TO THE PUBLIC.

The mineral lands included in the foregoing procama
ton embrace The greater portion of keweena Point and
ninsua oil Michigan, and rendered immensely valuable
10y the exhausiess mines OF copper and other found
therein . ".---
considerable number of those mines have already beer
discovered In the trap ranges bordering Lake Superior
and within few miles of il; and from the geological char
scer OF the country and the explorations already made,
cannot be doubled that others equally, if more vaua
ble will be found throughout this whole ineral sion
In some of the mines now worked, copper is found ano-
and in fact most OF the native copper and yield
greater per centage than any other yet discovered in
world Silver is also found in considerable quantities
All the necessary materials for the construction of fur
immediate neighborhood of the mineral; and the face o
the country is such, that the mines require but little if
artificial drainage and are therefore worked great adj
vantage.
The climate in the winter though cold, does not inter
rupt the operations OF the mners in fact that
considered the most favorable for their operations.
The proximity of these mineral lands the shore of Lake
Superior which several safe and excellent habors
Marie, Lakes Huron, Erie, &C., furnish ready means
transporting the products of these lands the principa
markets OF The United States al a very trflmg cost
1t likewise appears, from the reports this Office tina
the agricultural lands of fair quality, producing tin
usual culinary vegetables and grass abundance and,
doubt, when the soil is properly tled IL will be favorable
for grain Timber sufc lent for the usual purposes
and in many places very abundant white and yellow pine
give evidence of the richness Of the SOIL the product
which will command fair price from their vicinity to th
mines, which will always furnish good market
Maps showing the localities OF the mines and other vaua
