life remained in the carriage and escaped unhurt.

LAKE SUPERIOR COPPER MINES.

Mr. Greeley, OF the New York Tribune, has
recently returned from a tour to the mining re-
gion of Lake Superior and gives some interes-
ting facts in relation to the working of the Cop
per Mines the present season. He says little
progress has been made in mining within the last
year-for want, not of encouragement but of
funds. Several locations have been entirely
abandoned on this account. The famous tCliff
Nine of the Pittsburg and Boston Company, he
saysls brilliant exception to the general course
of things in that quarter This mine has been in
the hands OF business men, with capital and sci
ence at their command. Seven hundred and for
ty-six tons OF native copper have been already
shipped from this mine the present season and
Mr.. Greeley thinks the total amount of the sea-
son will reach one thousand TONS This will give
an aggregate income oil 1926, 900. and net pro-
fit of not less than $l25,00O on the years bust
ness-equal to the entire investment or OUTLAY
Mr.. G. thinks this may be repeated and even in
creased, through the next ten, twenty, or even
fifty years. The vein OF this mine is nearly YER
teal, and is at places fully three feet wide, but
will average but about two feet. 1t is in part
composed OF those immense masses of pure native
Copper which peculiar to that region: the
residue Is the same metal diffused through the
VEIN stone Quartz in the proportion Of three to
twenty. five per cent The deepest shaft is 1870
feet.
Mr. Greeley estimates the average cost of
opening mine in that region, to be not less than
$4,000 the Cliff expended over 800. 600.
The machinery used in the Cliff alone cost
$4,000.
The main working points this season, are near
Eagle River, Eagle Harbor, Lac la Belle, on Isle
Royal, and at the Ontonagan.
