Near to the antinu)ny mine and the property of this Company, on the run of the vein, is the very rich and remarkable Garthby Copper Mine, which [)roduce8 a solid ore of rare and exceeding richness. On the other side of the Company's property there has been worked a mine for chromic iron, which, while it was in operation, was highly remunera- tive. These different ores, occurring in the region of the Company's property, must convince 6very one of the great concentration of mineral wealth on the property acquired by the Company, which is now being developed. ,, . , ♦ ■ GOLD. Since the commencement of the organization of this Com- pany, an assay of some portion of the rock of the vein has been made, and found to coutain one oz. nine divts. of pure . gold to the ton of rock, surpassing the average yield of the rich quartz veins of Nova Scotia. , .^ H illK I'lMU'KltrV.

This ujine is situated about three-fourths of a mih' from Nicolet Lak(!, on lot 20 in the 1st and 2d range of Soutli Ham, Canada East.

The (Exposure of the cupeiiferouy rock is at the base of a high and mural-faced ledge of indurated talcose scln'st, which overlies, or i'oniis the •* lianging-waH" of the vein. This ledge has an extent of im>re than ten rods in length, and in places presents a ftce, nearly or quite perpendicular, thirty feet in height. The striki^ of the rock, which eoiresponds with the tace of tlu; ledge, is north sixty deg. enst, with a southeasteily di}). A deep valley, extending the entire length of tlie ledge, and i)arallel with it, is found a few rods northwest of the out- crop of ore, by which there is afforded an excellent opportu- nity for driving in a horizontal adit, shoiild indications of cop- j)er at this placi? wariant an undertaking of that kind. The co])])er-bearing rock U(»\v (^x])osed has a thickness of two to four feet, in which there is disseminated, (]uite unifbrndy, the yellow and purple svdphurets of copptM-. We also saw tracer c; • '%. i * t of tlie red variety, known among iiiinerH, as tlie " liorse-Hesh ore." We noticed that the ore was disseminated in a granw- ular form, thougli tlie entire vein-stone, instead of being found in laminated or concr-^tionary patches, of uncertain ex- tent. Should the loose rock^and earth be remove<] along the line of the vein, and copper he found the entire extent of the ledge", possessing the richness of the specimens already found, we should be inclined to place the " surface indications " pre- sented at this niine equal, if not superior, to any which we saw in this part of Canada. Respectfully yours, ALBERT 1>. HAGEK. REPORT OF CHARLES ROBB, MINING E N «* 1 \ K K K V .03 Sr. Fi{A\coi.s Xavuk St., ' AfoXTRKAL, lOlh Di-cember, 1S62. > Willis Russell, Esq., Quehkc. . Dear Sir: On the 2d inst. I visited and surveyed yoar property in South Ham, on which copper ore has been found ; and now beg to submit the following Report thereon, together with a map, showing the position (rf the lots, and of some of the copper veins thereon. The property consists of Lota 25, 26, and 27 in tlie two ranges south of Gosford Road, South Ham, comprising, in all, 327 acres, and is closely contiguous to your antimony mining property, on which I had, on a previous occasion, the honor of submitting a report. The property is underlaid by chloritic and epidotic slates, irregularly interstratified with bands of feldspathic and horn- blendic rocks, forming a species of diorite, in which probably - calcarous matter is also intermixed. At some y)laces the 10 hornblende njck con.slitulos u pure diulliige. These rorka, by tlieir superior })»".' ;>h, having resisted denudation, rise, iibove the p'neral le^' > in tlie form of blulfs and cliffs, and at their junction with the slatr'S carry copper ores in quan- tity wliicli seenjs to be siiHif;ient lor mining purposes. Tlie property is surroun«, and through- out it the yellow su]{ihiiret of copper occurs in such propor- tion as Would probably pay for woi'king, even if no improve- ment were to take place in sinking. A shaft or pit has been sunk upon this vein, to the depth of ten feet, showing the head-wall dipping N. W., at an angle of forty deg., and the tbot-wall (slate) in the same direction, at an angle of fifty (h^g. ; thus indicating that the vein increases in thickness, in sinking, while the ([uantity and (piality of the ore evidently under- goes a corresponding inq)rovement, being well distributed thronga the body of the rock, and associated with magnetic pyrites, which, on wiuking dee[)er, will ]>robably be replaced by co])per. The strike or direction |iif this vein is X. sixty- five deg. H. At the distance of about 1,50 feet to the west of the pit, on the course of this vein, another ore-bearing vein or bed joins the former, bearing North 4")'' East, thus forming an angle of 20° with the iiist. Whether tliis it* simply a deflection of the ,yf- i f -* \ H principal nietaliierous bed, or the inters-tction ot'anotlier vein, it must bo reganied as a higldy important and tavorablo fea- ture ; and towards tliin point of juncture a rich deposit of copper ore mav reasonably be expected. At the point (;, where a pure diallago rock occurs, the pres-- ence of copper on; in cdiisiderable (piantity is indicated by much green carbonate on tlie surtiu'e, and on working into it the rock is found to contain copper ore dissc^niinated in line particles all through it, and occasionally to yiehl ri(di masses. But so little work has been done here, that it is imp(.)ssi}tle to determine the extent or value of the deposit. At several other points on the property, gO(jd indications of copper are found, and althougli the nature and extent of the deposits have yet to be discovered, there can be no doubt that this property presents a highly promising field for mining adventure, and is well worthy of further development. It is well supplied with wood of the kind required for mining purposes, and is traversed by means of water affording at all seasons an ample supply for washing ores. Though the dis- tance to the railway is considerable rJ4 miles), the cost of teaming and of labor of all sorts is remarkably low. The total cost for transportation of the ores to Boston or New York will not exceed ten dollars per ton. I a in, Dear Sir, Yours, very sincerely, {'II. MILKS IU)IUJ, Mining Enr/ineer. 4 : ! i II I 12 rf:im)rts of i'hof. v. u. hitchcock, OKOLOGIST TO THK 8TATK OF MAINK. ^ ' Willis Husskll, Es^., Dear Sir : At your request I have visited and examined the bed of c<»[>per ore in Lot No. 20, Ranges 1 and 2, in iSouth Ham, Canada East, and tlie following is tlie result of my ex- amination : — The roek cai'rying the' ore is a gray sih'ceous dolomite, checked with nunnjrous segregated veins of quartz. It is a member of tlie Quebec group of the lower silurian system, and is the roek most (,'omnionly carrying cui)[)er in the Prov- ince. The copper ore is the yellow sulphuret, disseminated more or less abundantly throngh seven feet of thickness of strata, hav- ing the course of north (U)'^ East. The bed is situated at the base of a liigh bluff, and has been traced a distance of half a mile. A very prominent seam is displayed Jiear the base of the bluir which a])pears to be the hanging v all. The ore may l)e 'Ibllowed through the whole distance of seven feet, occasionally appearing richi^rr along minor veins or irregular lines. The bed dips abor.c 50° south 30° east. Very little \\T)rk has yet been accomplished, and the full develop- ment ol the extent and richness of the bed remains to be ])roved. 'flic locality is 24- miles from Arthabaska Station, on the Quebe(.' Uranch of the Grand 'IVunk Railway, and hence the ores will need to be crushed and concentrated before • thev are 4/ transport(Ml to a distance. It is not a great distance to a stream of water which, for the greater portion of the year, will yield sufficient ])ower for this purpose. A steam-mill would appear to mc to be better adapted to the purpose, since fuel is remarkably cheap in the neighborhood. The gradual descent of the surface to the northwest will allurd ;i considerable facility for drainage, while the necessary water for the washing ol" the ores is abundant. The freight of this ore would be from $3.00 to $6.00 per I' I I •f. .. i 13 ton to Artluil)rtska, and t'runi tlience to Boston an additional $'>.(>(). \i trans[)()rtt'd to the Lennoxviilo Smelting Works the railway (^harjies wuuhl ho greatly (limiiiishcd, and thus the profits he increased. Wood costs from tliirty to fifty cents per cord in the vicin- ity, wliile laborers can be hired for sixty and eight} cents per diem. The concluision readily derived from an inspection of the bed, and the amount of work done upon it, is that the appear- atices indicate the presence of a valuable bed of cupriferous rock — certaiidy sufficient to authorize you to go on with the development of the property by means of a shaft and coateans. With sincere respect, Your obedient servant, C. II. fllTCHCOCK, Geoloijkt to the State of Maine. Quebec, Canada East, Oct. 31st, 18f)3. W. A. RussKLL, Esq., Dear Sir: At your request 1 have paid another visit to the bed of copper ore u])on Lot No. 26, in South Ham, Canada East. It will not be necessary for me to repeat what 1 have here- tofore said in a letter to Willis Russell, Esq., respecting the ap})earance of the ore at the surface. I will only state the diiferences manifested at my second visit. Much of the rock appears very much like serpentine ; and it may pass into it occasionally, — particularly so since it lies by its side. The rock has been opened to the depth of fifteen feet from • the surface, and very plain foot and hanging walls are dis- played. At the top of the opening, the full ten feet thick- ness canning the ore can be clearly seen. Part way down the rock is " hungry," as the miners say, or not so tiilly charged wi;h ore as it is above. But in the bottom the ore shows itself again abundantly. Immediately adjacent to the foot-wail, are nearly two feet thickness of loose schists aseocia- 14 •VK^v.j iii ^^11 tod vvitli (h'fompoHod slato.s ;iii'l ^^ossaii, ull of wliidi carries cuppor.

I have had enongli experience in exaaiining beds of cop[)er ore fiituated geologically like your property, to be satisfied that von Avill find the ore to varv considerablv in (piantitv at ditVeront levels. At one time it will be very Inmgry, and then witliin a few feet it wjll expand (enormously, and be very rich. The indications are such as to make me advise you to ex- pend consideralde more labor in developing the bed. Before any of the ore can be transported to the market it shoidd be crushed and sorted up to seven or eight per cent, of metallic copper, at least, in order that no unnecessary gangue work be carried over the road to the station. ' Very respectfully. Your obd't oorv't, C. H. HITCHCOCK. ■*4 : m- 16 BoYi.STON Street, Boston, 22(J March, 1864. Willis Russell, Esq., Dear Sir : Your ore has been assayed for gold. It was found that the gold was connected with the copper ore, hence some of the rock was dressed off, and then the amount of ore was smaller than would be the case in large operations. One ton of ore yielded, one ounce nine pennyweights of pure gold. Truly yours, A. A. HAYES. No. l.Vi.J HILL. il»fi4. ■r * \ • An Act to incorporate the South Ham Copper Min- ing Conipanij.
