NEoAuNEE, Mich, Aug. 27.-The old
stories about the existence OF rich .dcpos-
it's of silver to the north of this city are
being revived by the specimens of silver
lead that are frequently brouRht into the
city. Some of these specimens are re-
markably rich i'm silver, and III the lode
from which they were taken was OF amy
size at all il would pay to work il. The
specimens are brouRh from the country
to the northwar near the old Holyoke
and Silver lead mines, which were worked
for "a short time twenty years ago and then
abandoned. There are deposits of silver
lead, which il n quartzitc containing
large quantities of g~alcna. with silver, of
large extent i'm the country tn the north
ward. Whether they would prove profit
able to work or not is the question:.
The existence of galena i'm quantities
sufficient to work at - profit will soon he
determined, as Mr.. John Mcdonald. of
Iron River, Mich, has u ospec some
ten or twelve miles northwest of this city
which he has been working during the
summer and where he is smelling the ga,
lena with u portable forge. The result of
his experiments il not known yet. but as
the rock that hc il taking from the shaft
is rich in galcna il is probable that the
tests will show that he can mine lead ut "a
profit.
The country north of the Marquette iron
range was set down by Prof. Raphael
Pumpelly as all of a granite formation
when he made a geological survey al the
district for the State some fifteen years
ago. Recent explorations nave shown the
fallacy of this. and have also shown that
gold may exist i'm "a granite formation. In
addition to half n dozen kinds of iron ore
the following metals, native or in the
Marquette county: Copper, both a. a gray
and a green oxide. lead as galcna. silver
ores. and other metals i'm small ananti,ics.
Some twenty different minerals of com
mercial value are found in The Ropes
mine alone, gold and silver being the only
two that are found In sufficient quantities
tn pay for working.
