WASHINGTON, FxB. 6, 1916
Copper ON Lake Superior.


new work has just appeared, describing the cop
per region on Lake Superior, accompanied BY
large map, made from the Office map of Copper Har-
Dor. That map was very incorrect, and great con-
fusion will in consequence occur, arising from the
circumstance OF the principal points on the lake
shore only being correctly laid down, while the In
terror remained unsurveyed.
Many persons having made locations binding on
others, and procured their leases OF government,
viii find themselves, perhaps, miles from the place
The exceeding great value OF that mineral region,
was early known TO many officers OF the govern
msnt, many of whom, and their friends, had COW
cred nearly every inch Of II with mae mile permits
But law or order of government was IN existence.
against permitting officers in the employ OF govern
ment (who have opportunity OF knowing much more
about such lands, than citzens) from leasing or
trading mineral lands; quently these officers.
whore known, could not get their leases confirmed.
But In order 10 over-reach the government, some
the mines, and Others for the purpose Of securing
by trick, what they were not entitled 10 by law.
The most respectable citizens were compelled to
have their respsctability endorsed by some person
we'll known at Washington, before they could pro-
cure, from the war office, permit 10 locate and
on the 10th or 18th July, the government ceased
granting any such permits to any persons whatever.
But the agents of government, at Copper Harbor,
permitted (perhaps without knowing they wers
doing wrong) military officers to fetch up lsborers,
who never had any intention to locate iano, ana
continued to permit them to locate on personal sp-
plicstion, long after government had ceased 10
grant permits at Washington.
Ii il a well knowa fact that this game has been
played to great extent, and 1t is equally well know
that Secretary Marcy is determined TO do his duy,
and wherever such claims conflict with rec ulsr1y
granted permits, and the trick clearly expo sed, he
will refuse to lease.
But should il SO happen that any citizens claim
conflicts in interest with the claim OF any Of cous
ms, brothers nephews OF certain officers, ne viii
have to fight hard to get the land.
The clerks employed at Copper Harbor, the books,
and even the office, were perfect curlosities in
themselves before Lieut. Talcott arrived there, in
August last and to say the least OF it, were no credit
to the government. >.
