Dubuque, March 2s.-There is a de-
cded good feel Ing in the lead mining
districts of this vicinity. After years
of idleness, miners are commencing to
drill into the earth to find the treasures
of lead, which gave this vicinity its
name and attracted the French settlers
in the early days.
The Dubuque mines once yielded tons
of mineral but of late years they We're
not worked and the mining business
was decidedly slack. The shafts about
Dubuque are many and the hills are
adorned with them from end to end.
On Kellys Hill the place where the
fortune of the old miser Tom Kelly, is
thought to lay hidden after years of
ceaseless search on the part of relativ
es, the shafts We're worked of late and
large amount of mineral taken out.
On the outskirts of the city the min
ing business is picking up. Farmers
reports are current that much mineral
is in sight. III southern Wisconsin the
mining fever succeeded in renewing it's
old hold on the Old settlers and the
younger generation and the result is
that the mines are steadily becoming
scenes OF activity and energy. The be-
lief of the early settlers was that the
vein Of mineral reaches thru Wiscon-
sin, then thrlout the northern part of
Illinois, thru Galena, the lead mine city,
and underneath the flowing water of
the Mississippi river to Dubuque and
the neighboring Vicinity.
The same grade of mineral is found
on the Wisconsin and Illinois side of
the river as on the Iowa shore. The be-
lief of the winding of the vein under
the Mississippi is still current.
The end of the mining operations had
its effect on the towns about Dubuque,
which once showed tendency to grow
and take their places among the cities
of the west. That was back in the early
forties when the movement towards the
west was in vogue. The city of Galena
