TO THE PUBLIC.

The ssmineral lands'' included in 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 al
ready been discovered in the trap ranges, within Il
few miles of Lake Superior; and from the geoIog-
ical character of the country, and the explorations
already made, it cannot be doubted that others
equally, if not more valuable, will be found
throug hout this whole "mneral region
In some of the mines worked, copper Is
found almost pnre; and, in fact, most of the ma
tive copper and yield IA 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 neighbourhood of the
mineral.
The CLIMATE in the winter, though cold, does
not interrupt the operations of the miners 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 hurbofs, and the water coinmunica-
ton thereirom, by the Sault Ste. Marie, lakes
Huron Erie, &C., furnish ready means Of trans
porting the products of these lands to the princi-
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 TILED,
they have been found favorable for grain crops al
SO; and for all these products, fair price and
good market will be found at the mines.
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-
dence of she richness of the soil.
Maps, showing the localities Of the mines and
other valuable information relating thereto, derived
from the geological survey, &C., 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
management Of the public sales.

This hour is sadness. On the pasied heart
How fearful is that solemn word, farewell.

VI the affections strange emotions swell;
Thoughts undefnablesring Ike kEel

Sfathom the voiceess Future to its cell,
And learn how much of darkness ,dfead and pain
Lie hidden far from view, on hfs's tempetuous

Twas bu, an hoar ago ontentment smiled
when that strange tale d boandess wealth
was told;
The quick pulse throbbed, the hot blood bounded
Through the tense art Tes of this sentient mould,
A touched by fire of werd enchantments old
Why pail those aspirations Why have fed
Those magic dreams Of greatness, and of gold ]?
Chill on the heart a sudden blight hath spread,
And Hopes unspringing flowers lie withered, cold
Thou too, perchance, hast dwell in Fancy s beams,
And thou hast felt thine eager hopes expand;
Through the dim vista OF thy waking dreams
Thine eye hath caught, afar, some promised
land,
Where Wealth shall crown the labors of thy

But for thy household shrines--the little band
That oft hath cheered thee with its siren Tone
Whose hopes and anxious fears thou madest all
thine own.
And thou hast felt, like me. the bitter pang
That crowned the severingo of heart from heart
Dull on thy spirits chords the sentence rang,
Like the beeaguering voice Of Death--we part
Didst thou repress the tear that fain would start:
Diist thou ennerve myself with stole might,
> TO shield thy spirit from the poisoned dart
Of subtle agony, that still would smite
Like devouring pestilence, TO blast and blight
The anguish hath been great, the struggle long,
but It Is past-the parting pang is o'er
M. heart shall be retaught-i will be strong,
And drink anew from Hopes exhaus,Iess store,
