| 1t would seem from the following extract Of a
letter dated May !, 1929, from Samuel Preston,
of Stockport. Pa, to the editor OF the New York
American that the existence of copper in the
region Of Lake Superior, was known earlier
! than it is generally supposed to have been, and
that the United States are Indebted fer its pos
session to Dr. Franklin.
! "Dr. Franklin told me that when he was
drawing the treaty of peace between Eng land
in the city of Paris, he had access to the iourn-
ais and charts of corps of French Engineers
/ that were exploring Lake Superior, when Que
bee fell to the English from which charts he
drew line through Lake Superior, to include
/ L
| ted States that the time would come when draw
ing that line would be considered the greatest
service that he ever rendered to his country
and the copper ore be greater source of
wealth than any other nation possessed; that
| the facilities of transportation would be well
improved SO as to export the copper ore to Eu-
rope cheaper than they raised it from their own
mines.'

appears in the last letter Of 'Minnc, the Wash
ington correspondent Of the Democrat 1t al
ludcs to matter that should he looked to by
those concerned. The letter is dated March
30th-nearry four weeks after the Legislature
adjourned:
GAN business pertaining to the Territory Of
; Minnesota that can be got ready, will be acted
on the first week in May, aud oar delegate is
urging matters forward as fast as possible If
those upon whom the duty deyoivcd had for
warded on here the memorials and petitions,
which had passed the Legislature. they would
have done good deal towards assisting the
Delegate in his duties here and been of great
service to the Territory. There is something
wrong about the matter somewhere, for memo
rails which passed have not reached here up to
this time
