METEOROLOGICAL.The United States Signal Service has first-class stations established at

Alpena, Detroit, Escanaba, Grand Haven, Mackinaw City, Marquette andPort Huron, and special display stations for the exhibition of cautionaryand weather signals at Bay City, Charlevoix, East Tawas, Elk Rapids, Frank-fort, Ludington, Fort Mackinac, Manistee, Menominee, Montague, Muske-gon, Northport, Pentwater, Petoskey, St. Ignace, St. Joseph, Sand Beach,South Haven and Traverse City. The station at Detroit also prints Farm-ers' Bulletins. The cost of these stations, exclusive of the pay of the observ-ers, was, during the fiscal year, 1883-4 but $2,919.

The cautionary signal is a black square in the center of a white flag andindicates the approach of a cold wave or northwest storm. The generalweather signals are also white flags with various figures, as follows: red cir-

cle or sphere, indicating higher temperature; red star, stationary tempera-ture; red moon, lower temperature; blue circle or sphere, general rain orsnow; blue star, local rain or snow; blue moon, clear or fair weather. Thered colors indicate temperature and the blue colors weather and the signalsare combined accordingly. In Canada and some of the States these signalsare used on railroad trains displayed on the sides of the baggage cars but havenot yet been adopted by the Michigan roads.

The calculations in the almanac are made according to Central StandardTime, or that of the ninetieth meridian of longitude west from Greenwich,which is also the legal time of Michigan. The local or solar time of anyparticular place differs from Central Standard Time according to its longi-

tude, being four minutes earlier or later for each degree of longitude east

or west of the ninetieth meridian. A slight difference also results fromdifference of latitude varying with the seasons. The following tables showthe latitude, longitude and most interesting meteorological data pf theseven United States stations and of the State stations at Lansing and ReedCity reported by the Board of Health

An analysis of the traffic shows an equivalent of 964 million passen-gers carried one mile, the average distance traveled by each passenger being30.89 miles and the average fare paid $1.05. The total freight ton mileagewas 6,164 millions, the average ton haul being 168.97 miles, for which theaverage amount received was $1.53, or .904 cents per mile. The chief com-modities moved were „, „,

From the reports of ten States in 1883 presenting complete statements ofpassenger traffic and earnings, Massachusetts, with but 1,953 miles of roadcarrying more than 61,500,000 passengers, reports the lowest rate—2.003 centsper mile. New Hampshire and Connecticut, also with small track-mileageand large traffic, come next. The average rate in Wisconsin was 3.12 cents;in Minnesota, 2 84 cents, and in Michigan, 2.72 cents per mile.

The comparative statement of freight traffic, compiled by CommissionerInnes in 1884, "shows that, next to Ohio, Michigan has the advantage of thelowest rates of any State in the Union,where reports have reached this office."

He then makes the following significant statement relative to the traffic

rates of the chief road of the State, the Michigan Central:" The Charter of the Michigan Central Railroad Company, passed in

1846, limited the charges which the Company should be authorized to col-

lect upon many specified commodities to the sums or tolls charged in themonths of September and October, 1845, upon certain New England rail-

roads, they being the Boston & Lowell, Boston & Providence and Boston &Worcester. The latter, many years since, became a part of the Boston <fc

Albany Railroad, and careful search at the general office of the formerfails to elicit any information as to what the tariff actually was by whichour most important railroad corporation is permitted to regulate its freightcharges. But, referring to the Massachusetts Commissioner's reports for1883, we find that the average freight rate for that year on the Boston &Albany was 1.20 cents. On the Boston & Lowell it was 2.90 cents and on theBoston & Providence 2.83 cents per ton per mile. Reference to the report ofthe Michigan Central for the same period shows that its rate was, onthrough freight, 0.63 cents; on local, 1.03 cents, and on all freight, 0.83 cents,or less by two-thirds than the average rate of the New England companies,by whose charges, nearly forty years ago, its own must be regulated."

Commissioner Innes, in his first report, suggests that "owing to theproximity of market towns to each other, on parallel lines of road, but fewpoints in reality fail to realize the benefit of competitive rates, and thatthe average difference in freight charges at what is generally consideredcompetitive and non-competitive points is not so great as is commonlybelieved." To test this he procured detailed reports of the traffic from non-competitive points on eight of the principal roads of the State and pub-lishes them in his report for 1884, with the following comments:

"A critical examination of the foregoing special reports conclusivelyshows that as a rule there are few points having superior advantages ofothers with regard to freight rates. Now and then there seems to be a place,where the tonnage is small and the haul short, that pays a_ higher averagerate than stations affording a larger traffic. But such is the case thecountry over in similar situation of affairs. It is one of the inevitablesequences of light traffic and short hauls that no legislation is able toavoid. Reference to the recapitulation that I have made of the averagesresulting from the special reports shows that the freight rate at the stationsincluded was only 1.36 (cents) per ton per mile, which is believed to be lowerwith a single exception) than that of any other State."

Taxation.—The State taxes paid by the railroad corporations amountedto $617,629 in 1884 and to $668,758 in 1885. Commissioner McPherson in hislast report analyzes the figures of 1884 as follows:

Taxable income per mile of road operated $4,968.49Per cent, of taxation on taxable income 2.49

Taxes per mile of road operated 123.57

Referring to the taxation of roads operated under special charter, he saysof the Michigan Central:

" As the question of the method of taxation of this corporation has metwith considerable discussion at recent sessions of the legislature, owing tothe impression that the company was not taxed in a fair proportion to thoseorganized under the general law, the following may be of interest as show-ing the situation for 18S4:

Taxes paid by the Michigan Central under its charter. .. $134,083.20Would have paid if taxed under the general law 114,239-91

Excess of taxes under the charter $19,843.29

Casualties.—The total number of casualties reported in 1884 was 495, asagainst 579 for the preceding year—a decrease of 87, or 10.05 per cent. Ofthe sufferers, 323 were employes, 36 were passengers, and there were ISfothers; 102 were killed, a decrease from last year of 61, and 393 were injured, many of them but slightly.

PLACE.

THE STATE OF MICHIGAN.GEOGRAPHICAL.

Near the center of the North American continent, with its two penin-

sulas embraced by the great inland seas of Huron, Michigan and Superior,

is one of the fairest of our sisterhood of States, \oung as she is, she hasalready outstripped most of her older sisters in the race of mental and ma-terial advancement and her history is full of the romance of early struggles

for existence, of poverty and toil and warfare, of marvelous development of

natural resources and the rapid acquisition of wealth and prosperity by theindustrious application of the arts and sciences of modern civilization.

Her domain is a truly imperial one of 58,915 square miles—larger than Eng-land and Wales and nearly as large as the New England States combined,lying in the same latitude as France, Switzerland and Austria.

Michigan consists of two irregular peninsulas, separated by the Strait of

Mackinaw, four miles wide, through which the waters of Lake Michiganempty into Lake Huron. The Lower Peninsula, having its base at the south,

is 277 miles in length and 259 miles in greatest width, and is partially sur-

rounded by Lakes Michigan, Huron, St. Clair and Erie, and St. Clair andDetroit Rivers. Near the northern part of Lake Michigan the shore line is

deeply indented by Great and Little Traverse Bays and nearly opposite onLake Huron by Thunder Bay and by Saginaw Bay farther south. The soil

is luxuriantly fertile, except in the northern part, and the surface generallylevel, though in the southern part there is an irregular cluster of hills from30 to 200 feet high, and nearer the eastern than the western shore a lowwater-shed extends northward, culminating rather ruggedly in elevations of

some 700 feet. The shores on both sides are in many places steep and elevatedand on Lake Michigan especially are numerous, bluffs and sand-hills from100 to 200 feet in height. It is composed, geologically, wholly of the Devonianand lower-carboniferous series of rocks except in the central portion, whichis occupied by the coal measures and the permo-carboniferous series. Theextensive pineries are all on the Lower Peninsula, and, though rapidly dis-

appearing, it is estimated that nearly 30,000 million feet are still standing.The Upper Peninsula has its base near the western extremity of Lake

Superior, and is 318 miles in length by from 30 to 164 miles in width. It com-prises the counties of Baraga, Chippewa, Delta, Houghton, Keweenaw,Mackinac, Marquette, Menominee, Ontonagon and Schoolcraft, embracingabout two-fifths of the area of the State and one-fifteenth of its population.The Lake Superior shore at first ti-ends northeast for some 160 miles to Kewee-naw point, a long peninsula running out into the lake and partly enclosingKeweenaw Bay east of it ; thence it undulates regularly to Whitefish Pointwhere it bends sharply south and then east, enclosing with the Canada shorethe deep basin of Tequamenon Bay, from which St. Mary's strait flows intoLake Huron. The Huron shore westward to Mackinaw strait is broken andislet-bordered. The northern shore-line of Lake Michigan is irregularwestward to Green Bay which opens at its northwest corner and the greaterpart of which belongs to Michigan. It presents more rugged and pictur-esque features than the Lower Peninsula as a result of its geological form-ation, composed of four of the oldest series of rocks, the lower Silurian,the copper-bearing rocks, the Huronian or iron-bearing series, and the Lau-rentian series. A noted feature of the latter is the sandstone bluff, thirtymiles west of Sault Ste. Marie, known as Pictured Rocks, variously coloredand worn by the waters into grotesque forms resembling castles, temples,arches, colonades, etc., presenting indeed a gorgeous appearance from thesteamer's deck. For about twelve miles these rocks rise to a height of 200 to300 feet. East of Marquette the watershed does not exceed an elevation of400 feet, and the Peninsula is covered with forests, mostly of soft woods.West of that meridian are irregular mountain ranges mostly trending east-northeast and west-southwest, with intervening lakes and swamps, and at-taining a height of 1,400 feet above Lake Superior. The soil of the UpperPeninsula is comparatively sterile but its western portion contains most ofthe mineral wealth of the State.

Land and water are well distributed in Michigan, the latter not onlyenhancing the beauty of the scenery but also materially modifying the cli-

mate. Besides the great lakes which give the State a shore line of 1,620miles, exclusive of the bays, there are more than 5,000 smaller lakes havingan aggregate area of 712,864 acres. Among the most important are Manis-tique, Agogebic, Torch and Michigamme in the Upper Peninsula, and Hough-ton, Higgins, Hubbard, Mullet, Burt's and Grand Lakes in the Lower Pe-ninsula. A chain of connecting lakes entered from Grand Traverse Bay is

uagivable for eighty miles. The State has 179 islands exceeding an acre inextent and having a total area of 405 square miles. Royale and Grand in LakeSuperior; Marquette, Mackinac and Bois Blanc in Lake Huron, and theBeaver, Fox and Manitou groups in the northern part of Lake Michigan,are the principal ones. The chief rivers are the Ontonagon and Tequam-enon, flowing into Lake Superior ; the Cheboygan, Au Sable and Saginawfalling into Lake Huron; and the St. Joseph, Muskegon, Manistee, GrandTraverse and Escanaba which empty into Lake Michigan.

HISTORICAL.

Early in the seventeenth century the hardy and adventurous French voy-agers and Jesuit missionaries coasted her shores and trod the solitude ofher primeval forests, and over her for a hundred and fifty years France,through Canadian governors, claimed the right of eminent domain. It was

56

not, however, until Pare Jaques Marquette founded in 1668 his mission atSaulte Ste. Marie that a white settlement was actually made upon her soil,

though for untold centuries the Indians and their predecessors, whom wecall the Mound-Builders, had peopled her forest glades. On the 24th of July.1701, La Motte Cadillac founded Detroit, and colonization and civil govern-ment began. With Canada it was surrendered to England in September,1760, and the expulsion of the French was the signal for Pontiac's war ofextermination against the whites, lasting for several years and renderedmemorable by the siege of Detroit and the massacre of the little garrison ofFort Michillimackinac. The English hauled down their red-cross banneron the 1st of July, 1796, and Michigan, still an unbroken wilderness, save atDetroit and Mackinac, became a part of the Northwest Territory of theUnited States. In 1800 the Northwest Territory was divided, the northand south dividing line running a few miles west of Mackinac and theeastern part becoming Indiana Territory. Two years later Ohio was ad-mitted into the Union as a State and all of Michigan became part of Indi-ana Territory and so remained until July 1, 1805, when the Territory ofMichigan was created, with Detroit as its seat of government.

The Territory of Michigan, according to the organic act, consisted of theregion lying between Lfilce Michigan on the west and the British possessionson the east and north and extended as far south as a line drawn eastwardfrom the southern point of Lake Michigan to Lake Erie. In 1816 a strip tenmiles wide was given up to Indiana. Two years later the Territory was re-

organized and made to embrace all of the present States of Michigan andWisconsin, that part of Minnesota lying east of the Mississippi and a stripof land six miles wide now included in Ohio. In 1834 her western boundarywas extended to the Missouri and White Earth rivers and included all of thepresent States of Minnesota and Iowa and a large part of Dakota. In 1835 sheknocked at the doors of the Union with a Constitution which was acceptedby Congress on the 15th of June, 1836, on condition that she acceded tothe claims of Ohio upon the strip of land above mentioned. A bitter contro-versy had raged for thirty years upon this subject and the condition wasrejected by the first convention but finally accepted by a second, and on the26th of January, 1837, Michigan, with her present boundaries, was formally,by act of Congress, declared one of the United States.

In the meantime the second war with Great Britain had been fought andthe infant Territory had suffered severely. Brig. Gen. William Hull, thenGovernor of the Territory, invaded Canada, but was obliged to fall back toDetroit, and upon the arrival of Gen. Brock surrendered to him, August 16,

1812, the city and Territory as well as his little army. The British capturedMackinac and Frenchtown and with their Indian allies overran and devas-tated the country generally. They were finally expelled by Gen. Harrisonand a treaty made with the Indians in 1814. In the same year Hull was court-martialed at Albany for his surrender of Detroit and sentenced to be shot,but in consideration of his distinguished Revolutionary services, as well ashis advanced age, the sentence was remitted. While still a Territory, the In-dian title to the southern peninsula, and to a great part of the upper penin-sula, was extinguished by various treaties and the lands peacefully thrownopen to white settlers.When Michigan was admitted to the Union as the thirteenth State since

the adoption of the Constitution, with Lucius Lyon and John Norvell for herSenators and Isaac E. Crary for her single Representative, she had a whitepopulation of 174,061, an increase of nearly 100 per cent, in three years.Wayne, with 23,400, including Detroit, was then the most populous county.Washtenaw county had less than 22,000 inhabitants and Kent but 2,022. Ing-ham and Saginaw had each less than 1,000 and Bay was still unorganized.Ne xt to^Vayne and Washtenaw, the counties of Oakland,Lenawee and Monroehad the largest population and none others reached 10,000. The immigrationwas chiefly from the State of New York, though many came from New Eng-land and from Ohio, and almost all by sailing vessels on Lake Erie. Agri-culture was then almost the sole pursuit. Manufactures were in theirinfancy and traders were few. There was no mining and no market for thetimber felled by the pioneer in his clearing. The reports of the first survey-ors sent to the Territory were extremely unfavorable and retarded its

settlement for many years. The soil was represented as marshy, barren andworthless, and the climate as very harsh and unhealthy. The experience ofthe early settlers, however, particularly when the rich low-grounds beganto b'3 drained and reclaimed, produced, though slowly, a better impression,and after the first quarter of the century immigration became more rapid.From 1820 to 1830 the population increased 261 per cent, and in the next de-cade 571 per cent.

The construction of railroads, which began in 1836, vastly increased thefacilities for travel and transportation and gave a great impetus, not only toimmigration and settlement but also to trade, commerce, agriculture andmanufactures. By 1840 the tide of settlement had swept entirely across thelower peninsula and extended as far north as the Saginaw River. BesidesDetroit, Grand Haven and Lansing appeared on the map^ and a little colonyheld the outpost at the Straits of Mackinaw. With the increase of popula-tion in the interior grew the demand for a more central location of the seatof government and, by legislative act of March 16, 1847, the caiiital was re-moved from Detroit to Lansing. In 1850 was adopted a new Constitution,which, with subsequent amendments, is still in force. For the first time thecensus maps this year showed the towns of Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo, AunArbor, Saginaw and Port Huron. The limits of settlement had not materi-ally enlarged but within them population had become more dense.

The next decade marked a still greater increase, not only in population,

but still more in wealth and the diversification of industry. The populationhad risen to three quarters of a million, an increase of 88.3 per cent, since

1850. In rank of population she had risen from the twenty-sixth to the six-

teenth State in the Union. She produced an average of more than nineteenbushels of wheat to the acre and was beginning to be known as the greatwinter-wheat State. It was discovered that the climate of the Lake Michi-gan slope of the Lower Peninsula was peculiarly favorable to fruit-raisingand the product of her rapidly increasing orchards and vineyards surprisedthe Eastern horticulturist. The lathe, the loom and the hammer were heardin her busy, thriving cities. Her commerce whitened the great inland seas.

New industries had been developed by the demand for her uuequaled sup-plies of timber, and by the discovery and development of the coal, salt andplaster deposits of the lower peninsula and the marvelously pure iron and cop-per of the upper peninsula, Michigan had ceased to be purely agriculturaland had become also a great manufacturing, mining and commercial State.

Politically, Michigan was carried by the Democrats down to 1852, save inthe famous Log-Cabin campaign of 1840, when she gratefully rememberedthe services of General Harrison in her behalf and gave him her electoralvote. Her support of Polk in 1814 was emphasized three years later by hercontribution of eleven companies of volunteer infantry, a company of regu-lar dragoons and three companies of regular infantry to the United Statesarmy during the Mexican war, in which they distinguished themselves byfaithful, efficient and gallant services. The progress of anti-slavery senti-ment was, however, steady and rapidly crystallized during the Kansasstruggle of 1854-56. In the latter year she gave 20,001) majority for Fremontand has ever since cast her electoral votes for the Republican presidentialcandidates. When the struggle came for the preservation and supremacy ofthe national Union, she was full of enthusiastic, unwavering loyalty.Austin Blair was then Governor, Zachariah Chandler and Jacob M. Howardher Senators, and Fernando C. Beamen, Bradley F. Granger, Francis W.Kellogg and llowland E. Trowbridge her Representatives. She turned herwealth into sacrificial gold and her harvest fields, her mines and her forestsyielded armed men. The State and the counties, cities and townships paidout for bounties, premiums, relief of soldiers' families and other war pur-poses, $16,548,992. She contributed to the United States armies during the war90,747 men, ofwhom 358 officers and 14,497 enlisted men were killed in battle ordied of wounds or disease. As a State she was but twenty-four years of ageand her population was only three-quarters of a million, but through fouryears of war she played an important part both in the cabinet and the field.

On the return of peace her war-worn veterans returned to find theirmother-state entering upon a new and remarkable career of prosperity.The salt wells of the Saginaw valley were proving profitable and were beingrapidly developed. The pine forests were yielding to still more vigorousassaults. The iron mines of the Ui^per Peninsula were sending to the blastfurnaces an annually increasing tribute that supplanted foreign imi)orta-tions and won the first rank as the king of metals. The discovery of thefamous Calumet conglomerate in 1865 had given a new and greater impetusto copper mining, and the increase in the production of this valuable metalwas no less wonderful than that of iron. With this marvelous and almostsimultaneous development of the mineral and forest resources of the Statecame a stimulated yet healthy growth in her commerce, her interior tradeand her manufactures. And scarcely impeded by the two subsequent periodsof national financial stringency and distress, her progress in the path ofmaterial prosperity has been steady and invariable, and her increasedwealth has been accompanied by all the elements of a free, intelligent,happy and christian commonwealth.

In 1880 Michigan ranked as the eleventh State in area, the ninth in pop-ulation, the twelfth in wealth and the sixth in popular education. It stoodfirst in the value of iron ore production, copper, lumber and salt, fourth innumber of sheep and production of wheat and buckwheat, and ninth in valueof manufactures and production of barley and oats. The annual value ofher iron, copper, lumber and salt products now reaches the enormous sum ofseventy-five millions of dollars.A full and satisfactory history of the Peninsula State yet remains to be

written, but the materials for it are of great fullness and value. JudgeCampbell's 0?/fZi)!es of the Political History of Michigan (Detroit, 1876), andJudge Cooley's recent Michigan; a History of Governments, in the Ameri-can Commonwealth series of Houghton, Mifflin & Co., are, despite their lim-itations, very interesting and valuable. The four volumes of the Geology ofMichigan form a rich storehouse of facts of the material resources of theState and only need the publication of a fifth for their complete presenta-tion. Roland D. Irving's monograph on the Copper-bearing Bocks of LakeSuperior, published by the U, S. Geological Survey, is a valuable contribu-tion to scientific knowledge.

Mackinac Island.

"Grandest and *^" ^^-^^loveliest of all saun- -^ Vfhtering-spots, unrivaled ''^ "'' '

nueen of all these snatchesof enchanted summer land u\ mj

is Mackinac Island, in the Ui

f

Straits of Mackinavy.whose K.blue-green waves divide thetwo peninsulas that compose the State. Exceptingthe almost inaccessible Yel ^lowstone Park alone, there '

is no spot in all the new ^

world that more nearlj -

unites in itself all the glo >%ries and beauties and advantages that constitute a peifecttourists' paradise." Such i^ thedeliberate opinion of that experi- , , ,

enced traveler, Colonel D ^nan, from Twhose nervous, vigorous and altogethercharming little book we condense a briefdescription. Rising grandly from the mightychannel.inwhich the waters of earth's three greatest unsalted oceans •Su-perior, Huron and Michigan—meet and blend in eternal billowy harmony,Mackinac Island is nearly nine miles in circumference and towers at itshighest point over three hundred feet above the waves that lave its snowyfeet. The United States government has, with a just appreciation of itswonderful attractions, reserved the entire island, with the exception ofthree small farms whose title is guaranteed by treaty, for a National Park.

A sail around the island in any of the little steamers or yachts that arealways at command presents a continuous succession of charming views,but none is more striking than that on entering the harbor at its southernend. The beautiful bay is crescent-shaped and its waters are so clear thata white marble or a silver quarter can be distinctly seen at a depth of fromtwenty to fifty feet. Myriads of fish are plainly visible as they cleave theirway through the liquid crystal.

Overlooking the bay, the tall white cliffs, with their back-ground of wav-ing forest; the fort, with Its massive walls of whitewashed stone, clingingpicturesquely to the brow of the precipice; the straggling little town at itsfeet, stronglyrecaUing visions of Italian fishing villages; the long ramblinghotels, with verandas above and below; the neat residences, with their grass-plots and shrubbery, fountains and flowers, mingling among buildings thathave been historic for three generations; and, as a frontispiece to it all, thewide, smooth, gently-sloping beach of snowy sand on which the sunlit watersever play, all combine to form a picture that, once seen, is never forgotten.

" The natural scenery of Mackinac is charming," writes, in PicturesgiiieAmerica,Constance Fenimore Woclson, whose admiraVjle story of Anne is alocal as well as a national classic. " The geologist finds mysteries in the

calcareous rock dipping at unexpected angles; the antiquarian~59

^

feasts his eyes on the Druidical circles of ancient stones; the invalid sits onthe cJitf's edge, in the vivid sunshine, and breathes in the buoyant air withdelight, or rides slowly over the old military roads, with the spicery of cedarsand juniper alternating with the fresh forest odors of young maples andbeeches. The haunted birches abound and on the crags grow the weirdlarches, beckoning with their long fingers—the most human tree of all.

Bluebells, on their hair-like stems, swing from the rocks, fading at a touch,and in the deep woods are the Indian pipes, but the ordinary wild-flowersare not to be found. Over toward the British Landing stand the Gothic spi resof the blue-green spruces and now and then an Indian trail crosses theroad, worn deep by the feet of the red men when the Fairy Island was theirfavorite and sacred resort."

On the edge of a perpendicular precipice of white limestone, a hundredand fifty-five feet high, just back of the town, is the fort which, in pictur-esque beauty of location, has no rival among all the fortresses of the UnitedStates. Its position somewhat resembles that of Fort Snelling, but is muchmore romantic. Magnificent views of the surrounding lakes, channels,islands, promontories, forests, towns and shipping are to be had from everypoint on the lofty parapet; and the world affords no grander sight than asunrise or sunset from the fort, the great globe of crimson and gold seemingat its rising to burst up from the bosom of Lake Huron and at its setting toplunge into the midst of Lake Michigan, casting a million prismatic tintsof glorious light on wave and sky. It was of one of these gorgeous sunsetscenes that Longfellow wrote:

"Can it be the sun descending Staining all the waves with crimson

—

O'er the level plain of water? With the crimson of its life-blood;

Or the Red Swan floating, flying, Filling all the air with splendor—_

Wounded by the magic arrow, With the splendor of its plumage ?"

Arch Rock is one of the wildest, weirdest, sublimest freaks of nature s

handiwork in sculpture. The chisel prints of untold ages of whirling watersare all over it. The first glimpse of its manifold grandeurs and beautiestakes away the breath of any party of intelligent tourists and each feels inhis astonishment and delight the inability to express the emotions thatoverwhelm one in the presence of such a scene. Imagine, if you can, pro-jecting from the face of a cliff two hundred feet high, a gigantic bay-win-dow of stone, supported by a mighty arch a hundred and forty-nine feethigh at its summit. The rim or wall of the bay-window is about three feetwide and it bulges out some twenty feet from the cliff, overhanging theblue-green water of the lake a dizzy depth below. The view from the sum-mit of the arch takes in a glorious sweep of fifty miles. The scene by moon-light from a boat below the arch is most enchanting. About half a mileback of Fort Mackinac, on the highest point of the island, are the ruins ofold Fort Holmes, built by the British after its capture in lel2 and called bythem Fort George. The Americans named it Fort Holmes, in honor of thegallant officer who fell in the attempt to retake the island in 1814. Fromthis historic spot the eye takes in one of the grandest panoramas on earth,a sweep of a hundred and fifty miles of magnificent lakes, white-crestedbillows, green islands, beetling crags, gently-sloping shores of dazzling sand,light-houses, towns, Indian encampments and far-reaching forests meltingaway in the dim distance into the undistinguishable blue of sky and water.Far away to the northward are plainly seen St. Martin's Bay, St. Martin'sIsland, Burns' Island and the famous Chippewa village at the mouth of PineRiver. To the west lie Point St. Ignatius, the Rabbit's Back Mountain,Pointe La Barbe, where the old traders used to shave and brush up a littlebefore going to meet their patrons or their girls in Mackinac, and the GrosCap Hills fading away into the dim shore line. Outlined against the sky onthe southwest are Waugoshance light-house, McGulpin's Point and light-house, and nearer at hnnd Mackinaw City on the northern point of the lowerpeninsula. Fifteen miles southward the pretty little city of Cheboygan liesin plain view, with its docks, its tasteful houses and its fleet of steam andsail vessels. Spectacle Reef light-house looks like a slender finger againstthe eastern horizon, and across a narrow strait Bois Blanc Island looms upwith its light-houses and forests of white birch, while twelve miles off to thenortheast can be seen the upper part of the Cheneaux Islands, an enchant-ing archipelago of some seventy-five or eighty beautiful islands, varyingfrom two miles in length to mere green specks a hundred feet across, dot-ting the crystal waters which rush by, fifteen fathoms deep at the shores, andswarming with whitefish, bass, pickerel, gamy muskallonge and lake trout.Every floating cloud or gleam of sunshine changes the glorious scene byvarying the tintings of the waters, which range through every shade fromdeepest azure to palest opal green, from purple and lavender to purest silver.

In such a spot, with the glories of earth and heaven unrolled before thegaze, where the atmosphere is as pure as the gales that wandered over pri-meval paradise, where the temperature is always cool enough to be bracingand invigorating, where a fly or mosquito never was seen, where the induce-ments to constant exercise of every sense and sinew are as boundless as thebeauties of the place, and where the healing fragrance of the pine and hem-lock and balsam-fir are borne on every breeze, dyspepsia, languor and lowspirits take flight at once, hay-fever victims are at rest and catarrhs andasthmas mysteriously disappear. The querulous invalid, before he knowsit, finds himself boating, fishing, strolling, flirting like a prize athlete or aHarvard freshman. Well might Horace Mann, writing of the influence of"The Wonderful Isle," say: "I never breathed such an air before. I thinkthat this must be some that came clear out of Eden and did not get cursed."

MINERAL PRODUCTIONS OF MICHIGAN.IRON.

In 1844 the variation of the compass needles near the present city ofNegaunee drew the attention of the United States surveyors to the outcrop-pings of magnetic iron. In 1846 the tirst ore. three hundred pounds, wastaken from the Jackson mine, and smelted in an old forge the following win-ter. It was 1855 before the shipment ojC ore fairly began, since when the out-put has aggregated 25,000,000 of tons. The deposits are confined to the azoicformation of the Northern Peninsula and are located in the counties ofMarquette, Menominee, Ontonagon, Delta, Baraga and Houghton. "It isdoubtful," says Prof. T. B. Brooks, in the Geoluuical Survey of Blichigan(i. 216), "if, in the same extent and thickness of rocks anywhere in the world,there is a larger percentage of iron oxide than in the Marquette series. Inthe order of relative abundance, so far as made <^ut, the ores are the flag, thered specular hematites, soft or brown hematites and magnetites. These allexist in workable beds and all as disseminated minerals in rocks usuallysilicious." The average percentage of metallic iron in these four varietiesof ore varies from 49.332 in the flag to 62.915 in the specular and 62,930 in themagnetite, while that of phosphorus ranges from .053 in the flag and .078 inthe soft hematites to .111 in the specular. Excepting the soft hematites,which contain about five per cent, of water, the elements other than oxide ofiron and silicia amount lo but five per cent. The quality and value of theLake Superior iron ore, as the Michigan ore is usually termed, is very high.The census of 18bO reported the product of Pennsylvania during the previousyear as 2,185,675 tons, valued at $5,517,079. But the Michigan product, though350,000 tons less, was worth over half a million of dollars more. Pennsylvaniaemployed a little more capital than Michigan, but paid the miners an aver-age of only $28.57 per month, while Michigan paid $43.11. Michigan now un-doubtedly leads in quantity as well as quality and value of iron production.New York and New Jersey are third and fourth in the list, followed by Ohioand Missouri. The iron monograph of the tenth census reports Michigan asthe eighth iron manufacturing State, having twenty charcoal blast furnacesand two rolling mills employing $4,175,386 capital and 3.089 hands, paying$922,597 in wages and making 142,716 tons of product valued at $4,591,613. Sheused, however, but 201,179 tons of her own ore, sending over 1,200.0(30 tone tothe other States to make one- third of all the pig iron of the Republic.

MICHIGAN LANDFO R SALE

On the Line of the Michigan Central R. R.

^3^

The Michigan Central Railroad, when it acquired the Jackson, Lansing &Saginaw Railroad, acquired also the Government Land Grant, comprising

in the neighborhood of 600^000 acres in Saginaw,Bay, Arenac, Ogemaw, Roscommon, Missau-^ kee, Kalkaska, Crawford, Oscoda, Mont-

fi^ '" morency, Otsego, Antrim, Cheboyganand Charlevoix coun-ties. This portionof the great State

of Michigan con-tains a fair popu-lation and is veryrapidly filling upwiththebest classof settlers from

all parts of the Uni-ted States and Can-ada. The comple-

tion of the Michigan.. _^,-., -,- «ju--. C'entral Railroad to Mackinaw^^, - ""^ .i'^i^dbT^ City, passing through about the^^ »- "-——J .*«-,• ''j^-f^ center of these lands, has given

an impetus to immigration thatpromises to rapidly settle all the lands still unsold.

The country is what is generally known as "heavy-timbered" land.There is pine enough interspersed among the hard wood to supply settlerswith building material for many years to come. Sugar maple and beechare the predominant woods, while other kinds, such as elm, basswood andhemlock, are to be found. The trees attain a gigantic size, proving thegreat productiveness of the soil.

The soil is generally of a dark sandy loam and in many places has a claysubsoil. Vegetables of every kind grow abundantly and in great perfec-tion. The crops are never a failure. Wheat, corn, buckwheat, peas, ryeand potatoes are the principal crops, all of which yield abundantly. Fourhundred and fifty bushels of potatoes have been raised from one acre andfifty bushels of wheat to an acre have been grown. The average yield ofwheat is about twenty bushels and of potatoes about one hundred and tenbushels per acre.

The winters are not colder than in Southern Michigan, Northern Ohioand Indiana. Snow generally falls to a depth of from eighteen inches totwo feet and the surface of the ground seldom freezes. Potatoes and manyother root crops are frequently left in the ground all winter and dug out inthe following spring and found in excellent condition.

During the summer the nights are cool, while the days are never ex-cessively hot. General good health prevails at all seasons and malarialdiseases are rare. Fever and ague and kindred diseases are almost un-known and people who have suffered from them for many years speedilyand permanently recover after coming here. Many families came here toescape the chills and fever that had so persistently followed them in theWest and all have been permanently benefited by the change.

Tickets will be sold to intending settlers to any point north of Oakley,Michigan, by all agents of the Michigan Central Railroad, at two cents per

j

mile, and for settlers on or near the line of the road the Michigan CentralRailroad will carry household goods and other freight at half regular

j

freight rates.Parties who may wish to look at the lands can also obtain any desired

information from any of the agents of the Company.The fullest information in regard to climate, crops, taxes, prices of ,

lands, and any other subject of interest to persons intending to immigrate,j

will be furnished upon application, in person or by letter, to

the wealth and pros-

that has always taken a just pride in it, un-til now it is not only " The Great East andWest Highway," wearing its well-earned

title of " The Niagara Falls Route," but it

is more than ever the Michigan Central,with its lines of steel rails running from ,

Detroit, the metropolis and its focal point, * *^'/\/,

eastward to Buffalo, south to Toledo, westto Chicago and Grand Rapids and northto the Saginaws, Bay City and Mackinaw,while its branches and connections permeate both peninsulas, a networkof life-sustaining veins. Leaving out two towns with which it has close

connections, it runs its cars to the eleven largest cities of the State, having anasrgregate population of more than 327,000. It traverses the richest agricultural

and timber lands of the State, the great factories of the State are on its lines

and it is the great outlet of its fruit, salt and coal regions, as well as of the UpperPeninsula with its marvelous stores of mineral wealth. The map shows its im-portance more strongly than any description, but the Mackinaw Division is

worthy of special mention as being the direct line to the Northern Peninsula; to

Mackinac, the tourist's paradise, the gem of the Great Lakes, reserved byCongress as a National park; to Topinabee, the great resort of hay-fever suffer-

ers; to the lake ports of Cheboygan and Mackinaw City, from which steamers

run to Manistique, Sault Ste. Marie and other points of interest; through the

great pine forests that fill the air with healing balsamic odors; to Grayling,

Roscommon and a score of other places on brawling streams whose cold clear

waters are filled with speckled brook trout and grayling, the princes of pisca-

torial prizes. Nature has filled this northern portion of the Lower Peninsula

with beauty, stocked it with fish and game and sends over it gentle zephyrs of

purest ozone, giving health and vigor to the sick and weary. An admirable

system of through cars and close connections has placed this remarkable

region within easy reach of Boston, New Xork, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Louis-

ville, Chicago and St. Louis. Illustrated descriptive folders can be obtained

TO THE PUBLIC.

On the issue of this, the revised and enlarged edition of Facts andFigures about Michigan, the compiler desires to express his appreciation

of the warm reception accorded to the first edition by the newspaper press

and the general public, and of the cordial co-operation of friends through-

out the State in the work of revision, without which success would have

been impossible. United States, State, county and city officers, officials and

agents of railroads and other corporations, editors, lawyers, ministers andmerchants, have, with but few exceptions, responded with gratifying

promptness to our requests for information. To each and all of them weextend our sincere thanks for their prompt courtesy. Our only regret is that

the failure or neglect of a few has delayed the issue of this volume and

rendered it impossible to complete and tabulate much valuable information

that we had hoped to present. If, however, our little book continues to find

favor in the eyes of the people, we shall hope, with the continued assistance

and co-operation of all persons interested, to make each successive issue still

fuller, better and more attractive.THE COMPILER.

A FEW MICHIGAN RESORTS.

DIAMOND LAKE,ON THE AIR LINE OF THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL,

is a beautiful sheet of water, about nine miles in circumference, surroundedby a natural forest of oak, maple and beech. It is a delightful resort forthose seeking relief from business cares and who desire the recreation ofrural life and sylvan scenes. In the lake is an island of seventy-five acres.The fishing is very fine, bass, pickerel and many other specif s being inabundance. Wall-eyed pike and black bass may be caught in May and June.On the north shore of the Jake is a summer hotel (Forest Hald, wherethe Michigan Central trains stop. This hotel is fitted up with all modernimprovements and is well conducted. Post office address, Cassopolis, Mich.

ST. CLAIR MINERAL SPRINGS,ON THE LINE OF THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL.

St. Clair itself is a prosperous, elegant little town of about two thousandinhabitants, on the west bank of St. Clair River and about half way betweenLakes Huron and St. Clair. TheOakland is a fine large hotel and sanitariumsituated on the river bank, just south of St. Clair, and within three minutes'walk of the Michigan Central Depot. It is a favorite place for those whowish a summer's perfect resort, as well as those who seek relief from disease.The St. Clair Mineral Spring VTateu is of the same general class as theSaratoga and German saline spas, but more powerful than most of them.Taken internally, or in the form of hot orcold baths, it is found to be veryefficacious in all forms of diseases of the skin, blood liver and genitals.The baths are no less delightful than curative and result in a physical vigorthat gives a new zest to life.

SOUTH HAVEN,TERMINUS OF SOUTH HAVEN DIVISION MICHIGAN CENTRAL,

is a charming town of fifteen hundred population, located where Black Riverempties into Lake Michigan. The surrounding country is fruitful and pict-uresque, fish and game abound, the facilities for bathing and caraping-outare excellent, -and the lake freezes render the summer climate delightfuland healthy. A local resort for many years, its reputation has quietly spreadto distant regions without the aid of special advertising.

TOPINABEE,THE NORTHERN HAY FEVER RESORT,

is situated on the narrow peninsula between Mullet and Burt Lakes, thirtymiles south of Mackinac Island, and on the Mackinaw Division of theMichigan Central. It is one of the best points in Northern Michigan forhook and line fishing, bass, pickerel, pike and whitefish being abundant inthe lakes, with fine trout and grayling streams near at hand. Game is veryplentiful.On account of its high, dry and healthful situation, Topinabee has been

chosen as the permanent location of the Lake View Summer Resort of theNorthern Hay Fever Resort Association, whose Secretary and Manager,Robert E. Williams, Jackson, Mich., may be applied to by those desirous ofadditional information. The grounds form a natural park, rising in ter-races from the lake, covered with timber and carpeted with winter-greens,arbutus and sweet ferns, and the climate and outdoor life will infuse newlife into the most wearied denizen of the city.

YPSILANTI,ON THE MAIN LINE OF THE MICHIGAN CENTRAL,

has rapidly become one of the most important resorts for health seekers inthe country. Its mineral wat>-r has proved a most potent natural medicinefor very many organic and chronic diseases, and is sold in all the principaltowns and cities. Its chemical analysis by Prof. Prescott, of the Universityof Michigan, shows that it possesses greater strength and power than theSaratoga, Kochbrunnen or other well known saline mineral waters, andcompares well with the noted sulphur waters of Harrowgate, England. Withits alkaline reaction and its sulphates of sodium, potassium and magnesium,its bromide, sulphur and iron, it is a powerful tonic and an eliminator ofmjasmaticand blood-poisons from the system. It is used both externallyand internally with great effect and tends to equalize the circulation, regu-

late cardiac action, excite secretion and tone the muscular and nervoussvstem. A fine bathhouse, hotel and sanitarium, has been erected, andhealth and pleasure seekers will find Ypsilanti a delightful resting place.

MACKINAC ISLAND, see page 59.

The Michigan Central is the only real "Niagara Falls Koute" in thecountry—none genuine without "M. C." blown in the bottle. It is the onlyrailroad that gives a satisfactory view of the Falls. Every day train stopsfrom five to ten minutes at Falls View, which is v/liat the name indicates—

a

splendid point from, which to view the great cataract. It is right on thebrink of the grand canyon, at the Canadian end of the Horseshoe, and everypart of the Falls is in plain sight. Even if he is tao ill or too lazy to get outof his car, he can see the liquid wonder of the world from the window or theplatform. This is the Michigan Central's strongest hold on popular favor,its greatest advantage, its chief attraction. So long as the waters of thatmighty river thunder down to the awful depths below, so long as the rushand roar, the surge and foam and prismatic spray of nature's cataractic mas-terpiece remain to delight and awe the human soul, thousands and tens ofthousands ot beauty-lovers and grandeur-worshipers will journey over theonly railroad from which it can be seen. There is but one Niagara Falls onearth and but one direct great railway to it.

After leaving Falls View, the train sweeps along the edge of the mightychasm, some two or three miles, to Suspension Bridge, giving constant andever-changing views of the cataract and the surging, boiling river, as it

madly rushes and rages between the perpendicular walls of stone, three hun-dred feet high, that torva the great canyon of Niagara. The stream is

crosi^ed on the new Cantilever Bridge, which, stretching over the roaringflood, from precipice to precipice, seemingly resting on air alone, is a marvelof engineering skill and daring. It is a dizzy height above the seethingwaters, and seems a pathway only for winged creatures, but the train rushesover it as though it were a highway cut in solid stone. From the bridgethere is a magnificent view of the Falls, the Eapids and the Suspension Foot-Bridge, above the Cantilever; while below it the eye takes in the LowerIlapids and the awful Whirlpool, where Captain Webb's body was found.On the New York side of the river the road follows the very brink of the

canyon for a mile or more, affording continual glorious glimpses_ of tl.o

Cataract, the Rapids and all the other noted spots; and, after leaving thetown of Niagara, it winds along the margin of the river, furnishing views ofthe islands and the Upper Eapids, until the mighty stream widens out intoLake Erie, just as the conductor announces Buffalo. It is a twenty-mile-longflying panorama of God's and Nature's sublime.st handiwork— a feast to theeye, ear, heart, soul and imagination that is worth the cost in time andmoney of a trip across the continent or around the world.—Co?.

THE BEST description of Niagaka Falls is probably that written byAnthony Tbollope during his visit to this country in 1862, and is char-

acterized by his usual care, lucidity, fullness of detail and painstakingaccuracy. It has been reprinted, with illustrations, by the Michigan Cen-tral, and a description of the building of the Cantilever Bridge added. Itwill be sent to any address on receipt of stamp for postage.
