New AND IMPORTANT ROUTE. Among
the few good bills of the late session Of
Congress, suffered To become laws, was
the one making an appropriation of lands
for the purpose of improving Fox river,
so as to open an unbroken navigable
communication between Green Bay and
the Wisconsin river. This work when
completed, will be of incslimabe atvan-
tage to Wisconsin, and scarcely less so
to the commerce and business generally
of the lakes. 1t viii soon divert from
New Orleans the trade of the Upper
Mississippi, drawing it hi'herward. 1t
will opeu 10 us the whole OF Northern
and Western VI isconsin, Iowa aud the
region on the upper Mississippi, now
settling with great rapidity. Connected
with this, is "a discovery recently made
of great importance and value. Ii has
lately been asccrtained, that bordering
on the Wisconsin river, about ten or lif-
teen miles north of Helena, is an,imony
ore of the richest quality, and in the
greatest abundance. The ore, aS we
are informed by gentleman who has
Iust returned from that region, and who
took pains TO inform himself of the facts,
is as rich as the Galena ore, and will
Weld about IS per cent. pure antimony.
1t is found Just where the broad fields OF
copper ore, stretching to the north and
west crops ont on the surface, and is as
easily raised as the lead ore.
