The town of Bathurst, New Brunswick - from a photograph by E. J. Russell, of Bathurst, 1860. 'The town is situated on the south side of the Bay Chaleur, at the head of a basin formed by the confluence of the Grand Nipisiguit, Middle Nipisiguit, and Totagouche Rivers. Its exports are lumber and fish; the chief establishment of the former is that of Messrs. Ferguson, Rankin, and Co., who ship immense quantities of timber and deals to the British and other markets. Their saw-mill is considered the largest and best arranged in the province. Of the latter Messrs. Levy and Samuel, and Messrs. Underwood and Co. (Boston), export annually upwards of 90,000 cases of preserved salmon. These firms employ numbers of the French settlers of the coast in the catch of this fine fish'. From "Illustrated London News", 1860.
