The following account of the lead and other mineral
resources OF the Western States take from the st.
Louis Republican.
The demand for lead it is said, more than equals tho
supply notwithstanding the and extensive discover

up to the discovery OF mines in Pennsylvania Illinois
almost the only source of lead in the United States The
amount of lead shipped from Galena and other ports,
annually Is about AZ 0oo000 pounds according to thu
register kept in the city Of Galena This amount woulA
be- at - per cwt.the price there-worth $17S0 600.
Inc number OF miners actually at work does not exceed
1000 which would show average production of $500
for each man Now deduct 500 for of working and
smelling the mineral and have the large average pro-
