TO THE PUBLIC.

The mineral lands included ip the foregoing
proclamation are chiefly situated between Lake
Superior and the Montreal river, and on Isle Roy
ale, in the northern peninsula Of Michigan, and
are rendered immensely valuable by the exhaust
less mines of copper and other ores found therein
"A considerable number of those mines have a.
ready been discovered in the trap ranges, within a
few miles of Lake Superior; and from the geolog-
ical character of the country, and the explorations
already made, it cannot be doubted that others
equally, if not more valuable, will be found
throughout this whole ''mineral region
In some of the mines now worked, copper is
found almost pure; and, in fact, most Of the ma
tive copper and ores yield greater per centage
than any other yet discovered in the world Sill
yer is also found in considerable quantities.
All the necessary materials for the construction
of furnaces, and fuel for smelling, are found in
abundance in the. immediate neghbourhood of the
mineral.
The climate in the winter, though cold, does
not interrupt the operations Of the mners in fact,
that season is considered the most favorable for
their operations.
The proximity Of these mineral lands to the
shore of lake Superior, which are several safe
and excellent harbors, and the water comDluniea-
ton therefrom, by the Sault Ste. Marie, lakes
Huron Erie, &c, furnish ready means of trans
porting the products Of these lands to the princ-
cost.
1t likewise appears from the reports to this Of
fee. that the agricultural lands are of fair quail
ty, producing the usual culinary vegetables and
grass in abundance, and, when properly titled,
they have been found favorable for grain crops al
so; and for all these products, fair price and
good market will be found the mines. Z
Timber-such as white and yellow pine, sugar
maple, yellow birch &c.-is, in many places,
very abundant, and by its thrifty growth gives ev-
idence of she richness Of the SOIL
Maps, showing the localities of the mines and
other valuable Information relating thereto, derived
from the geological survey, SC, which cannot be
embraced in this brief notice, will be prepared and
deposited in the land office at Saut ST. Marie, for
inspection, early practicable, before the COM
mencement of the public sales

DREApFUL OCcURRRNCE--A correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun states that the Rev James
Nichols, of Caroline county, Md, who has for
long time been laboring under an alteration
of mind, on Thursday last, shot dead Miss Ju-
liet Nichols. She and several of the family
were put up stairs at the usual time of Mr. N.
holding family prayer, when he summoned them
to his room Upon the unfortunate lady OPEN
ing the door. Nichols leyelled gun at her and
shot her dead. He then in his murderous in
sanity, dragged her out of the house some dis
tance to hog pen, and atte mpted to throw her
into it. Failing to do this, he fed, and has not
since been heard Of
