AMERICAN CoPPER.-The Detroit

AMERICAN CoPPER.-The Detroit Ad-
vertiser says: I'VE are informed by a
gentleman of the highest intelligence, con
nected W it'll the Government agency, that
at the Ontonagon river, in the vicinity of
the locality Of the famous copper rock, one
hundred and twenty seven pits or shafts
have been dug-in all Of which, with two
exceptions, native copper ore has been
found. AT Copper Harbor, one OF the To-
cations Of the United States agency, seYe-
raj tons OF ore have been obtained and Sent
to this city, The average Of these ores,
as they came from the bed, has been redu-
ced here, and produced over twenty per
cent. pure copper. In the neighborhood,
other important discoveries iof copper
have been mads, but not worked. AT Ea-
gle river, twenty miles above, very rich
veins Of copper have been discovered and
are being worked. At Isle Royale, oppo-
site Eagle river, fifty five miles north, a
vein has also been found. This has been
explored by the Government, agent, and
several parties of citizens, and ores found
to be as productive as al any point These
are but few of the points which have been
examined. The comparison of the ores
in this district with those Of Cornwall and
other mining countries, shows immensely
in favor Of the ores Of Lake Superior. The
ores analysed by DR.. Houghton, produced
per centage of pure metal, varying from
9.5 to 52.72, the average stated at 2Il0.
The average produce of the ores of Corn
wall, since l771, has never exceeded II
per cent. OF pure metal; and from 1918
to 1922, only 2 per cent. II is but pro-
per TO add, that examinations of other gen.
tlemen place the per centage Of our ores
even higher than the analysis of DR.
Houghton.''

The MAMMOTH STEAMBoAT.-Wc learn

known enterprise and wealth in that city,
are building at the ship yard of Capt. g.
w. Jones, leviathan craft to be the lar
gest steamboat afioat on fresh water She
is 10 be commanded BY Capt Howe, whom
every body knows. Her dimensions are
thus described by the Herald:
Her keel is two hundred and irty-four
feet; and would have been longer was
there straight place on the Cuyahoga.
where she could be launched. So says
Howe, and we are bound to believe him,
as he never jokes. On deck she will be
two hundred and sixty-fve feet, and W II
measure twelve hundred tons bur,hen.
Her dining cabin on the upper deck, will
be two hundred and thirty feet, on each
side Of which state rooms large and airy
not closets. with berths wide and commo-
deus, SO that one will feel that he is in
bed and not laid on shelf with piece OF
tape over him-a ladies' saloon at The end
of the dining cabin, and a promenade
shielded from the weather, around the en-
tire boat.
Her engine is TO be built 1nder the su.
perintendence Of Mr.. E. Rogers, by tie
Cuyhoga Steam Furnace Company, f. T.
Sterling. agent; and inasmuch as the bes,
engines OIL lake Eric, have been built BY
this company, there is no doubt the five
hundred horse power Of tais machine, will
drive this leviathan with her sharp bow
and clean stern, at rate not to be beaten
Her wheels will be thirty feet in diameter
with buckets of twelve feet. Her model is
faultless. say the veterans OF the lakes, and
to our lubber eyes, she most fully realizes
the majestic conception Of the poet
She walks the water like thing of life,
And seems to dare the elements to strife.
What she is 10 be called is not vet
known. She must have big name, for
if money aud skill can make complete
steamboat, we Clevelanders will have a
chance to brag, about next August. that the
biggest boat out was built and furnished
entirely at this port.

A BIG TREE.-Dr. c. Turrel Of this
town says the Dunkirk Beacon, recently
felIed and hauled to De Wits saw mill, a
white wood tree 10 feet in length, > l-2
feet at the butt, ID fleet at the top, and,
exclusive of The bark, varying one foot on

sawed into inch and fve-eighis stuff,
amounted to thirteen thousand nine hundred

lars At presen, prices of lumber of that de-
scription.
Mr.. TurreI is of the opinion there is no,
another tree that can be found that will
turn out so great an amount Of valuable
sawed stuff as this while wood which he
estimates to have beep over 500 years Of
age.

Clerical Indoiencc.-It i stated that in a
petition presented by Mr.. Hume, among ma
ny other allegations against the clergy of the
establishment, ..Thatth petitioner has good
reason to believe that very few of them make
their own sermons, but buY them ready made
of their London agents. That your petit
toner could name lady. dissenter. who
employs all her leisure hours in composing
sermons for the clergy, for which she obtains
half guinea each, and gives the produce TO
the London Missionary Society"
They improve upon this plan in this coun-
try. We have heard sermons from the pull
PIT that were taken verbatim from books.
We have never thought it wise TO complain
of this course inasnuch as the selections
were TO our mind superior 10 the original.
