"My brother, Joshua Child
has prospect now that looks more fatterins
than any thing ever struck on the Lake. The
worfd cannot beat it--or rather, ! would say
never has beaten the siotc he has now in sight
After sinking forty feet, he struck a sheet OF
pure solid copper, extending the whole length
of the shaft, ten feet, how much farther we can
not tell, for it is solid in each end of his shaft,
and at the top from three 10 four inches thick,
widening on, To twelve inches thick in going
down few feet. He has sunk down on both
sides OF il twelve feet, TO the bottom of it, and it
is supposed from wha, is seen, 10 say nothing Of
what is running ia the hill from each end OF the
shaft, that Will weigh at least four tons. He
has sunk down several feet under this big sheet,
and there over head is this large mass Of native
copper, suspended, as it were, by large masses
at each end, unseen because uncovered. IIy
brother came up this evening, and tells me he
has struck another sheet of solid copper, not
quite so thick at top, directly under this big one
How large it is be cannot yet tell. as he has
only sunk down foot along each side of it, He
has also started another shaft some two or three
hundred feet down the hill, struck the vein, and

weigh from twenty to fifty pounds. He is ira.

sunbury, northumberland

| The Senator from Missouri had said, in regard
TO the treaty of Utrecht, that Commissioners
were appointed, and did establish the parallel
OF AZ, but he did not say that line ran over the
/ Rocky Mountains, and that was the only part
OF any Importance to this Oregon question.
There was no difficulty as to what was our
boundary.liast of the Mountans-our difficulty
! lay wholly West of them-and the question
was whether the parallel of 40 was such a
boundary between us and Great Britain as to
affect our claim TO the whole of Oregon.
Mr. Cass then proceeded to review the nu-
thorites quoted by Mr.. Benton The construc.
tion given to the motives of Mr. Jefferson, he
considered entirely erroneous. The very part
ofthe treaty which MIR. Jefferson wished TO
/ strike out, was the part which extented our IT,
tie to the Pacific Ocean, and this he wished
out, that it might not alarm Spain with the idea
that the United States had any pretensions to
the Territory on the Northwest Coast, and oper.
ate unfavorab'y on the negotiations then pend
ing for the acquisition Of Florida.
The ground taken by Mr.. Cass was, that the
| treaty OF Utrecht established no boundary line
west of the Rocky Mountains, aud that therefore
our claim was not limited by any such line in
Oregon. The country on the Pacific wns en-.
tirely unknown and unclaimed when the treaty
of Utrecht was formed British negotiations
in 1876, and Mr. Pakenham in 1914. fix the
commencement of the British title at the voyage
0: Capt Cook in IT'S. The treaty of Utrecht
only provides for establishing laws between
the French ard British colonies, including the
Hudson's Bay Company. The British held
nothing west Of that company's possessions,
which by the charter included LANDS, countries
and territories on the waters running into Hud-
sons Bay. Neither France nor England could
claim the country to the Pacific so as to divide
it between them, for SO late as the Noo;kn
Convention, in 1880, the British government,
had expressly recognized the Spanish title to
that country, and claimed only the end of it for
her subjects, in common with those of Spain.
Gen. Cnss, in concluding his remarks, said
'ndt Hc WOuiu now STATE IN the senator rom
Missouri what was the condition under which
he said he would stop at the parallel of 40 de.
grees. He would read it precisely as he had
delivered it in his speech ~ now ask, sir,
what right has any American statesman, or vi hat
right has any British statesman, 10 contend tha,
our claim, whatever it may be, is not just as
good north OF this line ofI9 deg. as i, is south
ofitl When this question is answered salts.
iactorlly, l. for one, will consent to stop there
but unit! then am among those who mean to
march, if we can, TO the Russian boundary.
This is my position, and am willing at all times
to adhere to my pledge
These are the real points at issue between
the two distinguished Senators, and may pro-
badly have en- important bearing liz the ultimate
determination of the question OF boundary"
