But we are forgetting the cargo Of Copper Ore
which has Just reached our City, and which is to
be stored for few days at the Atlantic Dock.
/ This Ore is from the Bruce Mines Of The HUI
ron and st. Marys Copper Company and was on
the ground when we visited their location IN June
last Last December the working on that ground
was commenced and continued through the Winter
by party of five men only who had cabins to build
forest to clear away, NC. SC. through the long VIM
ter of short, cold and stormy days which followed
vet by the 9TH OF May this little party had mined
t,ro hundred and serenity tons Of rich Ore, contain
ing some fifty tons Of pure Copper Since May,
the number employed has been increased, and is tc
be still farther w did not hear a doubt ex
pressed in the Mineral region that more Copper
NAV be raised in given time at these mines than
at any other yet discovered in North America
while the extent, uncommon width and richness o
the Vein. already explored, insure an abundance
of Mineral for an indefinite period no matter though
thousand men were set to work upon them.
