INDIAN TRADITION.
From Henry's Travels in the Lake Superior Re-
glon, in the year 1867.

From Henry's Travels in the Lake Superior Re-
glon, in the year 1867.
From Manance to Nanibojou is fifteen
leagues. Nanibojou is ON the eastern side
of the Bay of Michipico,en. AT the OPP
posite point or cape are several small Is
lands, under one of which, according to
Indian tradition, is buried Nanibojou,
person of the most sacred memory Nan.
iboiou is otherwise called by the names of
Minabojou, MIchabou, Messou, Shaciac,
and variety Of others, but all of which
the Interpretation appears to be, The Great
Hare. The traditions related of the
Great Hare, are as varied as his name -
He was represented TO me as the founder
and indeed creator, of the Indian nations
of North America. He lived originally
toward the going down Of the sun, where
being warned, in dream, that the inhab>
itants would be drowned by general
food, produced by heavy rains, he built
raft, on which he afterwards preserved
his own family, and all the animal world
without exec ption. According 10 his
dream, the rain fell, and food ensued.
His raft drfled for many moons, during
which no land was discovered, His fam
lily began TO despair of termination 10
the calamity; and the animals, who had
then the use OF speech, murmured loudly
against him. In the end he produced
new earth, placed the animals upon it.,
and created man.
A, a subsequent period, he took from
The animals The use of speech. This act
of severity was performed in consequence
of conspiracy, into which they had en-
tered against the human race. At the
head of The conspiracy was the bear; and
the greaI increase, which had taken place
among the animals, rendered their mum
bers formidable have heard many 9TH

and this at least is certain, that sacrifices

his grave or tumuus, by all who pass it.
landed there, and found on the project,
ing rocks a quantity of tobacco, roting in
the rain; together with kettles, broken
guns and a variety of other articles. His
spirit is supposed 10 make this its Constant
residence and here TO preside over the
Lake, and over the Indians, in their nav-
igaion and fishing.

THE LAKE SUPERIOR COPPER
MINES.

PoNr1Ac, Jan. %, 1916.
To the Editor Of The Tribune:
DEAR SIR: In a communication pub
hshed not long since in the Boston Post
and copied in the Tribune upon the sub.
iect of The Copper Mines in the region OF
Lake Superior, we are informed by the
writer that he has "had access to some
authentic sources ofinformation" upon the
subject. And as "there is disposition
among the knowing ones 10 monopolIze,"
he thinks "it important that whatever can
be known 10 relation 10 it should be made
public" There being Gin the COMMUNE
cations thus far made to the public an
unacccunable scarcity OF facts and res
uts."
Without reference to the profits Of
mines worked in other. countries where
the pitiful compensation given to the la
borer bears. no comparison 10 the value OF
labor ia this country, the frs! and most
natural inquiry slo ascertain the probable
amount OF expenditures that will be re-
ouired to work the mines-or TO make
suitable preparations for. working them,
and the value of The vein rock" per ton
so as 10 determine whether it be an object
10 engage in the business or not. 10 In
yite people 10 consider Of the subject IA
vorabIy seems TO be the deIusive object oil
the writer.
The reader after perusing this introduce
torv flourish which we have cited above
if he has not like this writer Chad access
to some authentic sources of information
would conclude he was about 10 have d
full, definite and accurate exposition of the
subject so as to correct any errors he may
have entertained in consequence of partial
and imperfect statements previous publish
ed in the papers, when in fact there is n(
information OF the kind given. On the
other hand, if he has been so fortunate a:
to have "had access 10 some of these au
lhenlc sources OF information" he would
at once conclude that the writer knew blu
little of the subect-or that his pockets arr
full Of Cooper Stock" in many of th'
/ companies named by him-and which n
is anxious to sell at the prices he stated t
be their rated value. He says, "the cos
of getting ore 10 the surface is about lou
: dollars per ton. The cost Of smelling o
9 working so far is about half that price
say altogether some six dollars per ton
If the ore yield twenty-five per cent O
metal it is worth, at sixteen cents pc
# pound, eighty dollars, thus leaving
large profit after the expenses of workin
the mines are paid" This is all he say
> upon the subject Of expenses except par
> agrOph which we will presently notice
He evidently desires it 10 be inferred tha
O six dollars per ton of rock will pay the e'
penses Of working TO fit the ore Tor mark'
for which expenditure the value ofeigt
s. " dollars worth of mineral will be obtar

AWFUL CALAMITY. The Racine Ad.

ticuIars of a terrible calamity which ocN
CURED in that village on the morning Of
that day. The dwelling of the Hon.
Marshall M. Strong, absenl at Madison, as
one of the councillors in the legislature
iIom that county, was consumed by fire,
and Mrs. Strong with her son and daugh-
ter persisted ia the flames The fire &C.
Cured before dawn, and Mrs. Strong was
awakened by the flames, and with the
servant girl had rushed out of doors in her
night clothes, not yet conscious, however,
OF the extent of the danger. Mrs Strong,
says the account, at the instant she turned
and was made sensible of the danger
around her, urged by a mothers aIl.per-
vading affection for her offspring, and fol-
lowing the holy impulses Of woman's ma
,ure, herojcalIy rushed in the midst OF
smoke and flames, with the frantic hope
of saving her children Ladders were
procured by those who gathered to the
scene, the windows burst in, and every ef'
fort made TO penetrate the mass OF fire and
smoke, and rescue the mother and chill
dren, but unavaiingly; and few hours
later, the half consumed bodies of The IN
fortunate victims were dug from the ru
