The Greatest of all Mines.

President Agassiz of the Calumet
and Hecla Mining Company has made
the statement that, in his opinion. the
mine Of which he is the chief officer
can be continued in existence for
period of forty years ut an annual pro-
duction of about double its present
output. at the end of that time il may
be assumed that the supply of ore up
on which it depends will have been cx-
hausted. Looked at from the prescHt
standpoint. it may seem that an out
put OF double the present volume
would be n fair and ample average of
the probable future productions; but
when one takes into account the
enormous increase that has been made
in the use OF copper, and the probable
extension of that increase. due not
only to the growth in population, but
the introduction of new electrical de-
vices of all kinds. the estimate made
by President Agassiz of what the future
yield of his mine will be seems Il low
one.
We are inclined to believe that un-
less great changes occur the Calumet
and Hecla mine in the year 1890 will
be found producing three or four times
as much copper rs in the year 1890.
This will of course cut down the posi-
bic life Of the mine, assuming the cor
rectness of President Agassizs esti-
mates, and thus. although large re-
turns will be paid in the interval. we
should say that in twenty-five years
from this time there would be very
little life left in this great mining
property.

from such attacks. Pierce's Pellets
often cure sick headache in an hour.
They are gently laxative or actively
