The Finding of a Great Mine.

nine was due 10 an almost inconceiv-
able chance is told in an interesting
pamphlet recently published by the
Calumet s. Heela Mining Company Or
the occasion of the celebration of its
fiftieth birthday.
Several centuries ago, perhaps be-
fore white man ever set foot on Amer-
can soil, a party of Indians dug up
some copper on Isle Royale AS The
winter approached they prepared to
migrate to quarters farther south;
and, loading their canoes deep with the
spoils OF the summers work, they pad
died TO the mainland toward the south
east. Avoiding the hazardous voyage
round Keweenaw Peninsula, they
started to carry across il, and were
probably overtaken by an early winter
storm. At all events, they dug a pit
and buried their copper near the place
that afterwards became Calumet No. |
shaft. BY a wonderful accident, the
spot they chose was on the hanging
wall OF the Calumet conglomerate,
close to the lode.
Relieved of their burden, the prim-
ltl'e miners hurried toward milder
cImate, but must have met with some
disaster on the voyage, as they never
returned for the copper Generations
