   B. F. EMERSON, agent of the Copper Falls Mine, was born
 in Middleton, Essex County, Mass., December 22, 1838; he was edu-
 cated in the East, and, in 1868, came to Lake Superior; he spent two
 years at Houghton; was away two years, and, in 1872, entered the
 service of the Copper Falls Mine; he was appointed agent of this
 mine in 1873, and has held that position to this date.  Mr. EMERSON
 is a thorough student, and even in the wilds of Lake Superior has
 supplied himself with a library of very liberal proportions, having
 a keen appreciation of everything bearing on the early history of
 this region; he has procured the best and most interesting informa-
 tion on this subject.  The publishers of this work are under obliga-
 tions to him for the use of his valuable collection.
