locating continental land warrants, in the Virginia
military district, Ohio, and for returning surveys
thereon to this Office, until the first day of January,

lead that have yet been discoyeredi 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 10 exist for the manu-
acture 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 It's great purify may be manufactured
into shot by the first smelling. . ..
The location of these mines being near the Mis-
slsslppi river, affords great facilities Of ransporta-
ton, the average cost Of which to ST. Louis is about
fheen cents per hundred pounds. The soil is rep
resented as being unusually ferle producing all the
small grains in great abundance, and furnishing ex-
csent range for eatte--thus presenting equal in
dueements TO the agrieulturist and the miher

been discovered in this region and il is very pr0ba-
be that future explorations will bring To light others
