The MICHIGAN COPPER MINEs.-It is stated
in one Of the Boston papers that within the
last ten years the number Of companies formed
for working copper mines n Michigan has
been about one hundred. The amount Of mon
~ invested, calculating the shares at the low
average Of five. dollars each, has been about ten
millions Of dollars. This sum has been obtain
ed principally from NewEngland, NewYork
and Pennsylvania. Not one-third of the COM
panies have dividends. Ablat one-half the
number have collapsed, having started upon an
insufficient basis, Or requiring too much capital
for preliminary operations. There are I'M

igan. but copper stock. both in that State and
elsewhere, has been prorerbially an uncertain
