COPPER MINES OF MINERAL
POINT.

About twenty-five years ago, con-
siderable excitement was raised over
the striking of copper in the vicin-
ity Of Mineral Point. Different
ranges were discovered, and shafts
were sunk in many places to the
depth Of thirty and forty feet. A
smelling furnace was erected,
old and experienced smelters were
brought to the place, and the vicin-
ity promised to be as rich in copper,
as it had already proved itself to be
in galena. The mines continued to
yield quantities of copper, that
probably gave fair remittance to
the miners for their labor. For a
time they followed this prospect,
always hoping for something better;
but after continuing this for some
time, and failing to realize their fond
hopes they became discouraged, and
began to quit in despair Geolo-
glsts were invited to the place, but
none gave encouraging reports.
About this time the excitement
arose in California, and most Of the
miners fleeing for that part, the
mines in this vicinity became aban-
doned.
There had been ranges struck on
the north, west, and east sides of
Mineral Point; those north and
west, superintended by Mr.. Kendall,
promised to be the richest, while
that on the east, superintended by
MIR. Beech, received little attention.
In fact the geologists who surveyed
this portion of the state, gave an
extended report of the two former,
while the latter was entirely un-
noticed, and finally all the ranges
falling into neglect, passed away
almost from the memory of the
people.
A few months ago, as several of
our honest working men were out
OF employment, Mr.. James Spensley
and James Toay, without hoping to
derive personal benefit, determined
to prospect further in these mines,
and if possible arouse the spirit
that used to characterize the old
miners of Mineral Point. In this
they hoped to gain enough to re-
numerate themselves for the money
paid to laborers, and their asrira-
tons went little further.
They leased the land, situated
about two and q half miles east Of
this city, and sank shafts on the
range which had formerly been
opened by Mr.. Beech. The copper
which had once been taken out had
lain from thirty to forty feet deep,
but Mr.. Toay, thinking a larger
body might lie still deeper, sank to
the depth of fifty feet. In this he
was not mistaken for between the
depth of forty and fifty feet he came
upon a vein of copper mingled with
loose sandstone. The size Of the
vein will average about yard and
half in width by two yards in
height.
In this vein the density Of the
copper varies greatly, in some por-
tions it being rarely seen, while in
a very few places the whole body OF
earth will yield as high as 30 per
cent. of copper. This vein has a
serpentine course that winds around
between great columns of solid rock,
and the richness OF it cannot be said
to either increase or diminish in
either direction, so that there Is no
direct prospect Of anything better
than they have already found, al
though large body of copper may
possibly lie at the crossing where
the ranges meet. This, however, is
only miners hope.
How nearly the copper now found

difficult travelling, the lecture that
was announced to be delivered in
the City Hall by Mrs. Parry on last
evening, was dispensed with, and a
lecture will be delivered this even
ing, on the "Social, Religious and
Political Outlook of the country
Mrs. Parry has been lecturing in
the East, in Philadell hia, Baltimore
and other prominent cities, and has
every where received the most en-
couraging comments. A short time
since, she lectured in Madison, and
comes to us well recommended by
the most prominent and reliable
men of that city. Says La Fayette
Smith, q man of acknowledged
judgment, II have listened in my
lifetime to many female lecturers
of ability, but have never before
perceived such talent, as that dis
played by Mrs. Parry. in her lectures
delivered in this city,
Lyman c. Draper, Of the Histori-
cal Library, also speaks of her as
a lady of rare culture, fine attain
ments, and of unimreachable char
acter.
Mrs. ?. is no spiritualist, that
holds any principle beyond the
power Of reason. Her discourse
will therefore, contain nothing that
will be unattractive to the most
fastidious. The subject is q good
one, and is worthy of the careful
attention Of every citizen of Mineral
Point and vicinity.
WE took occasion last week to
visit the city schools, and though
dropping in unexpectedly upon Mr..
Vanwormer, we found everything
in perfect order, and Mr.. V. doing
all in his power, and all that any
teacher could do to give instruction
to his pupils. On being conducted
through the building, we found all
the rooms characterized by the same
good order, as well as by the same
earnestness on the part of the in
structors, and if the pupils are not
as far advanced as might be expect
ed in q town of this size, it is no
fault of the present corps of teachers.
However, the labor of the teachers
might be greatly lightened, by some
expense on the interior Of the
building, in the shape of new desks,
better seats and whitewashed walls.
An improvement of this kind would
give general pleasantness to the
room, that would keep the scholars
cheerful, and render it easier for
teachers to prevent that restlesness.
which always has, and always will
make teaching labolious. Doubtless
this has been thought of many times
by the proper authority, but it
cannot be remedied too soon.
A RATHER sad death occurred in
Mineral Point on Friday last. A
young man, named Andrew Grange,
whose parents reside on Rock Branch
about Two and a half miles from
this city, had been working in the
Linden mir and some time last
week, started home. Feeling unwell
when he came this lar, he stopped
at the house Of dear friend, whom
| he had been accustomed to visit,
thinking to wait there till he re-
covered Bnt that VISIT was his last;
fer although be at fret showed signs
of~recoyery, he finally fell into
relapse, that prevented him from
going home till death relieved him.
The funeral took place on Sunday
! last.

Mr. Mari took the stand and informed the
Committee that after General Sheridan's dis
patch, wherein it is related that thirty-fv We
hundred murders had been committed in the
State, he, as Chairman Of the Central Com

for list of said murders, but has as yet re-
ceived no reply. Mr.. MARI then explained

the Parish Committee to those negroes who
had voted the Conservative ticket.

the total foreign trade by water during the
ten months ended October 81, 1874, over
seventy-three per cent. was carried in foreign
