il NEW AND IMPOIITADiT DISCOVERY IN TIMCOP
rnit Recoort—AmsnicAN A:STU/VIM—We were
yesterday shown some curiosities teken from the
Minestota Mines un Lake'Superier,. better knowtt
as locution No. 98 oti the Ontonagon. Last winter
while the snow was on the ground, Mr. Knapp, the •
agent of the company, travelled the sinking of the
giontid for a great many miles. After the snow
had cisappeared, by digg itg into these sinks, they
found them to have been made by the hand of man,
It appears that the ancient mintes went on a dit
ferent principle from what they do at the present
time. The greatest dee h yet found in these holes
is thirty feet—after gets ng down to dcertain depth,
they drilled along the rein, making an open cut.—
These cuts have beets filed nearly to a level by the
actute lila tion of soil, and trees of Pei largest growth
standing in this gutter; l and also tkeef a very
large growth have grown up and died, and decayed
many years since; in the same places there are now -
standing trees of uter fuer hundred years growth.
In diggitig down on tips river, they have lately
discovered a mass of pure copper estimated at seven
l
tons weight, milled out a nd laying in the vein some
18 leet - below the eurlace, resting on skids six feet
Item the lowest depth of the original excavation.—
In the bottom of this ex ettation ;there Was several
cart loads of ashes aid charcoal, showing that
whoever worked it befor , bad attempted to eeperate
the mass of copper by M i sting and probably dealing
on cold water._ There h ere a large number of ham
mers found made of rstot le," weighing from one to
twenty pounds with a roove encircling them to
secure a withe to use th mi with greater advantage,
mid also copper chisels winch -had probably been
used, in detaching the reek from the native copper.
1 ' This piece of copper ik as pure and as clean as I
new cent, the upper surface has been pounded clear
and smbuth. It appears that this mass -of copper
was taken from the bottom of a shaft, at the depth
of abbot thirty feet. In sinking this' shaft from
whefo the mass now lies they followd the course of
the vein, Which pitches 'oneiderably; this enabled
them to raise it as fur a the-hole tame up with a
slant. The excavation are on an era of some three
Square Miles and widen I the modern improvements -

that the work was neter i done by their race. To
eunitemplate the great ength of time that must
lnecesearily elapse ham . vegetation could start in
these excavations, and t ees of hundreds of years
grottill come up, blow down' and decay is a theme
full of interest, land leads the immagination thousands
of years,back• without a response to show what race
of beings were the miners or when the mines were
worked. The hammers l and tools found are of the
stele workmanehip of those found in the mounds
t iroughout the western J country, and it requires no
great stretch of the tmagi.nation to suppose that
