Very Scarce. "The object of the following pages is, to supply to the gold mining emigrant coming into Canada, as well as those already in this country, with the information necessary to enable them to conduct, with felicity and certainty, the researches and operations which are essentially necessary to a successful issue in gold mining, as well as that of other operations of a similar nature.This work is therefore expressly prepared, with its accompanying geological maps, as a manual for explorers, and is designed to supply a want now very generally felt, respecting the Madoc Gold discoveries, and the occurrence of other valuable minerals in that (comparatively) unexplored and extensive region of Laurentian rocks.". (Preface) The author was a provincial land surveyor. White also discusses nickel, silver, tourmaline, cobalt, manganese and other minerals. The discovery in 1866 by a prospector of gold in Madoc township, Hastings County, led to a substantial but short-lived gold rush. The appended advertisements in this work offer lands for sale in the Madoc gold regions, mining tools from Belleville merchants, and one by White himself seeking partners with capital to develop mineral lands in Canada East and West.
