The Onf0n0g0n Miner oil August says:
The largest chip yet cut from the Minnesota mass
was taken off few days since. 1t measured thirty
one inches in length.
1t was fairly taken from regular cut in the great
mass 1t is the largest yet made in this district and
as far as we know in any other. The copper beats up
about onehld of its length in cuttiDg-that is, the
place from which the chip is taken is about half as
large again The chip; so that the copper in the mass
must have occupied length of 461 inches.
There are numerous cuts in the mass Of much
