Copper.
Frow- the s. P. Report.


 Everybody knows the weight and value of an ordinary penny piece, andthat it is principally composed of copper, so that if anyone were to , find great lump of that metal in the earth weighing 420 tons there would be a fine fortune. Such mass of pure native copper was found in the Minnesota mine in 1857, and it was 45 feet long, g feet broad, and 8 Meet thick. There is piece of cop per in the museum in Lisbon which ie from Peru, and it weighc 2,6l6 hnds; and near Brunswick, in W Jersey, there was thin sheet pure copper found in the rocks ch could be traced for several as. There are some very profit mines near Lake Superior be- - Canada and the United States, often yield S,000 tons year lure copper, and in 1853 great of copper was found at kewc-
 " which weighed 200 tons
 Q feet in length. It con
 feover, much silver, and
 copper was cut and pol s. looked very beautiful. In Ns ', parts of the world small pieces of pure copper have been found in cracks in the hardest rocks; and man, soon after he turned his attention to . civilized life, began to use copper. Then he mixed it with tin and pro- duced weapons of bronze, which wsre used a long period before iron Twas discovered. The early natives of North America, like all others, first of all used sharpened stones as their knives and spear heads, but they soon begen to make use of the yellow metal they found every now and then among the rocks. They even tried to fnd copper, and ob. tained it from the mines on Lake for, for tRe present miners
 upon the old diggiogs whilst ing in places where gigantic and dense vegetation must have led for thousands of years.
 |pper is usually found combined Iother substances to form an ore, this has to be burned and run shapes before the pure copper is ped. It is most probable tha: pper, and even the great Jumps Ere native copper were once in prm of ore or combined with kp bstances. Native copper is
 ose to rocks which are ex-
 the lava and slag which Iss't out of volcanoes. These
 were forced into the earth
 in a molten state, and their e heat affected the copper ores by. The substances combined he copper to form the ore were Pyed by tho heat, and the pure
 remained.

Silver Belt,

The developments of Silver Belt have demonstrated the continuance of the great Contention lode northwest toward the big wash much further than croakers would heretofore admit. They have struck ore within the last week that assays from S45 to $50 per ton. We now see no reason why the sanguine ones, who contend that this lode extends not only to the oig wash north of town, but beyond, across the mesa toward the Dragoon mountains, may not have a groundwork for their theory, and we shall not he surprised to see ex- tensive works, at an early day, to demon strate th,s theory. Silver Belt develop. ments have extended the lode northward a long distance beyond where the bears would heretofore concede it to run. Mir. Boren is deserving of the success he has met with for his faith and perseverance In this work.

A few weeks ago Huse Mohler returned
home about IL o'clock in the evening, on
entering the gate he observed a man sta
toned down the street some fifty feet dis

and was much surprised and not q little
excited to find the fellow was pursuing
him, having already passed through the
gate. Not desirous Of an interview at that
hour and under the existing circums tances.
Huse quickly passed into the house, clos.
ed and secured the door, when the intru
der stepped upon the poarch, walked
unickly to the door and attempted to open
it. Huse returned to his room excited
and alarmed, but all remained gniet dur

vanished and hs laughed about the mar

terious visitor. But a few nights ago be-
fore Huse returned home a man entered
the front door, passed up stairs, but ex
cited no alarm a. the family supposed i

A strangers fret observation, on entering
eur town, is the lack OF interest manifested
in keeping up the appearance of property.
Parts of the town bear no evidence of the
existancs of paint shop within q radius of
a hundred miles of the place. In some To-
calities the residents take q particular
pride in making their houses attractive,
pleasant and comfortable-Suchs streets be.
come favorite resorts and all admire if they
do fail to emulate the example. Nothing
with such comparatively small expense,
contributes so much to the appearance of a
house fresh coat Of paint. II not only
makes it bright, cheerful and home like
but preserves and protects the property
In fact il ls assmatter of economy as we'll AZ
improvement and should be encouraged by
all who have at heart an interest in the
towns appearance.
