GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
Under the law Of last winter, have
kept Captain John Murrlsh employed
during portion of the season in making
IL geological reconnaissance or some pOr.
ti"ns OF the State. With the means placed
ut my disposal, little could be done tx
cep! to look over the surface aud cali at
t5nti0n to favorable mineral Indications,
and awaken an interest among the people
to seek for themselves.
am glad TO say that he has made many
interest mas been excited in different To-
calitics oveI them HIS services have been
OF value, especially SO III awakening an
interest in the public mind in regard to
the hidden wealth Of The state. Of iron
ores. no state has more, or ni greater va l.
ETY.; and our ores ut zinc, III the west part.
0t tue state, are very rich and absolutely
in"xhanstible. Llrge amounts of the ore
are mlncd and sent To La Sale and Peru,
| IN illinois, to he converted into speitrr
and oxide Of zinc, lit great profit to the
manufacturer. 1t is hoped that the day
Is not distant when these ores may be re.
dured WI hin he limits Of the sta e.
! The production of lead ore continues
to command much attentnp IN tne coun
ties OF Grant, Iowa and La Fayette, AND
some large "leais are being wrought II
great profit.
Lead III large quantities is believed by
| geOlOgiSts, who have examined the lead
regi0ns,to exist far below any depth here
toiure explored, and below the reacI OF
nrivate enterprise. The propriety OF an
expenditure on the part of the state to
test that question will, no doubt, be fairly
considered by you With II view to as
certain the character OF the unexplOrtd
part of our state, [ recOm,nct q that pro
vision he made Tor thorough exp ora

olCgist.
RAILROADS.
