COPPER REMAINIsG ON THE LAKE.-Mining
Companies on Lake Superior have found this an
unfayorable season for getting their copper to
market. At the OntOnagOn, the Minnesota
Company have over two hundred tuns of cop
per at their landing and at the mouth of tho
river ready and awaiting for shipment. Tho
Ontonagon River has been several months too
low for running down full loads of copper, and it
is now so late that but small portion Of it
could be sent forward to this place, if it were
down at the Lake.
Other Companies have been unable to ship
their copper on the same account at that place
At Eagle River the Cliff or Boston and Pitts
burgh Company have several hundred tuns ON
hand ready for shipment, which will not be likely to
come down this fall There will be some copper lett,
ready for shipment at the other mines Of this place
and vicinity altogether reducing the whole amount OF
copper that has gone forward about the figure
was shipped last seasoD. But the proceeds Of the
mines there and will only be delayed, not lost
There has been fair increase this year the pre-
vious in the amount Of meal raised and the cop
per mining business has steadily increased under many
discouragements, the principal Of which the
pense and delay attendant the reshipment Of both
copper down and supplies up to the mineral country.
The great drawback the prosperity and progress Of
the country, in the want OF canal Is seen more than
this time. Thousands of barrels Of supplies

kinds Of mining machinery lodged here and win be

products Of copper and iron make so tle show. Cop

RICHEST FISH IN THE WoRLD.-We notice
