Extract

The island of New Caledonia, from which these ores of nickel and cobalt are derived, is situated in the South Pacific Ocean, distant about 600 miles east from Queensland, Australia. The island is about 200 miles long by about 30 miles broad, and is extremely mountainous. New Caledonia belongs to the French, and it is there that they have established one of their principal penal settlements.
