The lands embraced in the above proclamation
are located prnciply on and adjacent 10 the Missis
sppi and st. CroH rivers. Those designated as
mineral are extremely valuable, because in addition
to the copper and other found in them they are
well watefed, and hay We ready to market, Ell
ther to the South by the Mississippi river, to the
East, by the way Of the lakes, and the several
lines of communication that connect Herewith.
Valuable timber and all other necessary re-
quistes for building and smelling, are found in
great abundance, and of the finest quality. The
climate is healthy and peasant-the cold being
rarely intense than in the northern part of
New York and many of the lands exceed
ingly fertile, producing all the grains and yegeta
bles that can be raised in Massachusetts or nor
them New York.
Maps showing the localities OF the mines, and
other valuable information relating thereto, deri
we'd from the geological survey, &C., which can
not be embraced in this brief notice, will be prcpar
ed and deposited In the land office at St. Croix for

TO THE PUBLIC.

The ssmneral ands'' included i'm 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
few miles of Lake SUPERIOR and from the geolog-
cal character of the country, and the explorations
already made, it cannot be doubted that others
equally, if not 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 III
abundance in the immediate neighbourhood Of the
mineral
The climate in the winter, though cold, does
not interrupt the operations of the miners 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 conlmunica-
ton tb refrom, by the Sault Ste. Marie, lakes
Hur i Erie, &C., furnish ready means Of trans
porting the products of these lands to the prnci-
pal markets of the United States at a very triiing
cost.
1t likewise appears from the reports to this Of
fee, that the agricultural lands 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-
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, &C., which cannot be
embraced in this brief notice. will be prepared and
deposited in the land office at Sault ST. Marie, for
inspection, as early as practicable before The COM
.mencement of the public sales.
