This property, consisting of 1,500 acres of land, held ender
grant from the government on liberal terms, Is situated about
three miles northeast of the town of Seesen. and Is intersected
by the railroad from Brunswick, and also by the public road from
Seeasn to Gala,; It conalsta of a basin of sedimentary rocks,
underlaying N. W. at an angle of II deg from the south boundary
of the property, and ertending from W. to E. through its whole
length until cut off at the rasters boundary by an upthrow fault,
on the east side of which are the clay, slate, and porphoretio
rocks forming the northern portion of the Han Mountains.
The peculiar value of this property Is the existence of a bed of
bituminous shale of the same character as the celebrated Maas-
feld Mines. The-hale la here eight inches thick, a ith lour inches
of copper sandstone, while In Mansfeld it is only four Inches,
and the standalone ore la aliment, but it la found at Banger-
Muses, and Is more productive of copper than the shale, the
contents of which average in Mausfeld 11 per cent. of c .pper.
The Identity of the bed is also proved by the fossil ftsh which
are found between the lamina of the shale, and all in one
position, doubled up, having been all dead before tang enclosed
In the rock.
The existence of this bed under the whole property has been
proved by the 'hafts marked ou map, 9, hi, in the eastern
portion, and two in the western, marked 1., In all of which the
shale maintain. the some character and strength. The deOh
from surface is on the south side, about 30 feet ; and, in the
deepest portion, where the main shaft should be placed, marked
M. will not exceed 100 feet, while the depth of the Mandleld
Mine Is 300 to 411. i feet, There Is also au absence of water, which
offers great advantages lu the cheapness of working. Thus pro-
perty being of quite au exceptional character I considered ft
right to visit Mandeld, to mairtain for myself the method of
taliatenent of the orea, and also the vat of working and extract.
big the copper and elver ores which have rendered these mines
so famous. The weekly yield being at present ff 8.000 worth
of silver, and E 16,000 worth of copper, from eight mines.
The nature of this ore la such that it is treated at a mere
nominal cost, and without any expensive chemical or patent
process, and the ores at Mathllde mines can be all treated In
the same way.
I now give you a statement of the expenses required and the
results which may be depended upon as being correct, the prices
having been carefully ascertained from Mr. Aasessor Hausmann,
of Brunswick, the heed government engineer, and carefully
checked by persocal observations and inquiries at Mansfeld—
wages being hare onethini less than in England.
I have, therefore, no hesitation in rerommen ling you at once
to complete the purchase of this most valuable property, which
andel= over 4,000.000 tons of ore : 1.40 acres gives 06,140,000
feet, which ut 11 cent per foot will yield a gross value of over
£OOOO,OOO of copper, and flowing one half for expenses, will
yield 43,600,000 prott, without including the value of the silver.

iJiNTRACT Of REPORT or ASSFSSOR HAUSMANN,
Government Mining Engineer, Brnnmeick.
The new shafts down to the copper achlata are from 30 to 100
feet deep, and became deeper as you go further north. In a
westerly direction, through the length of the property, the depth
may vary from 30 to 10e feet, but in all other parts It is ;Hiltons%
The eitraction of the schist and sand ores is contracted for
at about Ifs. per ton.
The railway crosses the property In its length from east to west.
There le a railway station noes to the newly-establisheil experi-
mental shafts, and this Is the place adapted for the erection of
worts for smelting the ores There is a direct communication
by mil to Ha burgh. &stance.) miles : freight. 6s per ton.
According to experiments, up to thii date the copper schist
and the sand ores ha% e. on the average. produced two per cent.
of copper; and in each hundredweight of copper four on. of
silver, there being a cansiderable portion of gold In the silver.
The copper whist layer has everywhere, aa in the county of
Mansfeld, the same strength, 14 inches. whereof 74 inches Is
malleable ore, and 04 inches nand or.. The whole strength of
the malleable bed, 10 Indies.
These items are given In minimum.
In conclusion, I beg to say that in these flat bade, where the
copper schist layer Mennen: diffused, the profits from these two
per cent. ores have a great advantage over copper ores of a richer
percentage, which In England and other countries are Arm,
mined with gangues.
I must not omit to mention that the whole of the copper schist
layer has a considerable and equally ditf nerd amount of Wanness
phologene and salmis! oil, An wirch se so strong that • heap of
it once ignited by a little wood for roe ting purposes continues to
burn without further trouble.
