STATISTICS
Of SaH and Lumber Of Saginaw Taley
For 1868.
INTRODUCTORY REMARKS.

Taking it for granted that after
what has been written and said upon
the subject, readers must be fully
aware of the geographical position,
products and main poculiarities Of the
Saginaw Valley, our object will be to
give statement Of the business, pres
ent and prospective, in the two great
staples, salt aud lumber, with such in
cidental facts and figures in regard to
the advantages, history, extent and de-
velopment of these resources, and the
collateral productions Of slaves, shin
gles,, g., as are, as matter Of course,
to be looked for in this connection
The facts and figures given were OBJ
tanned by actual inquiry from parties
interested, for which purpose we have
visited nearly every manufacturing es-
Enlistment mentioned, and therefore
regard them as substantially correct,
und the views of the most candid and
practical men in this section also coin
eide with ours in thisrcspcct. The U. s.
Tax Collectors report Of salt sales. for
the year 1868, excepting the month of
December, is 327 1858 bbls. Our re-
port of product for the year is 4ee, 1856
bbls., with 43,00S bbls on hand at the
works, leaving only 5000 bbls. to be
accounted for by December sales and
salt in store at other points. The
sales for the month of October, '63,
were 1888 bbls. Thus it will be
seen that there is no material discrep-
ancy between our figures and those of
the u. S. Collector, which we had not
consulted previous to making the en-
quiries, nor were they alluded to by
ourselves or others while.we were thus
engaged. The extent of territory en-
braced in this statement is only that
the surplus products of which find
their way to market rn. the Saginaw
River. Nine-tenths Of the operations
noticed are embraced within circuit
of fifty miles.

LUMBER.

There is probably no larger or more
valuable tract of pine timber in the
world than that of tho Saginaw Dis
trict, the product of which must Of
necessity find its way to market
through Saginaw River and Bay. The
qualities are, White pine, or Cork pine,
as it is sometimes termed, straight
grained and free from pitch, the most
valuable, and from which the upper
qualities are made Sapling Pine
which cuts mainly into fencing, flooring
common and lower qualities, and Nor
way Pine, firmer, but free from pitch,
and peculiarly adapted to bridge and
car building purposes, deck plank, ctc.
Hemlock is also found in abundance
and is worked into fencing, joists, etc.
Small quantities of White Wood,
Black Walnut Cherry, Ash and Oak
are also sawed for local use.
The quality of Saginaw pine is un-
surpassed. In 1861 quantity of
deals were shipped to Quebec, con-

SUMMARY.

IDAHo.--Capt. Fiske, U. s, A., who
has made two trips of explorations for
route to the gold mines Of Idaho,
yesterday gave the Chamber of Com
merce the benefit of somo Of his OBJ
servations, going, while there, and re-
turning. His statements of the rich
ness of the mines, tho feasibility of a
or railroad route thither, the amount
Of business done, &c., &C., took most
Of his audience by surprise. He stat
cd, among other things, that the Vir-
ginia mines were now worked by 2, 900
men and that s25, 000,0 900 in gold
had been mined there last year, and
that Milwaukee should be prepared
to furnish IN outfit for not less than
5000 emigrants for Idaho, who would
probably seek to supply themselves
here the coming season. He. had
specimens of the gold from there and
said it yielded from ten cents to $50
per pan. Said he saw one PAINFUL
''scooped from pocket" that yielded
5000. There are few pockets here
from which 5000 could be 'scoopcd.")
Ore nugget, worth some $40, which
no exhibited, had not very bad like
ness of the president drawn from, and
by nature. A smooth surface had
been made on portion of it, and in

was by the East Saginaw Salt Manu-
featuring Co., at East Saginaw, in
1859; allowing ample margin for over
estimates, miscalculhtions and what is
temporarily prospective in our figures,
and the value Of the salt investment
in the. Saginaw River District Is over
two million dollars; an increase un-
precedented in the history Of salt de-
velopments, or the development of any
other of the natural resources Of the
country.
ADVANTAGES. 81
Some of the advantages which have
led. to this rapid development of the
salt interest are, the abundance,
strength ru1 purity ofthe brine, facil-
tiles for procuring fuel, barrels, lum-
Der and timber for blocks or covers,
for the shipment of salt and obtaining
by vessels, at low freights, such mate
rails or supplies as are needed from a
distance. Of the strength of the brine
there is no question, and regarding its
purity It is, as the New York Legisla-
tive Committee who visited this section
in 1862 remark in their report, ".only
by chemical analysis that the value
Of the brine can be determined" That
test has been thorouuglyyapplied and
we give the result of one analysis
which must certainly be considered as
impartial;

Wholesale TRADE.--Wo have SOW
eral times before referred to the whole
.ale trade of East Saginaw, but recur
to it again for the purpose of noticing
as a speciality the house of FnIzELIE
Bios, whose establishment has OF
late been greatly enlarged and inn
proved.
They now occupy an al" in Hess
Block, running from the old building
on Genesee street through new brick
block to Washington street, having a
front of % feet of each street, and a
depth from street TO street of 155 feet.
IN addition to this they occupy for
storage the cellar under Livingston &
Toms store, 22xS0. Their retail de-
partment fronts on Genosec street ;
wholesale on Washington street, and
their facilities, arrangements and ac-
commodations for tho transaction of
business are especially noticeable for
their ample extent and judicious man
ngemcnt.
Their wholesale trade, which in this
particular branch was inaugurated by
them, and has been increased more
than ten fold from first quarters fig
ures. Sales at Wholesale in drugs and
medicines are mainly to traders in Sag
inaw, Genesce, Tuscola, Midland, Bay
and the shore counties; in chemicals
to salt operators on tho river, aad in
paints, oils, kerosene, &C., TO the
whole district noted. We might par
ticularize and give figures showing
transactions in the Wholesale depart
ment of an extent little dreamed of
by superficial observers, but it is
enough to say that no commercial
house in Michigan is more fully up to
the requirements Of its locality as to
its sphere of operations, or the bust
ness thereof better managed than
that Of FRIzELLE BRo's., East Saginaw.
