What to see in America . for mostof its length is filled by the narrow, deep Portage channel has been dredged the rest of the way to allowvessels to pass freely. A few miles back on the hills northerlyis the great Calumet and Hecla copper mine, which was dis-covered in 1865 by a man who went into a hole, left by theroots of a big overturned pine tree, to get a litter of pigs thatwas there.
