in Polk county, Tennessee. We are informed that

streets present lively appearance from the influx d
wagons loaded with copper ore on it, way to New
York. This ore, We understand, comes from thA
Hiwassee mines, located in Polk county, Tennessee,
about five miles from tho State lines Of North Caro-
lima and Georgia. This region of country IL . pri-
native formation, and abounds in minerals. Tha
vein runs loDgitudinally, in series Of hills, In
northeast and southwest direction, they being .
spur Of the Allegheny range Of mountain The
ore 10 principally black oxide Of copper, Yielding
We understand from ten to seventy per cent Of pure
metal The black oxide is found at distance Of
about forty feet from the surface, the vein here
being fifteen wide, on m average. Below the stra-
tum Of black OXIDE the vein gradually more ases b
