| a coal mine to gold mine, and now
| we think that the record of the
Calumet Mine would cause him to
drop the coal bank tor the copper,
for from this mine on the small paid
up stock of $4,000 there has been
disbursed since 1857 the enormous
| divid lend of $l3,O0O,0O0 and the ore
is richer and better to-day as they
| dig down than when the veins were
opened. These mines of Calume
and Hecla are the richest copper
mines in the world, and the profits
of their management are almost
fabulous.
For a long time the ore character
istic of these rich lodes was con-
s,dereG intractable. 1t wasnot con-
sldered rich enough to pay for the
cost of reduction, and the attention
OF copper miners was almost wholly
given 10 the costly working OF the
solid or native masses as they were
found in Northern Michigan. But
some keen philosophical genius sat
down and pondered over the sub
ject. The immense waste of the
raw material stirred him up, to the
exlsency, and be devised the pro-
cess which has worked such won
derous revolution in the field of
copper mining. The stubborn ore
is simply broken into small frag-
ments at the mine, not unlike
anthracite coal. 1t is then trans
ported on a little railroad ten miles
to the works on the lake shore,
where it is reduced to fine ponder
by mechanical appliances, it is then
washed in running water and wash
ed and rewashed again until the
resldunm of this bath netting twenty
per cent. copper will net twenty-five
per cent. In the next, and so on until
two scores or more washings show
a net product of ninety-hvs per
cent pure. Pumps are used here
Ill this process that drive one mil
lion gallons of water through the
siuice boxes every hour, day and
night. To save space and detail it
may be finally added in a word that
the ninety-hve per cent of pure cop
per is completely eliminated at the
smelling works of the five per cent
of alloy, producing the pure, gold
en- hued metal ready for shipment.
The mine at Calumet is said by
experts to be a greater marvel and
success in the line of engineering
than any of the famous shafts on
the Comstock Lode. The copper
miners work in chambers and gal

The Royal Wedding.

London, March 13.-The procession
proceeded this morning from Windsor
castle to st. Georges chapel; it was di-
vided into three parts. On the ar
rival of the guests at the west entrance
of the chapel, they were received by
the lord steward and the vice chamber
lain, and conducted to seats upon the
dais. Her majesty's trumpetcrs al. the
west entrance announced her arrival
by flourish. The queens procession
comprised three carriages, in the last
of whicli--a landau drawn by four
ponies = were her majesty, Princess
Beatrice and Prince Albert Victor of
Wales. The other carriages were oc-
cupied by members of the royal suite.
The marriage ceremony was per-
formed by the archbishop of Canter-
bury, assisted by bishops of London,
Winchester and Oxford and others.
Within the chancel with the officiating
clergy, were the bride and bridegroom
and their respective supporters-the
crown prince and Prince Frederick

Washington, March 13.-The demo-

of Wales and the Duke of Edinburg
for the bridegroom.
The queen, Princess Beatrice, Prince
Albert Victor of Wales, the Princess
of Wales, Prince George, the prIncesses
of Wales and bridesmaids, were on the
western portion of the dais. with the
vice chamberlain and lord chamberlain
on each side of the altar. The body
of the chapel was occupied by about
150 ambassadors and foreign ministers,
members of the nobility and distin-
guished soldiers and sailors.
The queen has commanded sketch
of the scene.
The marriage took place about
O'Clock. The bride was given away by
her father. At the conclusion of the
service the choir sang the Hallelujah
chorus, and Mendelssohn's wedding
march pealed forth as the bride and
bridegroom left the chapel. While on
the Long walk a salute of guns an
nounced the termination of the cere-
mony. The royal family and guests
left the chapel in the reversed order in
which they entered. All the royal
personages returned to the queens en-
trance to the castle, where the registry
of the marriage was signed, in the
green drawing room, and duly attested
by the queen and other distinguished
personages invited to attend for the
purpose. In the quadrangle, opposite

Very Lates, from szegedin.

Pesth, March 13.-The danger in
Szegedin is increasing. The rescuing
boats continually strike ruins, so that
in many cases the rescue of sufferers
is impossibly. One boat capsized, by
which seven women were drowned. A
violent storm is raging. The flood is
continually rising, and is now two feet
above the level of the Thesis. The un-
submerged area has been reduced to
600 square metres, which continually
decreases. At the first irruption Of
the water 50 soldiers were drowned.

WASHINGTON.
An Important Army Decision.


Washington, March 13.-The judge
advocate general has rendered a de-
cision that the provision in the last ap-
preparation bill, prohibiting the presi-
dent from making promotions in the
army and retiring officers, pending the
action of congress on the reorganiza-
tion Of the army, extended only during
the life Of the congress which enacted
it, and it is now exhausted. The secre-
tary Of war will therefore prepare list
of nominations for the retired list, and
for promotion to fill the vacancies, and
will send it to the senate as soon as that
body organizes next week. This an
nouncement will be met with great
deal Of interest, entailing the retire
ment of from thirty to fifty officers of
high rank, and cause promotions to fill
the vacancies. Thirty officers have al
ready been examined and reported for
retirement.
