa, and
there is every prospect of speedy paci-
hcalioa of the country west Of that place.
The effect of this would be to facilitate the
operations south. Very considerable re-
ductlon has been made in the expenditur-
ees' and every thing promises well.-Nat.
Intel.
