FROM LAKE SUPERIOR.
Copper Discovered in an Iron Mines.
Silver Lead.

SUPERIOR CRY, Lake Superior. JAM II.
TO the Editor Of the Pioneer:
A recent account from Marquette, Lake
Superior, states that vein of rich copper
ore was discovered at the Lake Superior
Mine, which bids fair to add largely to tho
profits OF mining. The vein is enclosed in
walls of iron ore. 1t is thought to contain
from tive 70 fifty per cent. of copper. The
vein has been traced four hundred feet on
the surface. This vein matter has hereto
fore been taken out with the iron ore with
which it is enclosed, and shipped as iron
ore. Not long since a furnace proprietor
in Buffalo informed the agent of the Lake
Superior Mine that, on removing his fur
mace, in which he had been smelling ore
from that mine, he discovered mass Of
pure copper Of over a tom in freight, achich
had found its acay through tie crevices IN
the hearth. The agent shortly after went
to the mine, and after considerable search
he discovered the vein. So long as it is
found in iron ore, it can be mined without
extra expense. In quarrying out the iron
ore, all they have to do is to gather up the
copper ore by itself, and realize an average
of $75 to 500 per ton as such, instead Of
the price of iron ore.
The excitement over the silver lead dis
coveries has by no means abated About
ten thousand acres of land were entered by
parties during the week ending December
10, 1868. Most of these entries were made
in Town 30, Range 80. Mr. Northrup
made an analysis to ascertain whether
silver lead found on a railroad section
would prove as rich as that found on an
even numbered one, viz. Pure lead, so
per cent. pure silver, 1.O4; waste and
rock, 1896; total, 100. The result of
this analysis gives 1910 lbs. of silver to
the ton of lead.
The official returns from the port of Ea-
gle Harbor for 1868, were ia tons and
514 lbs.-an increase of eighty tons over
1862. Ingot copper quoted at forty cents
cash. S.

A NIOnstrOus Proposition.

Under this heading the Raleigh IN. o.
Progress, rebel paper, denounces in
language as hard as cannon balls the pro-
position to create Dictator for the Con-
federacy. 1t shows that the eleme nts of
trouble among the rebels are widespread
and lie deep, but are coming to the sur
face gradually. 1t says:
The beauties of secession, but dimly
seen at first, are becoming more and more
vivid as the revolution advances, and,
from present indications, it will not be
long before he who runs may read. The
communication Of officers Of the Army of
the Tennessee, read in the House of Rep
resentatives on Tuesday, shows that there
is an alarming state of decentralization and
dissatisfaction in that quarter. If there
is to be dictator, Mr.. Foote wants
Gen. Lee. We have as much confidence
in, and respect for Gen. Lee as any man
living, but we tell Mr. Foote that the peo-
pie North Carolina, who set out to fight
for freedom and liberty, will not submit
to dictator in the person of any living
man while the power is left to resent.
The Raleigh On O. Standard says that
the people in the extreme western coun-
ties of North Carolina have been deprived
of all mail facilities, on the ground of dis
loyalty to the Confederate government
