The lands embraced by the above proclamation of the
President of The United States contain many of the
valuable lead mines actually opened and worked which
have yet been discovered and from indications the
face and experiments made in digging, it is believed that
many others equally valuable exist and may be explored

From the great number of these mines, would be inn
practicable give adequate idea of their character and
location without extending this notice beyond proper
bounds sufficient that they situated in the
section of county bounded the south by the Illinois State

line drawn nearly parallel the south side of the Wis
consin rivers at the average distance OF twelve miles

through the of Sugar Creek, the whole district
covering surface equal to about sixty full townships All
necessary facilities io transporting the products
and their tributaries, the Blue, Grant, Platte Pekatonka

The above district explored by Dr. Owen the geolo
