[Table of Prices at: Winnebago Rapids, Between Mouth of Wolf River and Fort Winnebago, At the Portage
Superintendence & contingencies]

This [sum[ is but a very small sum compared to the magnitude and importance of the work!

To bring the lead copper and shot by way of the lakes is an object of importance not only to Wisconsin but to all the states bordering on the lakes- and even the New England states will [come in] derive for a share of the benefits in the diminished prices which they will have to pay for these necessary articles. Will they not, then, assist us in accomplishing this very desirable object?
