j Value of Various Copper Ores.
I Tho following estimate has been

great copper mines of tbo country;
! The Calumet aud Ileela ore curries .'I
per cont copper; the Tamarack, l.Sl
percent copper; tbo Wolverino, 1.1
per cent copper, aud tbo Atlantic, a
litto more thau one-half of ouo per
cent copper. These Michigan mlnoi
yield no other uiotal iu considerable
quantities, aud tho ores from those
properties do not equal In copper
values the ores from our western cop
per mines. Tbeso western mines
bavo also big values iu lead, sold
aud silver. Tho Auacouda carries
about 4.5 per cont cupper; the Cop
per Queen, about 8 per cent Cenner:
tho Uuitod Verde, 7 per cent copper.
