Uncle Sam is digging and constracting another canal, by the side of the old one ‘The second one is to enable the passage of vessels each way at the same time, and also to permit the passage of vessels drawing more water than can be floated in the old one. The sides of the new canal are to be ston’d, and the bottom is being heavily tim- bered and then doubly cross-planked, the planks running lengthwise of thecanal. The Water In the old one is admitted endwise: in the new it is to be let in :rom the bottom. There is to be only one lock ia the new canal, and there are, I think, three in the old. Some year or two will be required to complete the work. But to mining matters. mining interests, entirely each other. The iron interest has its local commercial center at Marquette. I think I have before stated that Marquette is the finest town in the Lake Superior country. It would be deemed a handsome, tasteful, durably-built town anywhere. It’ has rail- road cornection with your lower (in the Sense of latitude) world, although a little circuitous. Some of the ore that is smelted at this pliee,or shipped away in 18 brought by rail thirty miles from inte- rior.

Originally there were 20,000 shares to each mine, and these shares cost the original sharetolders, I am told, in paid iments, about $20, tion of the two mines had very original share another share Ws issued and presented as a gratuity 15 the shareholders, making an aggrezate of 80 000 shares. I observe by the Mining Ga- (fe, published at Houghton, by J. R. Dever- UX, esq., that the shares of the Calumet were scliing in Boston at #155.50; this gives 4 capital valuation of $12,440,000. The div: denas are made quarterly, and I unders amount to $0 per br 2 share, which is, if my bmetic be not ‘anity. a little over 13 per per aznum, or eight times thetroriginal cost aunnally. But there fs another view of this mine that is quite as interesting. It has been worked atout six years, and there is a town environ- ing the mine of 5.000 inhabitants; and the recs of dwellings, rented to the indus- population at a merely nominal rental, the various huge buildings used In the mining operations, together with some churches, arti a very large school building, nearly ¢om- pleted, whieh will cost £50.900, have all been erected at the expense of the receipts of this great mine. Besides these disbarsements, {t issaid that the mine bas an accrmulated furd of about #4,000,000 for emergencies. What must be the —s receipts of the Calumet to date? I ’may add that about 2,000 men are employed in emptying its cim- merian regions.
