house, has been transferred to the Mani
tou island lighthouse, succeeding William
BENEFITS as assistant keeper.
Ground was broken on Monday last for
the new shaft on the Arnold property,
about 1,2O0 feet west of the present
shaft. The excellent showing OF the drift
running west for the whole distance,
nearly 500 feet, has proved, to the COM
plete satisfaction OF the friends OF the
property, that they have something rich
er and more continuous than ever before
encounte ed in an ashbed lode. It's
amusing to hear the comments OF some
of the doubling Thomases on the Arm
old's showing and prospects; they all
seem imbued with the idea that there is
no copper in sight. A visit to the mine,
however, is always sufficient TO have
them change their minds; the great stacks
OF stamp rock piled on surface conyinces
the most skeptical that there is an album
dance of copper in the property, even if it
is in old Keweenaw.

Henry Brett and son are camping at
Silver Islet, few miles from here. Mr..
Brett expresses great surprise at the
grandeur OF the scenery in that vicinity,
or rather at the apparent indifference OF
people to the scenic beauties OF the place.
We have heard people who have Travelled
over a great portion OF the globesay that
they have never seen anything to surpass
the scenery on the shore between here
and Copper Harbor, and it is strange
that it is not visited by more people.
The houses fitted up by Foley < Smith
are proving great convenience to per-
sons visiting here for few days. The
houses being fully furnished with the ex-
ception of bedding seems to strike the Wis
itors just right and as goods can be
bought here at Just the same prices as at
Calumet there ia no need to fill up rig
with eatables, etc.
