Stanton — The Lead Region of Wisconsin.

Table I. — Population per square mile. 



Group III has the least density except in Grant County, when 

 in 1875 Group I falls below it. The density of the population 

 in the towns of l^ew Diggings and Benton is very striking. ' In 

 Platteville, the population of the village has been omitted in the 

 table just given. It is very clear that the density of the popula- 

 tion is greater in Groups I and II than in Group III but it is 

 equally evident that the increase in population is always to be 

 found in the last named group. 



It now remains to determine what variations can be discovered 

 in the property valuations per capita and the per capita of pro- 

 duction for these three groups. The accompanying table shows 

 the value of farm lands and live stock and of farm implements 

 per capita. 



1 PlatteviUe. 



* Jamestown, Hazel Green, Potosi, Smelzer, Harrison, PlatteviUe and Paris. Platte- 

 viUe township is thus twice counted, appearing in each group. 



3 Remainder of Grant County. 

 ■* Benton and New Diggings. 



* Darlington, ShuUsburg, Benton, Kendall, New Diggings, Gratiot, Elk Grove, Bel- 

 mont, WiUow Springs, White Oak Springs and Monticello. 



^ Remainder of Lafayette County. 



' Different results would have been obtained if it had been possible to separate tha 

 viUage population from that of the rest of the town.
