| TO THE PUBLIC.
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 not expired at the date Of the sale of the
cent mines, and therefore possess the advantage of
being prepared for immediate operations, without
incurrng 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 navigable
rivers and other cheap of transportation OF
their products to St. Louis and in the midst Of
a country yielding abundantly all the agricultural
products Of the latitude in which they are located
