Comparing it with old States-it is as large as

ton OF wheat and the grasses its soil and climate
are favorable. Now, it appears to the people OF

Tor more than one hundred miles, from Pigeon
River to Fond du Lac, its northern and middle
portion will have cheap communication with all
the Lake shores, and the Atlantic, and through
the Upper Mississippi and St. Peters Rivers,
will hold easy intercourse with the whole great

Lake Superior affords abundance of good har-
bors and the Mississippi offers fine navigation up
to the Falls of st. Anthony, more than 100 miles
above the southern boundary of Minnesota.
With the exception of its western portion, 1t Is
well watered by rivers and lakes. Its lake bor-
der is rich in metalliferious deposits.
The most important points in Minnesota at pres
ent, and probably for all time to come are Fond

perior, and Fort Smelling, near the Falls of St.
