EFFEcT or WRITERs SIGsso THEIR NAMES TO
ARTICLES FOE NEwsPAPERs.-The correspondent
At Paris of the New York Commercial advertiser
makes the following remarks in letter descrip-
tive Of French newspaper literature:
"The effect of the law requiring each newspaper
writer TO sign his articles has not been what was
predicted by the press. No bad consequence has
followed. Greater deccncy Of tone has been intro
duced, and the political articles prepared with
still greater care. The necessity each Journal 10
now under TO publish the names Of men OF charac-
ter and ability among its editors, and the unwil-
lingness Of such men TO expose themselves 70 dan
ger by imprudent artcles, 10 discredit
by false ones, have certainly contributed to
the elevation of the pres5. Several men Of
talent, heretofore hid in the obscurity Of the CO.
lumns OF large journal, have established their
regulations on solid bases There is also more lib
erty of initiation allowed to individuals (; being
personally responsible for their articles they enjoy
the liberty of saying what they think in their own
way, without regard to the political direction the
proprietors wish to give to the journal.
Each Of the principal papers has from twelve to
fifteen editors, among whom the different depart
ments of labor are distributed. La Prssse employs
as regular editors fifteen of the ablest writer's of
the capital. These meet at certain hour OF the
day, in order TO hear such articles consider
ed important, and discuss the line OF policy to be
pursued in regard 10 subjects of interest"

LAKE SUPERIOR CoPrEn MINEs.-Thc shores of
Lake Superior destined to prove a prolific
Of wealth to this country, il we may believe
the very favorable accounts of the new mining ope
rations going on in the copper region. The hret
discoveries and experiments were attended by 80
much deception and humbug, on the part OF knav-
ish SPECTATORS, that people became thoroughly
Disguised, and for long time after the explosion,
which followed period period OF headlong spec-
ulation, copper mining suffered a severe check
few, however, found courageous enough to
persevere against the strong tide of popular opin-
ion, and were amply rewarded by the brilliant sue
cess which has attended the development of the
Cliff, Minnesota, and other mines. Emboldcned
by these fortunate results enterprising men have
again turned their attention TO the businoss-new
companies have been formed, locations selected,
and nining operations commenced in good earnest.
Several of these new companies have been quite
successful thus far and every step of progress in
their operations indicates that further prosecution OF
the various works will furnish ample remuneration
for tho capital invested One Of these new mines
lie the Mcdora," in which many OF our citizens are
interested.
A description of this mine, which has been hand
ed to US, may not be unineresting to our readers.
II emauatcs from gentleman now acting the
agent of one of the most prosperous Of the older
mines, whose practical know ledge and general in
telligence the subject qualify him to form cor
rect opinion After stating the of the veins,
&C., he says: at is always thought in this country
that the Amygdaloid trap is the most productive.
This kind of rock ia found In abundance at the Me-
dora Copper Mine. The No. shaft is sunk to the
depth of eighty six feet-is Of good sise, and well
located for working. There is drift south from
this shaft OF fifty four feet and three inches and all
through good rock, in fair looking vein, from six
to twelve inches thick, well charged with copper,
and good wall work by the side of it. Shaft No.
2, now sinking, il nineteen feet six inches Deep on
vein about six inches thick as we'll charged with
the ore MS any vein have seen. Mr.. Hening-
ton showed me specimens of copper from the mine,
and may venture to say that not many mines now
working San show better specimens. II such n
prospect as the Medora has 10 not worked and
proved out, we may stop two thirds of the mines
now working Lake Superior, and say there are
no moro good mines to be found; and will venture
to say that any company who will prove the Me-
dora mine will never regret it."-Bosfon Journal.
