Lost Mines Of the Lakes.

a lne romance CI lOSl mlneS
is not confined to the Rocky
Mountain region, whence
most of the stories of their
re-discoveries come. Thous-
ands OF years before the lost
mines of that country were
first nnearthed, before Colum
bus, before history, almost
before tradition, even brown
brown skinned miners delved
in to copper and silver lodes
around Lake Superior, and
the results Of their work are
to-day.found scattered from
the Mississippi Valley to the
AlIeghanies, and from the
lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.
Every little while copper
knives and ornaments and
silver utensils are dug up at
various places within these
boundaries, and 80 different
are they from what can be
fashioned to day or from
what the Indians of recent
past can make that it ise easy
to trace their origin. The cop
per has a temper like steel,
can be sharpened, and rings
like a tuning fork. All the
efforts of modern mettaiur.
gists fail to make such cop
per implements, for the TEN.
pering of copper is a lost art.
p 1t was a barbarism higher
than the savagery of the red
Indian that followed the
veins of ore along the surface
or tunnqlled ca autiOusly under
the overburden of rocks, and
then smelted and tempered
the metal. making imple-
ments, ornaments, cooking
utensils and the like, and
then carried these utensils
thousands of miles to the
south. to the land of the Az
tees and the Mexicans. The
ancient diggings OF these peo
pie are permanently the lost
mines OF the Western cont
nent.
And there are lost mines OF
a more recent date all over
northwestern Michigan and
northeastern Minnesota.
They were opened at various
times after the advent OF the
French into the lake country
when the first discovery OF
copper was made by a Jesuit
priest about 1850. There

The National Park Question,

Z H.
The national park is agitating the Du-
luth papers at present, several schemes
have been proposed, among them being
one 10 convert nearly all of Lake and
Cook counties and Isle Royale into q
government reserve some of the argu-
ments being that great deal of the land
is not valuable for agriculture, that the
scenery is naturally beautiful, streams
abound with speckel trout and the woods
with game etc.. The News Tribune drew
q very pretty picture of the North Shore
without overstepping the bounds of
truth, but, as the Herald said August
9th, there are other things to be consid-
cred. OF course the whole idea of both
Duluth papers is to advocate the propo-
si5ion which will be of most advantage
to Duluth, the North Shore scheme was
probably made to divert attention from
the Cooper plan, and not intended to be
entered into. -.
II we are to have such reserve we
think that there are q number of good
localities which could be used which
would not hurt Duluth or any other
place, the question is one that can't be
answered in q day. -
