can make It pay handsome pront On tho In
vestmout. 4 railway IL alrea5y built from
Marquette to the mines, and 1t r,qalres
but fcrty-seyen miles more to con-
meet 1t with Grce4 Bay. It has
always been found difficult to Ret vcaseIs
enough to Lake Superior to cazzy of the pro-
duct OF the mines; but it 10 believed that It |
will be different Il the roAd il completed |
south to Green Bay. The Lske Superior iron |
ore isnow largely used In the furnaces Of Ohio !
md Pennsylvanla, to mix With local ores Of |
inferior quality. We learn that abont $50, 900 !
tons we're Ill that eonld be got eastward dur. |
Ing the past,season, while the market wonld
readily have absorbed twice the amount.
With railway south to Green Bay, the de-
mand fer ore, 1t Is believed, could have been
fully supplied.
The opening Of this line win have very
stimulating effect upon our Northwestern
road, as 1t viii give 1t largo business, aud
force the building Of hundred and forty
miles Of road Along The west side OF Green
Bay, to connect the two lines, at an carly day,
We need hardly dwell upon the value and the
importance Of the Lake Superior trade. There
are the largest and the richest iron and copper
deposits to be found in any country. Tens Of
thousands Of people are 1ow there, develop
ing these mlnee, and with proper facilities for
marketing the products, they can be increased
almost indefinitely.
We have heretofore stated that when spring
opeus passengers will reach Lake Superior In
thirty hours from this city. The time will
be divided a. follows; from Chicago to Green
Bay the first day; Green Bay to By du No
qnet By steamer durng the night; aud by
stage dfty-dve miles the next day to Mar
qustte- Regular lines ofsteamers will ply daily
between Marquette aud and all the ports on
Lake Superior. It il scarcely necessary to add
that this route will at once command nearly
all the travel aud large share Of the trade ia
light goods, between this city and Lake su-
perlor.
1twss therefore fitting that the opening Of
thirty miles Of road connecting line of 50
attended with an appropriate
cELBnEATIoN.
According 10 programme, aparty OF some
nifty gentlemen with their ladies, from among
OF: leading firms and citizens, left for Green
Bay on Wednesday morning. It WAS deter
mined that an event Of 50 much importance
should be celebrated with due deliberatlon.
Hence the party stopped at the arrival Of the
Train at Oshkosh, and spent the evening in 8
very pleasant ''hop'' ut the Seymour House.
On Thursday morning several other gucats
we're added to the party from this city and
Milwaukee, and the gay party started far
Green Bay. Arriving about II o'clock fine
| te@mt1was in readiness and gave us a. ex-
cmsion Of an hour down the Bay. Returaiag,
| ample tables were spread By the good citizens
OF Green Bay, 7oaded with all the lutnries ol
The Eeasor, to which their guests did the most
/ liberal and consuming justice. The address o.
Welcome was &hcn made by Judge Howe d
| Green Bay, United S:a'es Senator, in one 81
! the mosr appropriate End amusing speeches
| we ever heard on such an occasion. Appro
