important facts relating to copper mining in

or $500 tons Of ingot copper have been pro-
duccd this season. The entire product of the
world is set down at 10000 tons, one.seven.
ieenth of winch is furnished by Lake Superior
mines, And should the total product Of the
Lake Superior mines increase MS it has durinr
the past twelve months, in very few years
they will produce more copper than the Eng
Iish mines. The product of the ensuing year,
it is thought, will be much greater than that
OF the present The value of this years yield

TIE RATES AT WHICH WAVES TRAvEL.-
paper was read by Prof Bachc before the
American Scientific Association. stating that.
at nine. o'clock on the morning of the 23l of
December, 1851, an earthquake occurred at
Simoda, on the island of Niphon, .Iapan. and
orcasIon"d the wreck of the Russian friratr
Diana, which was then in port The harhor
was iirst cmpticd of water, and then came in
IN enormous wave which again rcceded and
lclt the llarhor dry. This occurred several
times. Th" United Statcs has selfaciiny id. ~.

four thousand eight hundred miles from the
scene o! the earthquake, the first wave arrv
ed twelve hours and sixteen minutes after it
had recedcd from the harbOr Of Simoda. II
had Travelled across the broad bosom Of tL.
Pacllic ocean at the rate Of six and half
miles minute, and arrived safely ON the
shores of California to astOnish the scientific
observers of the coast surveying expedition.
The first wave or rising of the waters at San
Francisco WAS seven tcnths ola foot in height.
and lasted for about half IN hour. 1t was
followed by Il series of seven other waves of
less magnitude ut intervals OF an hour each.
At San Diego similar phenomena were OBJ
served, although on account of u greater dis
tanrc from SimOda, (four hundred miles
greater than to San Francsco,) the waves did
not arrive so soon and were not quite as
high.
