THE CoppER REGIONS. During the pres
ent season many important discoveries Of
copper have been made near the head of
Lake Superior, in this State and miners are
Aocking thither, in large numbers, from the
other mining districts on the Lake. We
have couversed with several gentlemen Who
have spent years in exploring the copper
regions of the North, and they all agree that
the new discoveries present stronger indi-
cations of abundance Of that mineral than
any vet made. Our Land Office is doing a
brisk business in the way of fling pie.emp-

yet been offered at public sale and can on
