 Mining on Lake nti«r» ?r» no longer an experiment ; and the result of their labors 
 has given increased value to all the mineral land in their vicinity. In 184.9, they 
 produced $11,064 worth of ore; in 1850, over 700 tons of line Copper; ia 1851, 
 918 tons ; in 1852, 045 tona. During tlie past winter, about 500 tons from the 
 Skimpings alone, and it is estimated that two thousand tons will be got out during 
 this year. They have as yet been unable to get the i'e(]uisite number of Vessels 
 to transport the ore, such has been the rapid productiveness of the mines, the Cop- 
 per is of the finest quality, and enjoys a Avorld-wide celebrity, from its having 
 taken the prize at the World's Fair in London, in 1851 ; it conmiands the highest 
 price in the Swansea Market, and the success of the Montreal Mining Company, 
 in spite of a large and unnecessary outlay, is placed beyond a doubt. 
 
 In view of these circumstances, the Directors of the Copper Bay Mining Company 
 feel that the time has arrived Avhen active operations should be commenced upon 
 their property, which adjoins the Bruce iMinos. is of (M[ual size, namely : — 2 miles of 
 frontage on the Lake, by 5 in depth, containing (3,400 acres, and through which 
 the same veins, now being worked by the Montreal Mining Company, traverse it 
 diagonally in a north westerly direction. The richness and extent of these veins 
 on the Copper Bay Company's location, are proven by the explorations made by 
 Captain Harris and Mr. Fairthorne, with a party of six luen, in bt^half of the Com- 
 pany in 1848. We make the following extracts from their letters : 
 
 Mr. Fairthorne writes under date of Jan. 25. 1848. 
 
 "The men are now employed in sinking a shaft on the vein which crops out in 
 the Lake. They have proceeded to the depth of 17 feet. The ore is very riSh." 
 
 May 1st, 1848, he says : '" ^Ir. Harris has visited a vein 4 miles back, ic is ex- 
 actly on the line between the Hincks and (*oji]>cr Bay location, 7 or a 8 feet in 
 width, of a most promising character. This, no dou})t, is a continuation of one of 
 the Bruce Mine veins." 
 
 Jan. 25, 1848, Captain Harris writes as folloAvs : " We are now down 17 feet in 
 the shaft. I confidently expect in a short time to have as good a vein as there is 
 on Lake Huron. I have traced the largest and V»est vein on Bruce location, within 
 60 yards of Copper Bay. ; 
 
 Juue 18, 1848, Captain Harris writes: "I beg to inform the board, that the 
 prospects of " Copper Bay Company,*' are far su]ierior to any other in this region, 
 except only the Bruce, and it is my firm l)eliei', if the Copper Bay location is fairly 
 tested, there is nothing in this region will exceed it. The veins on Bruce location 
 are being uncovered and all run towards (Jopper Bay, and they look to be very 
 productive indeed. Three miners employed on one of the Bruce veins, 70 yards 
 from us, took out 50 tons of very rich ore in one month." 
 
 Again, on 4th September, 1848, Captain Harris says : " I have, since I last wrote, 
 discovered a vein near the line between us and Bruce Mine location 4 feet wide. 
 The ores exactly correspond with the Bruce Mine." 
 
 , These opinions were subsequently veritiod by the explorations of W. E. Logan, 
 illsq., F. H. S., the Provincial Geologist of Canada, for many years employed under 
 Sir Hem V De La Beche on the Geological Survey in England, long a resident and 
 !>racticpJ co^iier smelter in Swansea, and faniiliar with, copper minina" in all its 
 letails. We publish a few extracts from his report : 
 
 1 
 
"TM North Shore of Lako Huron, in so far as it has come under my observation, 
 presenw an undulatinj^ country, rising into hills which sometimes attain the height 
 of 400knd 700 feet abuv^ the lake. These occasionally exhibit rugged escarp- 
 ments |nd naked rocky surfaces ; but in general, their summits are rather rounded, 
 and thlfir flanks, with the valleys separating one range from another, are most fro- 
 quentlyj well clothed with hard and soft wood, often of large growth, and of such 
 species^as are valuable in commerce ; in nmny places giving promise of a good arable 
 soil. JIany of the slopes are gentle, and many of the valleys wide. 
 
 " Fijk principal rivers, besides several of inferior note, flow througli the country, 
 and it Appears to abound in lakes. The principal streams arc the Thessalon, the 
 Missisigui, the Serpent, the Spanish River, and the White Fish, of which the mouths 
 are fr(^ a fifteen to thirty miles apart. The Mississagui and the Spanish Rivers are 
 the lar] ;est two, the reported length of the former being 120, and of the latter 200 
 miles ; the other three are probably not much over fifty to sixty miles each. In the 
 distano )8 measured, the Thcssalon and the Mississagui flow from the north-west to 
 the sou;h-east, the Spanish River from the north of east to the south of west, and 
 this is n a-vigable for craft drawing not over five feet, for thirty-five miles from its mouth. 
 
 " Thi series of rocks occupying this country from the connecting link between 
 Lake Huron and Superior to the vicinity of Shebawenahning, a distance of 120 
 miles, ilth a breadth in some places of ten, and in others exceeding twenty miles, 
 it appelrs to me, must be taken as belonging to one formation ; on the west it seems 
 to rejjSe on the granite which Avas represented in my Report on Lake Superior, as 
 running to the east of Gros Cap, north of Sault Ste. Marie ; on the east the same 
 supportng granite was observed by Mr. Murray north of La Cloche, between three 
 and foi miles in a straight line up the Riviere an Sable, a south flowing tributary 
 of thelpanish River ; and again, about an equal distance up another and parallel 
 tributJ-y, joining that stream eight miles farther from its mouth ; in both cases about 
 ten mils from the coast. The series is to be divided into rocks of a sedimentary, 
 and rciks of an igneous origin. 
 
 " Thi metalliferous veins intersect all the rocks that have been mentioned. They 
 are prdbably themselves intersected by cross courses, breaking their regular con- 
 tinmtj^ but that slips or displacements of the country on opposite sides of the 
 veins tili7e occurred, when the fissures were formed that constitute their mould or 
 recepta^jle, is not left in doul)t. Numerous instances were observed, where both 
 granitiand greenstone dykes, cut by the metalliferous veins, were suddenly heaved 
 considerably out of tlieir course. This fact may by some be deemed valuable, as 
 ahewin| the probable great depth and distance to which the veins may run. Tho 
 metal ^hich these veins hold in the greatest quantity is copper, and the ores in 
 which \t occurs are vitreous copper, variegated copper and copper pyrites. Iron 
 pyritesfis sometimes associated with them, but in general not in large quantity. 
 Copp^4)yrites, in one instance, was accompanied by rutile, and in another by the 
 arsenuretted sulphuret of iron and nickel containing a trace of cobalt. The gangue; 
 or vein stone, in which the ores are contained, is in general white quartz, and there^ 
 is very often present, but not in very great quantity, white compact dolomite, whichj 
 in druses assumes the forms of pearl spar, and bro-n or bitter spar ; calc-spar alsoii 
 appears occasionally iu druses in dog-tooth crystals. 
 
"The veins vary in broudtli IVom ;i few inclic!^ to HOinoiinies Ihirtyfoct. Imt whon 
 of this last great breadth, or oveu inueh los^s. they usually contain a conniderabh^ 
 • amount of brecciated wall rock mixed up with the «ianj<ue : many of them range 
 from one to three and four feet, and their slope or underlie varies from about 50'' 
 to 90**. From such as might be considered master lode^, innumerable branches of 
 various sizes start, some of which visibly diminish before ju-oceeding far. and 
 dwindle to nothing, while others maintain moderate widths, with much regularity, 
 for considerable distances, and may run to a junction with ]»arallel lodes. The 
 lodes have a bearing agreeing with the general strike of the formation, which 
 roughly coincides with the general trend of the coast. They are thus, in a rude 
 way, parallel to one another, and run in a direction between west and north west, 
 more nearly approaching the latter." 
 
 Speaking of a lode worked by the Montreal Mining location, he says : 
 
 "This last exhibition of the lode approaches to within about sixty-iive yards of 
 the western boundary of the location ; and there appears no reason to doubt that 
 this, and such other lodes as conie up parallel with it. will carry into the succeeding 
 location the same characteristics they bring to the vicinity of the boundary. The 
 same greenstone as exists on the one location, is carried into the other in the 
 prolongation of the belt that has been given as the area holding the lodes ; and 
 while this would lead us to expect no change in the mineral condition of the metal- 
 lift ous veins, it would at the same time seem to point out (the stratified nature of 
 the whole formation taken into account) tlmt no dislocation of uncommon magni- 
 tude has occurred to heave them to any unusually great extent on one side or the 
 other of their continued course and general bearing. 
 
 "The view I have taken of the physical structure of the front of the Bruce Mines 
 location, is predicated upon the supposition, that the true dip of the limestone band 
 above the French Islands, is northward, and that the band is not to be found 
 between the Thcssalon and the coast, on this location, or any to the eastward. 
 Although it was not observed, it is so narrow that if may, notwithstanding, be 
 concealed on the north side of the front greenstone : should it be discovered there, 
 the problem of the structure would be very simply solved. The greenstone would 
 then evidently appear to be on the crown of an anticlinal, and all the phenomena 
 of the locality would oe accounted for. The Ijend of the arch would account for 
 the fissures which have given space for the secretion of the mineral veins, and the 
 sandstone of Eagle Point would be the greenstone's supj^orting rock, approaching 
 which the quantity of copper in the lode diminishes. This structure would be the 
 most favorable for the mines, as the probability would l)e, that the lode would 
 maintain its productive quality westward, with an increasing depth all the way. 
 
 "The quantity of copper ore and undressed vein stuft" above ground at the Bruce 
 Mines at the time of sampling them in the beginning of July, it will be perceived, 
 hj a roference to a table in another page, was estimated at 14T5 tons. The average 
 produce is 8.01 per cent, (equal to the average of the dressed ores of Cornwall,) 
 givino- about 118 tons of pure copper, which, allowing for the mode of assay and 
 \ wastf^in dressing, would yield upwards of 650 tons of 15.00 per cent, ore. At ±e 
 ' time of my departure, much activity prevailed in working the lodes, and an expec 
 
11

 tatioii was eiiterlaiucd by tho miuiiig captains that 25H tons of «u(;li ore might be 
 raised monthly. One hundred and sixty-three persona were employed in carrying . 
 on the operations connected with the mines, consisting of seventy-seven miners, 
 sixty-five laborers, four boys, eleven blacksmiths, carpenters and other artizans, 
 two mining captains, one engineer, two clerks, and a superintendent, constituting a 
 population, including the families of tho workmen, of about two hundred and lift} 
 
 S0Ul3." 
 
 The above sketch shows the relative position of the property of this Company 
 to that held by the Montreal Company, and the direction of one of the largest 
 veins now worked by them. . 
 
 With a property equally valuable as the Bruce, having the experience of the 
 Montreal Mining Company derived useful lessons of economy, smelting works, 
 warehouses, and Avharves, of which we can avail ourselves at a reasonable rate, and 
 the quantity and quality of ore established by their operations, which have been 
 extended to a depth of three hundred feet ; the Directors of the Huron Copper Bay 
 Co.npany have but little hesitation in recommending immediate action at Lake 
 Huron. The Company arc free from debt, and have a sufficient amount of reserved 
 stock, if sold at a fair rate, to prosecute their operations for a considerable time 
 without assessments, perhaps until the first sale of ore shall have placed us beyond 
 that necessity. If, however, those interested will glance an eye over the subjoined 
 statement of the Copper Stocks in England and the United States, they can have 
 but little hesitation in readily answering any moderate call tho Direotora may fird 
 it necessary to make npon them, to carry out the views which they have unanimouBly 
 ._.^ 4.^^ Should it, however, be deemed advisable to divide the location, there are 
 parties now in negotiation who would readily pay .$50,000 for one-half of it, but we 
 trust no such alternative will bv vour action will be presented, and doubt not thai
