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 iliinois) work
ed under former leases from the Government which
had not expired at the date of the sale of the ada
cent mines, and therefore possess the advantage of
being prepared for immediate operations, without
incurring the increased expenses incidental TO
opening new mines, and most of them are believed
| to be very productive They are all more lees
conveniently situated in reference to the navigabic
rivers and other cheap means 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
