HISTORT or LAKE, GITpLPI
MINING.

A Boston pamphlet-on the copper mines
of Lake Superior, prepared by Col. O, d.
Ashley, is condensed by the New York
Tribune in a recent article, in which the
following statements appear:
Mining commenced in 1915, on the south
shore Of the Lake. Geologsts secuted the
idea of finding mass copper. 1t had been
mainly obtained from sulphurets. But
masses of so to 200 tons were found in the
Minnesota and Cliff mines, and one of over
500 tons in the former mine, 90 per cent
ingot copper.
First mining success was the Cliff, yield
ing S2,S8O 900 for $4,000 assessment.
Minnesota followed with Sl,275, 900 for
S436, 900. This started wild specuiations,
resulting in an enormous waste Of money.
OF ll3 companies paying Si7,269,50o as
sessments, only 0 have paid dividends.
These realized 81, ,9lo,oo0 for an outlay of
S2,87l 900. The rest paid from $40, 900 to
500, 900 each, and realized for all, only
Sl4,425, 800
Owing to the great depth the two chief
mines had reached, the low price of copper
(l7c. per fb) ana the neglect Of proper
stamp work, copper mining dwindled down
to almost nothing few years ago.
At length the price Of copper rose, new
veins were discovered, and stamp work
made the chief reliance. The now famous
Calumet and Heckla by stamping rock
averaging not over per cent of copper to
the ton, found their mine the most produc-
tive on the globe, and revolutionized the
business and methods of copper mining.
The Calumet and Hecla produced 81 s
tons last year, and paid S2,800,0Oo divi-
dends. Other paying mines produced g.
547 tons in 1872, of which l2,l73 were
stamp copper The richest worked per
cent, the poorest Il per cent What with
steam drills, improved stamps, and various
economies, devices and facilities for min
ing, together with higher price and wider
demand for copper, the future of this inter-
est on Lake Superior is very bright

pete very strongly, with the great metropo
lis for large portion of the w estern trade.
Boston has better harbor than New
York; it is three hundred miles nearer to
Europe; it is the winter seaport of the Brit
ish American Dominons, and it is nearer
by rail to what we call the "New North
west," than New York is.
This New Northwest embraces all the
vast range of country north OF Indiana and
Northern Illinois, stretching back to the
Pacific coast The people of this region
are bound to be the ruling race of the con
tinent, and to transact the largest volume
of it's business And Boston with the Hoo
sac tunnel can compete for this business,
at least on equal terms with New York"
This fact, continues the Ne,cs, will bene-
fit the West by cheapening transportation,
as the lines of railways and steamers cen
terng at Boston, must necessarily be to
some extent, competing lines with those
centering at New York. Strong competi,
ton will be strong stimulus to business,
and keep up prices. Hence e" the West has
abundant reason for congratulation in the
prospective speedy completion of the Hoo
sac tunnel"
From a New York stand point there is
not so much congratulaton on the prospect
The n. Y Com Adyert;ser sounds the
trumpet of alarm, under the heading "Two
Ways Massachusetts and New York. :"
Amid other fOrcible sentences occur the
following: " Massachusetts means business,
and makes no idle menace" ''The Legis-
lature Of New York stands idly by" cal
ready three-fifths of all the through freight
of the Central Road goes into New Eng
land direct from Albany"
Boston, it appears, allows r. r. tracks
and elevators on her water front of piers
and wharves, while New York '' plants her
depots III the heart Of the city, and carts
the freight to the shipping" And :" if Bos
ton robs Us now, how much more when the
tunnel is done Erie canal is not the
only means of reaching the West. Eager
rivals may and do divert trade" New
York, concludes the AiUertiSer) must
cheapen raileeoy and canal transportation.

CORRESPONDENCE.

SHERIDAN, Oct 18, 1878.
ED. HERALD.-1n reading your item -four
teen shots and no blood" we of this part of
the county experience a lively sense of regret
1t is pity that any shreval or deputy shrieval's
shots sh ould go amiss, if aimed at certain per-
sons-we not belonging to the nationality which
has no w in its alphabet, and which lives ninety
years on fap-jacks and red peppers. There is a
number of unhanged villains who infest this
part Of the county in the season when cattle
are fat, and run them off into the mountains, to
be sold in the shambles to the unwilling citizens
of the mining towns. There is a regular thieves
trail along the foot of the mountains, which is
SO we'll defined that the ford Bear River is
popularity known as Thieves Crossing" The
next time worthy Sheriff, or any of his dep
utes, is abont to make that excellent kind of
action at law against these persons, wherein in
dictment and conviction came close together,
we say, let it be well whistled my sweet Car
milo
A number OF Sacramento capitalists, includ-
ing Messrs. Wilington Churchill, and others,
have erected q two stamp quartz MILL on Rock
Creek, in Yuba County, near the point where
Placer, Yuba, and Nevada Counties intersect.
They will assay specimens from all the vicinal
lodges, and if gold is four in any of them, in
paying quantities, they will construct a perma-
nent mill on Bear River hard by. They will
soon commence taking out and hauling quartz,
and will begin to reduce it as soon as there comes
enough water.
Until recently, the Marysville Land Office has
permitted parties to secure agricultural patents
to lands situated within the district withheld by
Commissioner Drummond, from agricultural
entry for proof of its non-mineral character,
quite easily Since the recent revival of interest

interested in lodges, have written to Washington
representing that good copper land was being
patented for agricultural uses, without due
proof required and had OF its mineral

Natural Protect the System.

The humane body is machine and thtre-
fore can not endure forever; but, like watch or
sewing machine, it will last much longer il
properly regulated and duly repaired than if no
pains were taken to keep it in order. The great
object of every one who desires a long and
healthy life should be to put his body in con-
dition to resist the life threatening influences by
which we are all more or less surrounded; and
no invigorant and corrective at present known
so effectively answers this purpose as the vital
izing elixir which, under the unpretending name
of Hostetter's Stomach Btters, has been for
more than twenty years the standard tonic of
America. In crowded cities where the atmos-
phere is contaminated with the efiluvia insepa-
rable from large populations; in marshy re-
gions where the soggy soil reeks with miasna;
on the prairies and in the forests where every
fall the air is tainted with exhalations from rot
ting weeds and grasses, or decomposng leaves
in short in every locality where malaria exists,
this powerful Vegetable antidote is urgently need
ed. Fever and ague, bilious fevers, dysentery.
congestion of the liver, jaundice, rheumatism,
and all diseases which are generated by infected
air, impure water, or sudden changes Of tenn
perature, may be averted by Strengthening and
regulating the system in advance with Hostetter s
Btters. Autumn is always season of peril,
especially to weak, susceptible organizations
Even the more vigorous apt to be i'll some
measure depressed by the humid atmosphere,
loaded with deleterious gases produced by veg
getable decay. The fall is period OF the year
when the renovation and regulation of the liv-
ing machine is peculiarly important, and the
Blfters should therefore be taken daily at this
critical season.

FEMALE SuFFRAGE.-The question Of Female
Sahrage has for some years greatly agi:ated the
minds of masculine femnines, and feminine
masculines in America, but thus far wi very
little practical result, the efforts of Susan b.
Anthony, Victoria Woodruff and others TO the
contrary notwithstanding Though much exer-
ton has been made to place the right of fran
chise in the hands of females, and allow our
mothers sisters. aunts, daughters etc., each to
have vote in deciding the grave and import
ant questions, which from time to time are sub
m'tted to the American people, it was practically
demonstrated last year, in New York, by few
who tried it, to be- under existing laws very
improbable business. 1t has been decided
that women are not legal voters, but to those
who take a deep deep interest in their welfare,
in this direction, it may be encouraging to learn
that though they may not vote themselves, they
can be voted for as was clearly demonstrated in
one of the precincts i'll this county, not more
than 49s4 miles from here, at the judicial
election, where two ladies received respectively
] and II votes for the office of Justice of the
Peace. One of the Justices elect, received only
81 votes, and it is thought by some that the
lady could have been elected had she canvassed
as thoroughly as her opponent. We were moi
aware that Placer County took such deep in
terest on the question of 'womans rights II
can only be accounted for in this way Since
the great Independent party has become Sc
strong in the county, and reform SO popular
through the efforts of the HERALD, some dis
gusted Republicans, sooner than join it, de-
termined to get up a little reform party of theii
own and this is the fruits of it. This would be
a fitting party for the Argus to adopt, if they
will have it,

ASTRONOMICAL OBsERvAToRY.-A dispatch
from San Francisco to the Sacramento Union,
says:
"James Lick has proposed to the Academy of
Sciences of this city to endow an observatory to
be located at some point in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains 10000 feet above sea level for astro-
ncmical purposes, and to be supplied with every
appliance necessary to make it the most com
pete of anything of the kind in the rid
The plan has taken practical and tangible
shape already aud will doubtless be carried
out.
Such an institution should be on the line OF
the railroad as near as practicable. that access
may be convenient. Ii so this adjunct to astro-
nomlcnl science must be located within the limits
of Placer County. We have no objection. To the
contrary; we can safely say that the citizens Of
Placer would welcome the erection of an ob-
servatory in their territory with liberal dona-
tions, If necessary.

LUCKY, RUT UNroRTUNATE.-Las Tuesday
morning Gen. Mullen and Maj. Watkins started
out with Bulloch's horse and buggy in the way
of an outfit for jaunty ride to Vrginiatown.
Nothing occurred on the way there or back so
far as we know to mar the supreme pleasure of
the happy gentlemen, until just as they tered
town on their return, from some mishap or 9TH
er it was found their vehicle was in very bad
condition for further progress. The last we
saw of the buggy it was standing at the black
smith shop, waiting for repairs Though un-
fortunate in breaking down, it lucky for
them that it did not break when they were six
or eli ght miles from home.

Gus dwellings taking the place of the storm
beaten, sun-browned remnants of primitive

some weeks past had men at work tearing away
the rotten remains of these old shanties and
