GREAT SALE OF LEAD DIGGINGS
We understand that a sale is about perfected of the famous Karrick Diggings a 
short distance from the city, parties from abroad now being in town who are 
negotiating the sale. It includes the mineral lands adjacent of James Levi and 
George W. Starr, as well as the interest of General Jones. It is the intention 
of the parties purchasing, if the sale is perfected, to prosecute the pricing 
with energy and activity; they have a large amount of capital and will bring 
in enough to make a success of all they undertake. It is certainly one of the 
most important things for Dubuque that has transpired for some time. The value 
of the property transferred is from $80,000 to $100,000. B. C. Saeltzer of 
Fort Dodge in connection with New York men, is the purchasing party.
