Page 49 - More recently the auriferous-arsenic ores of Temagami were made known, and lastly a discovery has been made of the series of Cobalt-Nickel Arsenides and Silver, which are unique, so far as known, on this continent, and are paralleled by deposits only in Saxony and adjacent regions of continental Europe.

Page 61 - These facts, taken in connection with the uncertain extent of the several areas, seem to render it imperative that systematic and careful prospecting should be undertaken, well in advance of regular mining.
