10. Mine 1 Gcrbore.


I. The Mine a Burton, situated 80
miles west north west Of Genevieve, was
discovered by Franci. Burton, about
the year 1868, on FORK of Grand river,
ten miles from its junction with the main
river, after which it takes the name of
Ranault's fork of the Merimak, and IL
mites with: thar river, about IS miles a.
hove its junction with the Mississippi.-
The FauGhe Ranault is navigable ia the
spring season, within ten miles Of the
Mine Burton. In the year 179s, .
concession Of one leauge in ,suPer6ee,
comprehendihg about one third part Of
the mine (on coalition he should erect
a smelling furnace, aad establish lead
MANUFACTURED was granted to NJ. Austin,
all Of which he has carried into exeeuti-
on. Francis Burton also obtained grant
of four acres, as a compensation fer the
discovery =. ,.--.1 ),
There is a<sman village At this place,
of near twenty iamilit s, who cultivate
"a little land near tho mines; Two grist
mills, with saw mill, furnish the in
habitants with grinding and plank. -
The greatest part Of the workings at
the Mine Burton, are in an open pra-
ire which rises neariyAan hundred feet
above the level, Of the creek. The
mines may be said to extend over two
thousand acres of land but the principal
workings are within. the limits of one
hundred and sixty' acres !, and perhaps
NO part Of the world furnishes lead GRE in
greater quantities and purity The mi
neral is found within two feet Of the SUR
face of the earth, and it Is seldom the
miners dig deeper that ten feet, not that
the mineral diseontinues, but because
they End it troublesome to raise out &c the
ground: The French miners beingun-
acquainted with the utility Of machine
~, and generally are able to procure it in
plenty nearer the surface.
The manner in which The mines have
been wrought, renders it Impossible to
determine whether: the mineral srm;.
nate in regular veins or not for when
the miner finds himself ten OF twelve feet
below the surfee, his experience oblis-
es him to quit his digging and begin a.
new, Notwithstanding the appear anee Of
mineral may be good. Thus one hale
