Hon. NEIL DIAMOND. of Buffalo, has
left at our office a specimen of copper
found on his farm, which surpasses any
thing of the kind we have ever heard of
being found in this section of the coun-

and is almost pure copper. 1t bears the
of having been thrown up
by some volcanic eruption of the past.
Mr.. Diamond Is of the opinion that the
specimen is a float, in which we agree
with him, and that it will not pay to
prospect for a lode, although numerous
smaller specimens have been found
upon his farm at other times. -HOntetlO
