The Stockholder-(authority in
such matters) gives a statement of the
Lake Superior copper mining indus
try, from which it seems that during
1876. 23.593 tons, or 47,3s6 900
pounds of metal copper have been
marketed, worth in New York nine
million dollars. The Stakeholder
says that while copper mining in the
Lake Superior region was formerly
the subject of active speculation, it
has now mostly settled down into a
regular industry, sin which the fortu-
nate ones take the dividends from the
proceeds of the copper yield realized
aud the hopeful ones pay the assess
ments, in the expectation of reaching
such proceeds" There are some twen-
ty four regularly organized companies
operating for copper in the lake Su-
perior region, and two or three for
silver. The dividends and assessments
of sixteen of the copper concerns are
given in the Stakeholder. The divi-
dends of five of them in which the
aggregate sum paid in as common
stock is So 500 900, was in 1876 the
handsome sum of S2,160,o0o, or over
so per cent. per year on the invest
ment. On the other hand five of the
companies have levied assessments on
their share ranging in amount from S.
to so cents. The aggregate Of the
assessments during the year is $780,
600, or, as the Stakeholder remarks.
'fess than one-eighth the dividends
from the entire industry, so that the
investing public as whole, so far as
these sixteen mines are concerned.
has net balance ofincome of 81 ,900,-
600 for the year from the copper min
ing on Lake Superior Pioneer Press.

OHIO NOT DEMOCRATIC.

Notwithstanding the Boosting Of the
Democratic organs, Ohio does not seem
to be so intensely Democratic after all.
Many local causes INTERVIEWED to prevent
tho Republicans from electing their
candidate. notably the greenbaek ard

Of votes were cast in these interests,
which. in q national election, would be
given to the Republicans. But after all.
