Mr.. EDITOR Our streets are daily
thronged with emigrants with their cattle,
sheep, hogs, ETC., ETC., bound for g Kan
sas, or Minnesota" Now from a recent
tour through the latter of these territories,
and from conversation with several per-
sons from both, | ain convinced that many
Of them " are going far to do worse. :
| believe that all things considered, man
Sc eking for home can do at least fifty
per cent better by purchasing IN Iowa,
Grant and Lafayette counties, than any,
where West, within 800 miles. Ia the
first place, the lands in these counties are
richer; take the counties together, the
water better, and more of It capable Of
cultivation than further West. Again, it
can be purchased cheaper. Claims in
Minnesota are held higher to-day than
good farm land in Iowa county; YOU can
buy coed unimproved land within five
miles Of Mineral Point for 6 to 10 dollars
per acre, lands unsurpassed for richness.
- Gil OtAICI tJL1LC- 1NOhF ESIltuIC TIE
assertion that you cannot find town in
all Minnesota, of the size of Mineral
Point, and with the facilities Of market
like Mineral Point, where lands can be
had for twice that sum. The truth is, all
lands and everything else ARE held al spec
ulative prices. Around St. Paul and St.
Anthany, farm lands are held at so to
200 dollars per acre, and back from those
little towns on the River, from 20 to so
dollars per acre, and these unimproved at
