nB- A Clay Association has been formed in New
Orleans for the purpose Of raising the necessary
funds for the erection of full size bronze statue
in one Of the public squares Of that city, to the
memory of that illustrious "commoner" The
Sage of Ashland" is well worthy of SO distin-
shed mark Of public esteem, on the part of
Orleanians. The enterprise has our warmest
wishes for its success.

CorToN SEED O1L.-The proprietors of one Of
our linseed oil mills have commenced the manu-
facture of oil from cotton seed, and about four
hundred bags of the seed arrived here this week
from Memphis, to be used for this purpose. The
oil is used for burning. How far the parties
will succeed in their enterprise, remains to be
demonstrated. We believe the manufacture Of
oil from cotton seed has been carried on in the
South to greater les extent for several years,
at Natchez, we believe, one of these mills has
been in operation for some ten years; but, SO
far, the oil has not come into general use. Tho
difficulty seems to be in clarifying it, as it will
not burn in crude state. The seed is abundant
and cheap, and can be purchased at the leading
points in the cotton States at 20 2Oc per BUSH
Ell. Should our enterprizing citizens succeed in
preparing the oil for use, it will prove most
important article Of commerce.

VOLCANIC EXPLOSION IN ARKANsAs.-The
Little Rock, Arkansas, Gazette of January 9th,
contains an account of singular noise heard
in the vicinity of Clarkville, Arkansas, on the
Sd December. 1t is variously described as like
blast in well, the explosion Of a meteor, or
single distant clap of heavy thunder, in some
places attended with rumbling noise and sen.
sibe vibration of the earth. The noise was
heard within an area of some two hundred
miles in diameter. Its cause had not been GER
tainly ascertained. Some had attributed it to
a volcanic eruption on a mountain in Scott
county; others, to an eruption in johnson
county, near Pittsburg, where it has been dis
covered that On eruption has recently taken
place, the earth being burst open and huge
masses of earth and rocks, &C., being thrown
out. Such euruptions have occurred repeatedly
before in that region. About ten years ago one
took place in that county, in which large bould-
ers weighing several tons were thrown up. So
too, some fifteen years ago, tremendous explo-
sion was heard, in Yell and johnson counties,
the cause remaining unknown until short time
thereafter, when hunter crossing the Magazine

AMERICAN CopPER.-Although the copper
mining intesest III this country is as yet, in its
infancy, it has already produced results that
give promise of its soon standing among the
foremost of our industrial pursuits and Of ad-
ding another to the already greatly diversified
resources of wealth and power of our people.
Previous to 1910 we were, in common with the
rest of the world, entirely dependent upon En-
gland for our supply of this useful metal We
are this year producing about five thousand
tons of it, equal to one seventeenth of the whole
amount required to meet the demand of the
world. The copper mines of Cornwall, En-
gland, has been worked for centuries, while
those Of our Lake Superior region have only
been opened few years, and not successfully
and Systematically worked till within the last
five years. The opening Of the Sault St. Marie
Canal, by connecting the navigation of Lake su-
perior with that of the chain of lower lakes has
given an impetus to the business that will soon
make it the great source of supply of copper to
our own and foreign countries, on account Of
its great purity and the in1haustible beds Of its
ore. Eighteen new stamping mills have been
erected the past year, and at least fifty more
will be put in operation this year. The valueof
the copper produced and sent to market last
year, is estimated at So, 900, 900, and is expee-
ted to foot up at least So, ,OOO, 900, the coming
