TATE DEs MoETE AND MINNESOTA AIR LINE
R. Ron Monday last, in company with Geo
W. Waite, Chief Engineer of the Illinois and
Iowa Air Line r. r.. and large number of the
citizens of Galena, we visited the valley ofTatc
DIES Mortc, and went over portion of the line
of the contemplated sTate DIES Mortc and Min
nesota Air Line II. r.
This road will commence at the north of the
Tate DIES Mortc Creek where it emptics into the
Mississippi, about three miles west of Galena.
and follow up the valley of that creek. which
| nature has prepared expressly for a railroad
The grade in getting out of the valley of the
Mississippi will not exceed twenty-five feet to
the mile. The work will be very light all the
way out of the valley. After going on the ta-
bic lands about twelve miles from the river the
country appears as any part of Illinois, and is
as densely settled. The road is to run in a
northwcsterly direction towards the St Peters
River and will open direct communication
from Galena to Minnesota. This road will con-
meet with the St Charles Air Line at Galcna.

LAKE SUPERIOR Iron WORKMANSHIP reference
TO the iron mountains, the Lake Superior Jour-
maj says they are scarcely to be estimated
mere Is iron enough, it says, and that of the
BEST quality, to supply the wants of the entire
country ior centuries to come, and the wonder
ful deposits of this metal are beautifully situat
cd in a wooded country in the midst Of n rich
SOIL. with splendid streams, waterfalls and lakes
and all OF these lands have been bought within
half a dozen years, at the Government price, or
ten shlllings per acre; now their value cannot
be estimated.
1t is an on dit in our village that a COMPANY
of individuals from Maine are now in the Ter
ritOry with the view of getting possession of
our pineries. They are said to be flush of funds
and desire an exclusive monopoly ofthese lands.
Should this be a fact, and the red shirts get on
their trail, if they don't fly from our precincts
like buck before the hounds, we are no Judge
