always been found difficult TO get ->vessoIa |
enough to Lake Superior to carry off the pro-
duct Of the mines; but It IL believed that It |
win be different If the road Is completed |
south to Green Bay. The Lake Superior iron !
ore Il now largely used In the furnaces Of Ohio |
and Pennsylvania, TO mix with local ores OF |
inferior quality. We learn that abont 15o. 900 |
tons were all that could be got eastward dur
Ing the past season, while the market would
readily hare absorbed twice the amount.
With railway south to Green Bay, the de-
maud fer ore, It Is believed, could hAve been
fully supplied. /
The opening Of this line viii have very
stimulating effect upon our Northwestern
road, - It win give 1t = large business, and
force the building Of hundred and forty
miles Of road along the west aide Of Green
Bay, to connect the two lines, at an early day.
We need hardly dwell upon the value and the
Importance Of the Lake Superior trade. There:
IRE the 1argest and the richest iron and copper
deposits to be found In any country. Tens Of
Thousands Of people are now there, develop
Ing these mlnee, and with proper facilities for
marketing the products, they can be Increased
alnozt indefinitely.
We have heretofore stated that when epring
opens Passengers will reach Lake Superior Id
sthtty-Ei1 hours from this city. The time will
b. divided A follows; from Chicago to Green
P-y tie first day; Green Bay. to Bay du No
quet By steamer during the night; aud By
stage afty-dge miles the next day. to Mar
qnette. Regular lines ofsteamers will p1J daily
between Marquette and aud all the ports on
Lake Superior. It ID scarcely necessary 10 add
that this route will at once command nearly
a1l the trsvel and large share Of the trade In
light goods, between this city and Lake su-

I It was therefore fitting that the opening OF
thirty mile. Of road connecting line OF so
attended With an appropriate
CELEBRATION.
According TO programme, party Of some
hfty gentlemen with their ladies', from among
ou- leading firms and citizens, left for Green
| Bay on Wednesday morning. 1t was deter
| mined that an event Of 30 much importance
should be celebrated with due deliberation.
Hence the party stopped at the arrival Of the
train at Oshkosh, and spent The evening in a
very pleasant shop" at the Seymour House.
On Thursday morning several other guests
we're added to the party from this city and
Milwaukee, and the gay pGrs5 started fol
Green Bay. Arriving about u O'Clock a fine

ample tables we're spread BY the good citizens
Of Green Bay, loaded 9Th all the Injuries o.
