The total product of the mines in 1895
was 3O6, ,252 tons Of ore, a large quantity
having been sold to the blasting fur
uacss near the mines. The reasons for
this rapid development of the Lake
The deposits are Immense, easily
worked, and nearly free from those
noxfous elements which render the
fux of most iron ores difficult and ex-
pensive. None of the mines are over
thirty:five miles from water transport
tltion, while the most are only tifleen
or sixteen miles distant. The lake
freight Is cheap-not more than from
two dollars and halfto three dollars a
ton TO Detroit or Cleveland, where coal
for manufacturing is cheap and Abuu-
dRnt. with such advantages IL Is not
strange that the iron manufactures of
these and the other lake cities have re-
ceiyed such an impetus within the last
decade, With ten years more OF such
growth they Will rival even the great
shipping Interests Of these hourishing
cities,

The Iron MINEs OF LAKE SUPERIOR.
in 1865 the Secretary Of the American
Iron and Steel Association wrote "Ons-
eighth ofan the iron now made in the
United States is dug from the mines in
Marquette county, and yet, ten years
ago a piece of Lake Superior ore was a
curiosity TO most OF our practical me-
talluTgists." This may seem to Eastern
readers somewhat exaggerated State
ment, but IL is well sustained by a de-
tailed account of the Lake Superior from
mines, which we find in the Chicago
Republican. From this itappears that
the iron product OF these mines has in
creased in the rapid ratio shown by the
following table. -- ---r .=s rr

State Tax-Important.

The State Board of Equalization increased

The Board of Supervisors of that county had

came to the conclusion that the action of the
state board was unconstitutional They appeal.
ed to Judge Beckwith, and nc gave them a
written opinion to that effect. The ground
he takes is, that the constitution points out
the mode of making the assessment. and that
as the law creating the state board takes it
out of the hands Of the officers named by the
constitution, the law creating the State Board
is nulity.
The state board increased the assessment of
La Sale county % per cent. If Cook county,
therefore, has cause to resist its action we have
double cause. Our impression is. in view of
the action in Cook county. that there ought
to be an immediate meeting of our Board OF
Supervisors to take action on the same subject.
At least there should, as soon as possible, u
case be made up for the Supreme Court, so
that the question may at once be definitely set
tied. The Supreme court meets at Springfield
during the present month.
