learn that the lead mines of that (Cole) coun.
ty, and the adjoining county Of Miller, are
enlisting a considerable share Of attention
many discoveries have been made, and those
engaged in digging for mineral, ale said to be
prosecuting their Iabors with great success,
and advancing their fortunes rapidly. A
considerable proportion OF the land in that
quarter has already been purchased. and from
the stir which is made-it is thought that the
period is not distant when not a foot of Gov
eminent land will remain, in all the mineral
region, "round about;'' which on account Of
the sterility Of soil, has hitherto been looked
upon as worthless. The Jeffersonian Re.
