above proclamation of the President Of the United
States are 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-
facture 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 It's great purity, may be manufactured
into shot by the first smelling. ID
The location Of these mines being near the Mis-
sissippi river, affords great facilities Of trsnspora-
ton the average cost Of which to ST. Lofts is about
fifteen cents per hundred pounds. The soil is rep
resented as being unusually fertile, producng all the
small grains in great abundance, and furnishing ex-
cellent range for cattle-thus presenting equal IN
dueements to the agrculturist and the miner.
The DUBUoUE mines in fractional townships eigh-
ty-elgh eighty-nine, and ninety Of range two east
situated the banks Of the Mississippi, consd-
cred the most important; the DURANGO mines In
townships eightynins and ninety, of range one east
are the next in vsuej and the CArrEsE mines in
fractional township eighty eight Of range three east
also on the river, are the third. Other mines have
been discovered in this region; and il is very proba
BILE that future explorations will bring TO light Others
as rich and productive as any now known.

MEDICAL DEPARTMENT

The plan Of instruction in this department Of the
University, presents pecuarities, To be found in no
other school of medicine in the Union The lee
lures commence on the LIST Of October, and terminate
on the 18th of June.
Owing to the length Of the session, which en-.
braces period of nine months three professors are
enabled to perform all the duties which in other med
ical institutions are usually assigned to six; and the
students are seldom required to attend more than
two lectures on the same day. By this arrange.
ment, the students have an opportunity Of being
well grounded in Anatomy, Physiology, and other
elementary branches of medical science, before they
investigate their applications in connexion with the
study of the practice of Medicine and Surgery.
Immediately before each lecture, the students are
subjected to full and rigid examination on the pre-
cedng lecture, on portions of approved text
books. 1t is apparent that the plan, of which the
outlines have been briefly stated is one which allows
the student to commence as well to complete his
medical studies in the Institution, and presents a
happy combination of the advantages of the system
of instruction, by private puplage and that of public
lectures
Any person of approved moral conduct may offer
as a candidate, and receive the degree of M. D.,
without reference to the time he has been engaged
in the study of medicine, Of joining the school,
provided he undergoes, in satisfactory manner
the various examinations prescribed by the enact
ments. The professors are
Robert E. Rogers, M. D., Professor Of Chemis.
try, Pharmacy, and Matera Medca.
