TO THE PUBLIC.


The mineral lands included in the foregoing proclama-
ton embrace the greater portion of keweena Point and
the southern shore OF Lake Superior, IN the northern pc
nnsula OF Michigan, and rendered immensely valuable
by the eAhausess mines OF copper and other found
therein.
considerable number of those mines have already been
discovered IN the trap ranges bordering Lake Superior
and within few miles of III and from the geological
acer of the country and the explorations already made
cannot be doubted that others equally, if more valua-
BILE will be found throughout this whole mineral region
In of the mines worked copper found almost
pure and in fact most OF the native copper and yield
greater centage than other yet discovered the
world. Silver is also found in considerable quantities.
All the materials for the construction Of fur
naces, and fuel for smelling found in abundance in the
immediate neighborhood OF the mineral and the OF
the country is such that the mines require but le if any,
artificial drainage and therefore worked great ad-
vantage.
The climate in the winter though cold does not inter
the operations of the miners; fact that sea is
considered the most favorable for their operations.
The proximity OF these mineral lands to the shore of Lake
Superior, which several safe and excellent harbors,
and the water communication thereom by the Sault Sic
Marie, Lakes Huron, Erie, &c. furnish ready means OF
transporting the products of these lands TO the principal
markets OF the United States at very rfng cost
Ii likewise appears from the reports to this Office that
the agricultural lands are Of fair quality, producing the
usual culinary vegetables and grass in abundance and
doubt, when the soil is properly titled will be favorable
Tor grain crops Timber suticen for the usual purposes,
and in many places abundant white and yellow pine,
sugar maple, yellow BIRCH &c, and by their thrifty growth
evidence of the richness the soil, the
which will command fair price from their vicinity the
mines which will always furnish good market.
Maps showing the localities OF mines and other vaua-
BILE information relating thereto, derived from the geoogi
cal survey Ne, which cannot be embraced in this brief
notice. will be prepared and deposited with the land Off
the Sault Ste Marie early practicable before
