WISCONSIN, State of. An act was passed
at the last session of Congress providing for the
admission of Wisconsin into the Union as a
sovereign state, with the following bounda.
ries-Beginning at the north-east corner of
the state of Illinois-that is to say, at a point
in the centre of Lake Michigan where the line
of 429 30′ x Lat. crosses the same; thence,
running with the boundary line of the state
of Michigan, through Lake Michigan, Green
Bay, to the mouth of the Menomonie river;
thence up the channel of said river to the
Brule river; thence up said last mentioned
river to Lake Brulé; thence along the south-
ern shore of Lake Brule in a direct line to the
centre of the channel between Middle and
South islands, in the Lake of the Desert;
thence in a direct line to the head waters of
the Montreal river, as marked upon the survey
made by Captain Cramm; thence down the
main channel of the Montreal river to the
middle of Lake Superior; thence through the
centre of Lake Superior to the mouth of the
St. Louis river; thence up the main channel
of said river to the first rapids in the same,
above the Indian village, according to Nicol-
let's map; thence due south to the main
branch of the river St. Croix; thence down
the main channel of said river to the Missis-
sippi; thence down the centre of the main
channel of that river to the north-west cor-
ner of the state of Illinois; thence due east
with the northern boundary of the state of
Illinois to the place of beginning.

Wisconsin comprises a portion of a rich
mineral region which extends into Illinois
and Iowa. Lead ore is abundant; copper
occurs in considerable quantities. Antimony
is said to have been recently discovered in
great abundance, near Helena, in Buchanan
county.
