COPPER MINING INDUSTRY.
1t is Giving Employment to 49,
551 Miners This Year.

It is claimed that the copper
mines of upper Michigan are now
giving employment to 1851 men,
and If capable miners could be Sc
cured the number would be con-
siderably increased. OF this num-
ber all but 500 are employed in
Houghton county. These figures
are according to the census taken
by the mine inspectors of Houghton
and Ontonagon counties.
Only twenty-seven fatalities have
occurred so far this year. They
were due to several causes, the most
common being the fall of rock. Five
met their death in this way. The
fall of timber was the cause of the
death of another. Premature ex-
plosions were responsible for FIVE
deaths. Falling down shafts and
Slopes caused the death of six others.
The remaining accidents were due
to variety of causes. A point
worthy of note is the nationality of
the men killed. The English-more
closely Cornish-and Firms are the
ones chiefly employed in the mines.
The former had four fatalities
against fifteen of the Firms. This
fact is due in great part to the
superior skill and care of the Eng
lish miners. These men come here
from Cornwall, where they were
born and bred to their vocations.
They are the best miners in the cop
per country. The fatality rate is a
little over two to 1000, which is
low considering the number of in
experienced miners.

WILL TRY AGAIN.
Sir Thomas Upton to Challenge
for the Cup in 1901.

Sir Thomas Upton is planning to
get even on some other day, He has
thoroughly discussed the matter
with the New York Yacht club and
in day or two will make public
his challenge for u race in 1901. He
saws he would not be able to build n
boat and have her in shape by next
fall and as he wants plenty OF time
he names the year after. In again
challenging, Sir Thomas does not
want to get in anybody's way and
says he will retire from the field II
others wish to try for the trophy,
being willing to give them all the
advice and aid he can.
The new challenger will be de-
signed by Fife and Sir Thomas says
she must, be l5 or 20 minutes faster
than the Shamrock, which will make
her faster boat than the Columbia
The Shamrock has been taking on
her yawl rig, preparatory to the
long sail home, which will begin
Oct. 3lst. Sir Thomas will leave the
next day on the st. Louis. He hopes
the Columbia will take spin across
the ocean to show the Britons what
sort of yacht she really is. The
baronet cannot speak without thank
ing the American people for their
kindness toward him, and he is eX-
tremely gratitied, as it places him
right before the eyes of his own coun-
trymen and shows what a no-account
sportsman Dunraven was to yell the
wav he did after his boat was beaten.
