There are about IS acres Of land, half of it

ing house of brick, two stories high, is not
surpassed in the materials of its construc-
ton by any house in Iowa. There are two
excellent wells, a great variety of fruit
tees. several out buildings, &c. But the
location gives it the chief value, being d.
rectly on the ridge of the Des Moines, any
rail road or other road along said ridge
must pass over it. Terms reasonable.

TO THE PUBLIC.

T
The tracts embraced in the above proclamation
of the President comprise all the residue of the
lead mines yet to be brought into market south
of the Wisconsin river. They cover those mines
(particularly the portion situated in Illinois work
ed under former leases from the Government which
had expired at the date of the sale of the ada
cent mines, and therefore possess the advantage of
being prepared for immediate operations, without
mourning the increased expenses incidental to
opening new mines, and most of them are believed
to be very productive. They are all more or less
conveniently situated in reference to the navgabe
rivers and other cheap means of transportation OF
their products to ST. Louis, and are in the midst of
a country yielding abundantly all the agricultural
products of the latitude in which they are located.
