above proclamation Of the President Of the United
States, believed to contain the richest mines Of
lead that have yet been discovered; the ore yield
Ing about eighty per cent. of pure metal. Copper
also, has been found in this region in considerable
quantities.
Great advantages are said to exist for the manu-
faeture Of lead in various forms, particularly into
shot, the river banks being elevated TO require
little or no expense in the erection Of towers; and
the ore, from Its great purity may be manufactured
into shot by the first smelling.
The location Of these mines being near the Mis-
sissppi river affords great facilities Of ransporIa-
ton, the average cost Of which 10 ST. Louis is about
fifteen cents per hundred pounds. The soil is rep
resented being unusually fertle producing all the
small grains in great abundance, and furnishing ex-
eelent range for catte--thus presenting equal in
dueements to the agrieulturist and the miner.
The DUBUQUE mines in fractional townships eigh-
tyeght, eighty-nine and ninety, Of range two east,
situated on the banks Of the Mississippi consld-
cred the most important; the DURANGO mines IN
townships eighy-nne and ninety Of range one east,
are the next in valuei and the CArTEsE mines in
fractional township eightyeight, Of range three east,
also on the river are the third. Other mines have
been discovered in this region; and il very probs-
Die that future explorations will bring TO light others
as rich and productive as any now known.

ITO the holders Of Virginia Military

Il Land Warrants.-Congress having, by an
act approved 29th July last, extended the time for
locating continental land warrants, in the Virginia
military district, Ohio, and for returning surveys
thereon to this Office, until the first day of January
lS4s, notice is hereby given, that the holders Of
such warrants can now locate the same in the said
district.
From report made to this Office by the surveyor
of the military district in Ohio, it appears that the
quantity of land yet remaining to be located is about
$50 900 acres, lying principally in Scoto, Pike and
Adams counties.
As the time for locating, and the quantity to be
located are limited, and as Congress has made no
provision to satisfy warrants Of this character in
scrip, holders will perceive that, if the present OPP
portunity locating their warrants be lost another
may not offer. JAMES II. PIPER,
Acting Commissioner.
