A considerable immber of ihn ptines have alieady be-w disccrend in the trap ranges bordering en Lake Superior, and w.tlnn a few mile of it ; and fn.ro the g.ilogicl thaiacier 4" the country and tlie esploraiiona already made, u eannot bctloobml tliftt other c,.ially, il not more, valuable wall be sound throogbiMit this wboie sn.tisrralirgioii. In someof tne n.cs now worked. copper is fonnd almost pure, and in fact, m. st ol t h ativ copper and ores yield a gre. for per cciilngelhan any other yet discovered iu the, wuild. Silver U also found In eonniderable qusntitie. AH the necessary msteriala lor tht construction or tnmce. snt fuel for smelting, arc found In abundance in the imniei i;,te neighborhood of the mineral; and the lace of the eourTry is sucn that ttie mines require but little, if any, ar'iSrial drainage, and ire therefore worked to great advantage.. The elimnte in the winter, though cold, do not, interrupt ihe opera' ions of the miners: In fuct, tha: season is considered the m.wt favorattle for their operations. ' The proximity of these mineral lands to the shore of Lake Fepetior, o l wbii h are several safe and excellent harbor, and the wb r communication therefrom by the Sanlt Ste. Marie, Lakes Ilnron, Erie, 4tc, furnish ready means of tiftrsporting tbe products of these land to ihe principal markets of the Canted States at a very tnfl rig cost. It likewise appear Irom the report to this ofti-e, that' the egrlrultucnl lands are of a fair quality , producinj the usual rnliuary ve-.'era'des and crtm in abundance ; and no dou'it, w ben the soil is fairly tilled, it' wi'.l be found favorable tor grain crops Uo ; and for all those proJm ts a fair price and (ood market will be found at the mines. .
