TO THE PUBLIC.
RICHARD ". YOUNG.
Commissioner

The mineral lands" included in the foregoing
proclamation chiefly situated between Lake
Superior and the Montreal river and on Isle Roy
ale II the northern peninsula Of Michigan, and are
rendered immensely valuable by the exhaustless
mines o. copper and other ores found therein.
A considerable number of those mines have al
ready been discovered in the trap ranges. within
few miles of Lake Superior and from the geo.
logical character of the country. and the eXplora
tons already made, it cannot be doubted that 9th
ers 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 others yet discovered in the world
Silver is found in considerable quantities.
All the necessary materials for the construc-
ton of furnaces, and fuel for srneitne are found
in abundance in the immediate neighborhood of
tie 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, on which are several safe
and excellent harbors, and the water communica-
ton thcrefrom, by the Sault Ste. Marie, lakes HUI
Erie, &c, furnished ready means OF transport
ing the products of these lands to the principal
markets Of the United States at a very triaing
cost.
1t likewise appears from the reports to this Of
fee that the agricultural lands are Of a fair quail
", producing the usual culinary vegetables and
grass in abundance, and, when properly tiled,
they have been found favorable for grain crops
also; 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 evidence
OF the richness Of the soil.
Maps, showing the localities Of the mires and
other valuable information relating thereto, derived
fronithe geological survey, &c, which cannot be
embraced il this brief notice. VIII be prepared and
deposited in the land Office at the Sault Ste Marie
for inspection, early as practicable before the
commencement c. public sales.

TO THE PUBLIC.

The lands embraced in the above proclamation
are located principally on and adjacent to the Mis-
sissippi and st. Croix rivers. Those designated
as mineral are extremely valuable; because in

cess to market. either to the South by the Missis
sippi river, 70 the East by the way Of the lakes
and the several lines of communication that con
meet herewith.
Valuable timber and all other necessary. recuis-
ties for building and smelling are found i'm great
abundance. and of the finest quality The climate
IS healthy and pleasant-the cold being rarely
more intense than in the northern part of New
| York-and many of the lands are exceedingly
fertile producing all the grains and vegetables that
can be raised IN Massachusetts, or northern New
York

other valuable information relating thereto deriv-
ed from the geological survey, &c, which cannot

Mr. Fz Warren has Of late been neglected
