One Of the mineral wonders of the Lake
Superior region is the immense deposit Of
pure copper disclosed by the cliff mine. A
late account of its operation SAYS
The mammoth cliff mine continues to
outsirip all others IA the country and so
far as native copper Is concerned, all others
in the world. Under The able superinten-
dence OF Capt Jennings, the rich lode con
Times to yield up ITS wealth at the rate of
ninety IONS a month of pure copper Every
foot that is sunk and every lalhum that IS
driven brings to light new evidences Of It's
uuiaimg richness Mass after mass of the
pure metal, from one to fifty tons weight, IS
taken from the VEN, and every step through
lis long l"yels brngs one to other masses,
still standing and unmo,ed, Of unknown
size and value"
As II was a new thing IN the history Of
mining for a native copper lode to produce
thus largely ia MASSES and copper dissent
mated in what is called barrel aud stamp
work, the progress of ths mine has been
watched IA this country aud elsewhere with
no litiIe interest. Those used only to the
ores OF copper have witnessed with wonder
and admiration the immense masses fpure
metal coming from the prolific VEN, aud
those who were IN doubt at first as to It's
performance have seen too many convincing
proofs, for two years past, 10 be longer Ia
credulous on this point. 1t has now been
tested TO the depth Of four hundred feet, and
many hundred feet in length, and IT still
suslains the same rich character. 1t is every
where as regular and well defined as any lode
in Cornwall, and there is just as good pros
pect of MS continuance and Of iIs improve
meni as ever"

sanction OF both houses, and the signature of the
Governor, and Is the law Of the State. taking cf

Compliment from CGaddiUR.-Ihe ~
tcl,iacut gentlemen who visited Boston on
the occasion of the Railroad jubilee, did not
conGne their sight seeing TO Boston. The
editor of the Montreal Witness records his
Impressions of Robbins & LaWrences rifle
factory at Windsor in the following terms !:
4 Rife Factory Whilst 10 Windsor,
Vermont, we visited the celebrated armory
Of Messrs. Robbins and Lawrence, where
one hundred men are employed IN manulac-
turing firearms, chiefly rifles, for the Uni
ted States Government. The various ma
chimes for turning, planning, drilling, and
rillnr the barrels, aud constructing the
stocks and LOCKS, we're exceedingly lngen-
ious and worked admirably; but the clean,
gentemanly deportement Of the workmcn,
most Of whom were young, was even more
pleasing TO contemplate. They wero dres-
sed with much proprety as II they had been
clerks IN dry goods store, and all that dis
tinguished hem as mechanics was the blouse
or apron which they wore while at work. -
One could not help ,ecognlzlng at glance
that they respected themselves and were re-
specled by others in a very different man
ner from the same class ia Britain or Cana
da, and that there was not man among
them but might aspire to the highest honors
of his State. We received from visit to
this factory a strong Impression of the dig
nifty Of labor ia New England, aud every
thing we afterwards saw served to deepen
that impression.
