This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other marginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the publisher to a library and finally to you.
Usage guidelines
Google is proud to partner with libraries to digitize public domain materials and make them widely accessible. Public domain books belong to the public and we are merely their custodians. Nevertheless, this work is expensive, so in order to keep providing this resource, we have taken steps to prevent abuse by commercial parties, including placing technical restrictions on automated querying.
We also ask that you:
+ Make non-commercial use of the files We designed Google Book Search for use by individuals, and we request that you use these files for personal, non-commercial purposes.
+ Refrain from automated querying Do not send automated queries of any sort to Google's system: If you are conducting research on machine translation, optical character recognition or other areas where access to a large amount of text is helpful, please contact us. We encourage the use of public domain materials for these purposes and may be able to help.
+ Maintain attribution The Google "watermark" you see on each file is essential for informing people about this project and helping them find additional materials through Google Book Search. Please do not remove it.
+ Keep it legal Whatever your use, remember that you are responsible for ensuring that what you are doing is legal. Do not assume that just because we believe a book is in the public domain for users in the United States, that the work is also in the public domain for users in other countries. Whether a book is still in copyright varies from country to country, and we can't offer guidance on whether any specific use of any specific book is allowed. Please do not assume that a book's appearance in Google Book Search means it can be used in any manner anywhere in the world. Copyright infringement liability can be quite severe.

GALENA, ITS TRADE, &C.
The City of Galena is situated in 42} degrees North Lati- tude, on a line with the City of Boston, Mass., and has one of the most varied and healthy locations in the United States. It lies on Galena River, which is little else here than an arm or bay of the Mississippi, and has one of the finest harbors for Steamboats on the latter river. It contained in the month. of June last, 9,629 inhabitants-the regular residents only being counted-no allowance being made for visitors and transient population, of which there are always a large num- ber. It is fully within bounds to say, that Galena contains this day, over TEN THOUSAND inhabitants. For two years past, the advance of Galena in population and wealth has been remarkably rapid, and the future promises a still more rapid increase.
It is the commercial centre of the Great Lead Mining re- gion of the Northwest; it has free access by Steamboats to all the navigable waters of the Valley of the Mississippi, above and below, and constant daily communication during the season of navigation. In a few months, Railroad com- munication will be opened with the East by means of the Illinois Central and the Galena & Chicago Union Railroad. The Chicago, St. Charles and Mississippi Air-Line Railroad, now in course of construction, terminates here; and the Great Northwestern Railroad from Galena up the Valley of the Tete des Morts to the Minnesota River and to St. Paul, is also projected, and recent events give promise of its speedy construction. The amount of business transacted here last year may be judged of by the statistics published for 1853;
