NOTICE TO MINERS AND PRE-EMPTION
CLAIM ANTS.
All persons who were, at the passage of the act
of Ist March, 1847, in possession, by actual occu
pancy, of any portion of the mineral lands embraced
in this proclamation, under authority of a lease or
written permit from the Secretary of War, for the
purpose of mining thereon, and all persons who
shall be in possession, by actual occupancy, of a
mine or mines actually discovered before the Ist of
March, 1847, as set forth in the act of let March,
1847, above mentioned, are authorized to enter and
purchase the same at the price, on the terms and
conditions - , and to the extent prescribed by that
act, and no less, at any time before the day fixed
for the commencement of the sale of those mineral
lands, on making proof of possession and occu
pancy, and of compliance with those terms, to the
register and receiver of the land office, subject to
an appeal to the Secretary of the Treasury; and all
persons entitled to the right of pre-emption to any
of the agricultural lands - embraced in this procla
mation, are required to establish the same to the
satisfaction of the register and receiver, and make
paynient.therefore as soon as practicable after seeing
this notice, and before the day appointed for the
commencement of the public sale of the lands em
bracing the tract claimed, otherwise such pre-emp
tion claim will be forfeited.
The certificate of the mineral agent at Sault Ste.
Marie, that persons holding under leases or permits,
or those in the occupancy of a mine or mines, have
paid up the per centum of rents required by the
act above mentioned, will be conclusive on that
point.
Persons occupying under leases or permits, will
not be permitted to relinquish their rights under
that .occupancy, and enter as settlers; and where
any such leases or permits may . expire before the
day of sale, the rights granted to the holders thereof
will be regarded- as reserving the lands covered
thereby from entry under any other right till the
day of sale, when they will be -offered at public
sale as mineral lands.
RICHARD M. YOUNG, Commissioner
The " mineral lands" included in the fosegoing
proclamation are chiefly situated between Lake
Superior and Montreal River, and on Isle Royale,
in the northern peninsula of Michigan, and are
rendered-immensely valuable by the exhaustless
mines of copper and other ores found therein.
A considerable number of those
. tnines have
already been discovered in the trap ranges, within
a few miles of Lake Superior; and from thel geo
logical character of the country, and the explora
tions already made, it cannot be doubted that others
equally, if not more valuable, will be found through
out this whole "mineral region."
In some of the mines now worked, copper
found almost pure; and, in fact, most of the native
copper and ores yield a greater per tentage than
any other yet discovered in the world. Silver is
also found in considerable quantities.
All the necessary materials for the construction
of furnaces, and fuel of smelting, are found in
abundance in the immediate neighborhood of the
mineral.
The climate in winter, though cold, does not in
terrupt the operations f the miners; in fact, that
season is considered the most favorable for their
operations.
The proximity of these mineral lands to the shore
of Lake Superior, on which are several safe and
excellent harbors, and the water communication
therefrom, by the Sault Ste. Marie, Lakes Huron
Erie, &c., furnish ready means of transporting th
products of these lands to the principal markets of
the-United States at a very trifling cost.
It likewise appears from the reports to this office,
that the agricultural lands are of a fair quality, pro
ducing the usual culinary vegetables and grass in
abundance, and,' when properly tilled, they have
been found favorable for grain crops also; and for
all these proclaim, a fair price and good market
will be 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 evidence
of the richness of the Soil.
Maps; showing the localities of the mines and
other valuable information relating thereto, de
rived from the geological survey, &c., which can
not be' embraced in this brief notice, will be pre
: pared and deposited in the land office at the Sault
Ste. Marie, for inspection, as early as practicable,
before the commencement of the public sales.

TO THE PUBLIC
The lands embraced in the above proclamation
are located principally on and adjacent to the Mis
sissippi and St. Croix Rivers. Those designated
as mineral are extremely valuable ; because iu ad
dition to the copper and other ores found in them,
they are well watered, and have ready access to
market, either to th South, by the Mississippi
river, or to the East, Sy the way of the lakes, and
the several lines of communication that connect
therewith.
Valuable timber and all other necessary requi
sites for building and smelting, are found in great
abundance, and of the finest quality. The climate
is healthy and pleasant—the cold being rarely more
intense than in the northern part of New 'York—
and many of the lands are exceedingly fertile, pro
ducing all the grains and vegetables that can be
raised in Massachusetts or northern New York.
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 St. Croix for inspec
tion as early as practicable before the commence

Nothing
A ?PEARS at first sight so insurmountable ebar
1-1, rier to the intercourse of nations as the ocean
—but Science has converted it into the most ex
peditious means by which they may supply their
mutual wants. Nothing is so violent as steam, or
so destructive as fire—yet art bas made them sub
servient to the necessities, the comforts, and even
the elegancies of life. What so hard, so cold, and
so insensible as Marble yet the Sculptor can
warm it into life and bid it express the tenderest
emotions. How variable is color how swift is
light? and how empty is shade t—but the pencil of
a Raphael can give these fleeting things both a body
and a soul, and can confer upon them an imperish
able vigor,—a beauty that increases with age, and
which must continue to captivate generations.
How is it that Erben, at the'Sign of the Striped
Coat can have his Clothing made and trimmed so
much better than the other Lancaster tailors and
yet sell far cheaper than the rest of the trade! His
clothing never rips, it is made of good material,
and the fit of his garments can't be excelled, and
the price this Spring is almost nothing. How can
he afford to sell so low, how does he do it 1 - These
are questions often asked, and no doubt it seems
wonderful, especially to the high price tailors,—
but, impossible as it may appear, he has neverthe
less succeeded in producing good Clothing cheaper
than ever before known in Lancaster, in fact quite
a revolution in prices; and so it should be. The
public good demands still father reform. No
more dull plodding in the beaten track. This is
an age of progress. Innovation is the order of the
day, and the subscriber believing that the Art of
Clothing the htiman form was yet in its infancy
and susceptible of great improvement, has devoted
his entire energies to its perfection with a view to
the reduction of prices, so as to bring a fine suit of
Clothes within the reach of all, and can confident
ly recommend the "SIGN OF THE STRIPED
COAT" as the cheapest Clothing Store in the
World.

Extra," &c., which tire nothing hut deceptain and Mts./mit.
Ist. He sari, - I have sold the use of my name !or $7
week. If Mr. 8. 1%. Townsend will bring one single, solitary
proof of this. I will give hum $5OO. I rosily never could see
the benelit of tol.g smelt falsehoods—they.
always stain the remotion of-the who i , injudicwits
as to be guilty of them. Ile says aim) that hendeavored to
secure the services of Mr. AVatrous :Cad others, to ma up Dr.
Townsend's Sarsaparilla;" (meaning his;) but he " scorned
such a proposition." Now this is all false. I never applied. to
Mn. Watrous in my life, though he was introduced to me by a
friend of his, without soliciuttion, or with any knowledge that
such a moo was in existence.
• . .
2d. lie says that my Sarsaparilla is not "Original," etc.
B. P. Townsend knows better than this, as I have frequently
stated to him, mud the Public, that I discovered my medicine
more than 90 years ago, which was
Before S. P. Townsend was born !
This fact alone is enough to satisfy the that S. P.
Townsend's statements are false, and not to be trusted- If he
wilt faidify In one thing he will in another.
3d. Ile says he has attended two of the best medical schools
In the country, and "practiced medicine for the last tilteen
years !I" I stated this to souse of his acquaintances in New
York, and l thought they would split their sides with laugh
ter. "Why," said they, "he never practiced fifteen minutes
In his life !! Besides he has spent years of his life as a worker
on railroads, canals, and the like; and, of course, could have
no other practice but with the pick-axe and shovel, and such
employment as all railroad operators have, either as a day
laborer or contractor." So tar us lam acquainted.with this
young man, I should judge hint to be a very illiterate. un
scientific MEM, unacquainted with Chemistry, .inatomy, Thera
peutics, or the Atateria Medico, and therefore Incapable of un
derstanding the nature and cause of disease. No money would
induce me to be instrumental in painting off upon_ the public an
article like S. P. Townsend's. I ant also satisfied that no sick
person will ever call for S. P. Townsefid's if they have used
It once, and then used a bottle of mine. There is not a pre
paration of Sarsaparilla in till this country, which is so pure,
so powerful, or so reliable In all states and .stages of sickness
and disease, as toy Sarsaparilla. Great and Good bursts !emu
every man's lips who has once had the fortune to Ilse it.
4th. I will here again make S. P. Townsend another %Min::
to submit the two Sarsaparillas to the Extuninallon of seven
able Physicians, to be tested on such diseases as Scrofula, Salt
Rheum, Rheumatism, Ferer Sures, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore
Eyes, Piles, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint, Censumption, all
Female Comp/aims, as well as diseases common among child
ren; and if it Is not broadly mud emphatically demonstrated
that my Sarsaparilla will cure, at least, ten cases to lies one,
I will liateit and pay to any charitable institution ,3500.! - But,"
if It Is shown that mine will cure len to his one, then S. P, shall
pay the like sum of $3OO, in like manner. I will give 1s to
one-year to make up his mind, though l ant confident he trill
never go Into the trial, as he shamefully backed out at D. similar
one only a few months ago. 'The truth is, my Original Sarsa
parilla is so much better than his, and is gaining so rapidly on
the public, that he is becoming alarmed, and resorts to the
shameful and wicked course of traducing, falsifying, and
abusing me, in low, vulgar language, although l never laid
a straw in his way, or lilted a linger to his injury in toy life.
I therefore leave this whole matter with the public, and let
them decide on whose back should be pinned, "Tricks of a
