All the great copper mines of the Unit

rather than the wit of man, says the Bos-

the Calumet & Hecla. A wandering COW
is responsible for the Quincy. The Tam
arack was piece of bull luck by reason
OF the fact that it's vertical shaft struck
the Calumet vein in richness, just under
the only large worthless spot found in the
Calumet vein. Had the great tract of
barren ground separating the Calumet
and the Hecla continued few hundred
feet lower down and made barren the
upper acres of the incline of the Tam
arack property, the Tamarack might
