The Township of Marmora is situated in the North Riding, and is bounded on the north by Lake, on the east by Madoc, on the south by Rawdon, and on the west by Belmont in the County of Northumberland. This Township attracted early attention from the immense deposits of [ron Ore found within its borders. Works were established on a large scale by Mr. Hays, who had been accustomed to manage a similar business in the King's Dockyards in England. A large amount of money was expended, but little or no judgment was exercised. The roads to market were in nearly an impassable condition, which together with bad management, brought ruin to the parties who had undertaken to work the mines. The same mismanagement continued in successive undertakings ; but there is no doubt, with judicious and economical management these beds of Iron Ore may be worked permanently, profitably, and of great advantage to the public generally. Specimens of manufactured Iron from these mines, which were sent to the London and Paris World's Exhibitions were pronounced by the Judges to be of the finest quality, and for which diplomas were given. It only requires men who understand the working of the mines, who have the capital, the energy, the enterprise and the proper judgment, to make them remunerative. There are some good lands in this Township, and they are chiefly in the occupation of those who may be regarded as thrifty and well-to-do farmers. Marble can be obtained in any quantity in this Township, and of an excellent quality. There are many kinds of marble from the pure white to the green veined, and black with yellow veins ; grey and red, and in fact, almost every shade of marble that can be mentioned There are also large and extensive beds of Lithographic Stone, which if properly worked, would prove very valuable. The Township abounds in mineral wealth, and no place in Canada presents a better field for the enterprising capitalist. The population of Marmora in 1839 was 369 ; it is now about 1,130. Its statistics are : 1859 1850 1839 7211 6424 7852 Uncultivated Lands, 1980 1661 1098 Cultivated, 161 15 9 Houses, 1 1 1 Grist Mills, 1 1 1 Saw Mills, 4 2 0 Shops, v 102 73 Horses, 34 190 128 Oxen, 68 361 243 Cows, Ill TOWNSHIP COUNCIL, 1860.--Hugh Jones, Reeve ; Solomon Johns, Richard Campion, Laughlin Hughes, jr., and James Hamilton.
