QUEBEC AND LAKE SUPERIOR MINING Com
PANY.-This company, which possesses copper
mines Of great value at Mamainse, on Lake Supe-
rior, has recently made most valuable discovery
on one of their locations on Michipicoten Island.
We have seen a letter from one of their exploring
officers. dated Mica Bay, June 17th addressed to
gentleman in this city, in which the writer states
his conviction that the newly discovered mine sur
passes all others on both shores in richness and ex-
tent. The company has number Of the best
practical miners that could be obtained from the
English mines at work at their mines at the first
mentioned place, and it is expected that a large
amount Of ore will be sent by them to market in
the course Of the present year We rejoice at the
success Of this company and trust that other COM
paies engaged in developing the mineral resources
Of the upper lakes will be stimulated to perseyere
in an enterprise which, we have no doubt, will be
as profitable 10 themselves as it viii be advanta-
geous to the province. Hamilton (Cdnada) Spec

a few days ago two Englishmen, who went to
Paris to pick up bargains entered one Of the largest
