I/U #89 to Philips 10 shares 1847. Signed by President Rice. "Previous to 1846 the War Department issued warrants leasing mineral lands at a royalty, and a great number of such warrants were taken out.

President Martin Van Buren was interested in this enterprise. The first attempts at mining in this district were made to supply ore for the Catalan forges erected near the mines and also in Marquette, the expense of shipment and the portage at Sault Ste. Marie preventing any but trial-lots of ore being sent away. Considerable iron was made at these forges, but always at a loss to those concerned." from http://www.maritimehistoryofthegreatlakes.ca.
