THE ISELgKri5jYVERl'fS50 -1*11^ " The following extracts are from a let ter dated at Portage Lake, Lake Superior, March 15. 1855: The Isle Royale Mine having Wen worked mero extensively than any other in this district, a short account of it* operations may not be uninteresting at this time. Work was commenced in May, 1852, with a small force, which did not excee<i on an average seventeen men the firs year. During tl e second year the num ber of men engaged was about fifty. The labor, up to the clo.se of the second year, was expended in opening the mine, by shafts and drift.?, and the usual sur face improvements of buildings, clearing lands, and constructing a road to the lake?a uistance of about a mile. E*rly last spring preparations wen begun for erecting stamp works, which were so far completed as to commence running with eight heads in November. In December, the number of heads was increased to sixteen, which is the numbei at present in usa. The stamp building is a large and commodious structure, 140 feet by Go. with a boiler ani furnace room attached. The building is designed to accommodate sixty four heads of stamps, and most of the machinery and fixtures for half that number are now on the ground. The product of sixteen heads has been equal to about ten tons of No. 1 roppe: per month, and as it is now ascertained that the barrel work and masses will amount to as much, if not more, the wboie product of the mine, working six teen heads of stamps, wiil be twenty tons per month. The actual yield ha bien, for the months of January and February, 41 tons 1,364 pounds. The ground opened at the Isle Royale. and its position in the mine, March 1st, is as follows: 5 shafts sunk to the fir^i level, 79 feet; 3 of these are extended to the second level, ard one to the third The diifiing on the first level is 850. a-d on the second 452 feet. R.ducing the whole work to cubic fathumj, we?have the result stated below : 735 fee- shafting, equal to 2 2 4 fathoms 1,202 44 drifting, 44 171 6 ?? ?typing 0 4 Tot;il aa't(f ground brakes 0 " The actual product of the above ground has b*.'en 120 tons 1 310 pounds r??ugl | copper, or 396 i pounds for every latholn ? of ground broken. Reducing this to pur< ingot copper, the amount at 70 per cen will be 88 tons 1.321 pounds, or 277? pounds fir every fathom. I believe the.-e figures settle the ques tion in regard to the Isle Roy ale's mak jing a paying mine. As the stopim ? progresses the ) ie!d of copper per fathom j will be considerably increased, since, in j shafting and drifting, a large quantit\ ! of dead ground necessarily has to be j opened. The operations for the month of Feb ruary show a very gratifying result : Amount cf copper prepared lor market 21 tons 402 lbs. rough, cr 14 tons 1,G81 lbs. of ingot copper, which, at j550 per ton. will bring $8,104 75. The expenses at the mine for thi same month were ?2 715 12, leaving a balance in favor of the company of $5,449 63. The expenses at the mine for the month of February were ur usually low, but allowing $2,000 more for regular monthly expenses, and it wiil give a sum sufficient to supply 16 heads of stamps, and keep tke work cf opening the mine in advance of the step ing, and still aft >rd a net profit per month of 83.449 03. I have no doub< this rate can be maintained. There were shipped in the fall of 1853 from the Isle Royale Mine 15 tons 1,( 79 lbs.; in the fall of 1854. 32 tons 1,904 lbs., and by the 15th of May next, 10G tons will be barreled up ready for ship ment. The Minnesota Mine produoed the first year 6i tons of copper: Jthe second 52, and the third 103?making a difference of only about 7 tons for the same length of time in favor of the Minnesota?ono of the richest copper mines in the world. Some very respectable sizrd masses have been taken from the Isle Royale this winter?two that will weigh 2,000 lbs. each and one over 6,000. The Isle Royale is now working at a very handsome profit, and I cannot see any necessity or excuse for the expendi tures at the mine exceeding for a single month the amount of copper produced The Portage Mine, which joins the Isle Royale towards the lake, is opened near ly to the same extent, but it has not any stamp works in operation. They are, however, now in course of construction, and are designed to be completed eaily in the coming season. The adit level in tended for drainage is nearly through, and the appearance of the mine is in all resptc a highly encouraging. Theground opened the past winter has been some of j the richest yet broken in the mine. The character of the Portage, in respect to richncss and size of vein, in so similar to the Isle Royale that it will be safe to as sume that, with 16 heads of stamps, it will yield an equal amount of copper, and the difference probably will be that the Portage will produce a greater amount of stamp compared with barrel work. The Portage possesses one or two ad vantages, in being nearer to the lake, and on ground more favorably situated for drainage. When to adit level is com pleted, a heavy annual expendituie wiil be saved. Some interesting discoveries have late ly been made upon the Quincy and Pe wabic. A series of ancient pits, traceable across both these locations, have recently been opened, and found to mark a very well defined vein, rich in copper. Pieces of flattened copper have been taken out, and stone hammers with the marks of hard usage upon them. These excava tions in the solid rock are usually four THE WEEKLY STAR. . ?

They seem to have been made by burning wood in contact with t ?e roc*, and then breaking it up with stone hammers. A large quantity of charred wood and coal and ashes is invariably found in these pits. A piecc of oak wood, found in the bottom of one of them was brought in yesterday, with a portion of the bark, in a good state of preservation, stiil upon it. One end shows the marks of the instrument by which it was cut as plaialy as if it had been just done. It ia the most per fect specimen of the kind I have yet seen. The stick is about five inches in diameter, and seems to have been cu*. standing, by a right-handed per on. with an instrument similar to an axe, having a bit at least two-and-a-half inches broad. The first blow penetrated, in the usual slanting direction, about three-fourths of an inch, cutting the bark smoothly, and leaving at its termination the mark of a sharp-edged tool. After cutting the stick nearly half off, he changed his position to the other side, and cut to within an inch of his first chip, lie then s'.ruck his instrument in each end of this re maining portion, and finished his work by breaking it down. I venture to say, that, if this stick had been freshly cut, it would not, upon close inspection, hr ve been thought singular, or to have been cut with any other than the usual in strument, and in the usual manner. I will CDly add, that the situation in which this specimen was found leaves no doubt of its origin. It is preserved with others of a similar character. C W. P. Brought Somx Dis-ance ?

How to Mace Whitewash.?The season for renovating houses has arrived, and whitewash brushes are beginning to be in motion. We presume many of our readers have learned already that to make good whitewash is no easy task, and a receipt for making a nic^ article may not come amiss to some of them. We find one in the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, which appears to te the thing desired. It is as follow r. Slack quick lime in boiling water, stirring it until slacked. Then dissolve in water white vitrol (sulphate of xiuc) which you get at the druggists, at the rate of two pounds of zinc to a half barrel or white wash making it to the consistency of rich milk. This sulphate of zinc will cause the wash to harden, and prevent tho lime from rubbing off. A pound of fine salt should be thrown into it. Jerext Iaylqr's Idia o? a Frond.?
