ore is Of a very fair quality and appearance; and
the recent discoveries of it in New Mexico.

expectations that very large quantity Of il

seemingly Of little value when compared
with the more precious metals, IS believed to
exist in large quantities; and. from its general
utility, it IS thought will add greatly to the

The project Of connecting Lake Superior and
Lake Huron by a canal around the falls, of suffi-
cicnt capacity TO receive the largest craft that
floats upon the lower lakes. is one of vast i'm
portance TO the development of that extensive
region bordering upon Lake Superior, and to
the commerce of the whole of that section of
country. Energetic means are being taken by
the cities on the northwestern lakes to have
the present Congress take the matter in hand,
aud construct the canal itself, or by approprla-
tons of public lands to certain citizens who
propose to undertake the work. The follow
ing estimates, we learn. are in the hands OF the
appropriate committees in Congress, and we
have no doubt they will receive that consider
