lead that have yet been discoveries the 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-
acture Of lead in various forms, particularly into
shot, the river banks being elevated as 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-

small grains in great abundance, and furnishing ex-
oelent range for eatte-thus presenting equal In
dueements to the agriculturist and the miner.
The DUBUQUE mines in fractional townships eigh-
y-eight, eighty-nine and ninety, of range two east
situated the banks Of the Mississippi, are consid-
cred the most important; the DURAsGo mines IN
townships eighty -nine and ninety, of range one east

ITO the holders Of Virginia Military
l. Land Warrants.-Copgress having, by an
act approved a9th 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 ofland yet remaining to be located is about
go, 900 acres, lying principally in Scoto, Pike, and
Adams counties.
As the time for locating, and the quantity to be
located are limited, and Congress has made no
provision to satisfy warrants of this character in
scrip, holders will perceive that if the present OPP.
porurity oflocating their warrants be lost another
may not offer. JAMES II. PIPER,
