There is now in this port3 two vessels British

with -four principally, and 70 clear cut for Pas

hereby certify, that in the year 1908, Iexam-

and found the ore to be of very superior quail

consist OF three mountains, and such is tie facis
ty OF getting the orc, that in my opinion one man
will be able to raise as much as Viii supply one
furnace The proper place for furnace is not
more than of mile from the banks. and for a

about 5 miles distant on good road, there is al!

and forge, anu large quantity of White LIKE.

upon the whole, solemnly declare that in my
opinion (and have beer for any wears acoua;nt-
