From f. l. LASER, Agent OF Ioliec Company, Feb q,
1884, have lately made some important discoveries OF
copper In the slopes west of No shat we took out
weighing 4>Oo 6s and another Of 10 lbs beside
considerable barrel copper and stamp work. Thare is
be some taken down in these slopes and in
Slopes east Of No shaft in ten days, which promises
equal to that which has been taken down We have
nearh eight tuns of copper ready for shipment II we
had stamps ready might make good shipments. Oar
vein two feet thick carrying principally eeEy rich stamp
work.
AT tie Algomah we have vein over five feet thick,
carrying very rich stamp work with considerable barrel
copper The shaft is 50 feet deep. Merchants is looking

The Evergreen never looked better.
At the Hazard they have good surface show the vein

healthy vein stone. The shaft is only l. feet deep

The mines of Portage Lake have made most decidedly
favorable mpre sions visitors. The Portage Nine
is also looking remarkably well in both veins plriiculary
in the ID lift, which is of the best signs that can be
