Lake Superior Iron.

The product of thirteen iron mines in
the Lake Superior region for 1869 was
$50, ,233 gross tons, 500, ,3S7 net tons, and
the value was 81, l6S, 100. The total pro-
duct of the same mines during the time
they have been worked, is 2 ,944 ,676 tons
net. The eleven furnaces made 80 ,504
tons in 1869, valued at 81 ,802, ,245. The
Mining Journal says that the mines
have been developed into an inexhausti-
5le source of wealth, the neighborhood
of the mines improved and built upon,
railroad tracks constructed, extensive
docks with trestle works, "shoots,p y
pockets" and other improved coLveni-
ences for loading vessels erected, and
Marquette itself has expanded frolh a
few lonely houses into large and flour.
ishing village, with an extensive busi.
ness, to which tourists come in crowds
as delightful summer resort. The total
shipments of ore from the two ports oi
Marquette and Escanaba have increased
from less than 500 tons in 1855, to con-
siderably over 500, 900 tons in 1869, and
the product will probably reach 100000
the present year. Last year it was im-
possible TO supply the demand, and this
year the increased number and facilities
of the mines will be taxed in vain to
meet all the requirements of the hun
dreds of furnaces that run almost ex-
clusively on Lake Superior ere.

The steam Engine.

Amy one who has ever felt like ques-
tioning the fact that q locomotive en-
gine is among the marvellous creations
of human skill, should study the mann
moth machines which propel the i'm
mense OCEAN steamers like the Scotia
and the Persia. There is something
awful in this ponderous iron anatomy,
as it throbs and sobs in the bosom of
these huge leviathans. You have only
to know that the engine of the Persia
works up to three thousand horse-pow-
ers, consumes one hundred tons of coal
daily and.employs sixty-two engineers,
firemen and laborers, to form some idea
of its enormous dimensions and capaci-
ties. All this mass of metal and of men,
with seventeen hundred tons of coal lat
the starting,) is hidden away from the
passengers, who rarely descend into the
Plutonian caves to see and study the
stupendous triumphs of human genius
which is driving ship of three thous-
and four hundred tonnage through the
storm y and treacherous sea.

The RaiIroad Future.

The Portland Oregonian, on the sub
ject of railroads for the Pacific, says:
"We have in prospect grand coast
wise trunk line from Puget Sound to
San Francisco, a part of which is al
redy built. We have information that
it is in contemplation by railroad men
of California to unite with the California
and Oregon companies in the extension
of this trunk from San Francisco to San
Diego, the terminus of the Southern Pa.
cific Railroad. A part of this system is
already built or under way from San
francisco southwark. The men who
live to see the centennial anniversary
of the Declaration of Independence will
be able to start by rail from Portland,
Oregon, and make the grand round" of
the United States Uia Puget Sound, st.
Paul, Chicago, Buffalo, and the Niagara
Falls, to Portland, Maine; thence ria
Boston, New York, Philadelphia,
Charleston, and Pensacola 10 New Or
