After a number of attempts Hearne accepted theoffer of an Indian chief to"guide the white man to the `far-off inetal'." The trip was successful, the outcrop- pings 'of copper Were found, and Hearne named the 'river on -whose banks the discovery was made " the Coppermine. The river is situated in the: Mackenzie district of the North. - 'west orthWest` Territories and flows into Cor- onation.

The Scientific ,American, in reviewing a number of reports on the urea, compares `it with the Lake Superior copper region. At Corona- tion Gulf the, copper -bearing belt is said; to be • <0 elle and of: un- known length, while at Bathurst Inlet, anarmof Coronation Gulf, the area is said to be 50 miles long with a maximum, width of 25 miles. "Taken altogether," says the Scientific Am- erican, "the: indications are favorable for the existence of high grade mines as well as larger low-grade deposits In this region. We have, therefore, it is probable,, a region 'comparable, let us say, to the Lake Superior cop. per region, on the Arctic shores." Speaking of the possibilities of min- ing enterprises in-ing-enterprises in the northern field, the late Dr. James Douglas,'who head- ed an expedition in 1911 to investigate the copper deposits, at, the meeting of the Canadian Mining Institute in 1313, "One has to recollect that for -mttny years the Ifeweenaw promontory. of Michigan was out off from all corn- munication with the market e'tcept 'during the .comparatively few months of open navigation; that supplies, of fuel- and merchandise were conveyed by water to the mines :before naviga- 'tion.,elosed, andthat the copper cumulated on the penihsula until navi- gation' opened the following • spring, The open ahason was of course longer than it would be in the Arctic Ocean; 't and the climtite of the Arctic is more an }n Michigan the tli' severe than an g , t erniom- : .
