TIE many formations of land
throughout the world which are the
result of volcanic eruptions are entire
Nv composed of lava. This material,
which, during its exit from the mouth
of the volcano resembles a molten
mass, is but finely ground particles of
rock. Its passage from the crater, or
mouth of the volcano, is arrested by
the cooling process of air. The grad
ual accumulation of these elected ma
terials form a succession of layers, re-
sembling earth, which accounts Tor
the conical shape of those volcanoes
which arise from the surface of the
sea. Volcanoes which are located in
the mountains resemble others of their
kind only at the top. The mineral
matter which is contained in the lava
of a volcano is oftentimes of great
valte, as for instance, the copper-bear-
ing stratum about Lake Superior,
which bears evidence OF having been
discharged from an active volcano at
SOME remote period.

He really believed himself a favorite

the copper mines of Michigan were a
source of great profit to him. Early in
his career he began investing his sur

thus acquired holdings In the City Saw
