SUPERIOR as SEM BY ZIP PARTIAL VISITORS.
1t is interesting TO note that impartial
observers of the situation as the head Of
Lake Superior have but one verdict to rem
der, and that is that the site Of the future
great city in this region IS now occupied
by the town of Superior.
The fact that this is the uniform opinion
of all unbiased visitors to this section Is g
very significant one indeed. 1t shows that
the situation of Superior is its own best ad-
vertisement, and it shows further that the
whole country stands ready to advance our
interests for their own sake, as soon as our
citizens do their duty by securing a railway
connection with the outer world, as they
easily can do within twelve months, and IS
we hope and believe they viii DO.
A Cincinnati gentleman who recently
visited the head Of the Lake, and looked
upon the situation with IN impartial eye,
writes his views at length for the columns
of the Cincinnati Enquirer. It IS noticea-
bic that while his letter is meant to inform
the public about Duluth, he cannot refrain
from paying just tribute to Superior to such
an extent that among the head lines Of the
letter is this sentence 'The Far Better Site
OF Superior City"
He first treats Of the well known Duluth
assumption that 1t is the only possible city
OF the future, and here IS what ne says:
POLITICALLY or Realistically Duluth IS represents

THUNDER BAY, L. s., Sept 81, 1871.
Eaitor Tines Tie excitement caused by the Silver
Mines, on the increase, at Thunder Bay, owing to
recent discoveries and the unfang richness Of mines

now being worked by an energetic American Co. Be
sides the main Shaft, the vein has been opened in
some fifteen places, and each fresh opening confirms
the fact that the vein is equally rich over its entire

feet shows that the richness Of the ere increases with

GROWTH 0E ST. PAUL.
The editor Of the ST. Cloud Times, S

The editor Of the ST. Cloud Times, speaks
as follows concerning the growth OF Saint
Paul:
On approaching ST. Paul, the rapid growth Of the
place was made apparent Everywhere, new buildings
we're sDrngng up by masic Tt seemed as the city
was absorbing all the nehbogng country in its rapid
spread and that too, with the best Of buildings
Indeed the wooden era in the history Of st. Paul
has passed. Once they put up their blocks Of wood,
now, only she beautiful limestone upon which the city
rests anu the solid granite brought rem near St Cloud
satisfies. Progress, progress, progress. 1t j. only
about four months since lost in this city, and
yet in that time 1t has almost grown out acknowledges
strange this may seem it IS nevertheless fact.
Talk about any other city in the State ever competing
with st. Paul. Why, the idea is absurd to any one
who win look for himself into the growth and aohdisy
Of this city
The Minnesota towns that feel jealous Of
st. Paul, may rs well face the facts first as
last. her entorprising business men have
tnor tha least idea in the world OF surrender

A WORD TO THE WISE.

A WORD TO THE WISE.
We are approaching the close Of the yeal
1871. Feeling the exceedingly important
relations of this year to the railroad enter
prises in the neighborhood OF Lake Supo-
rior, we have urged action upon our citizens
from {. date early in the season. But q
limited portion of this almost decisive year
is now left us. But three months in all,
and less than two months between us, and
agiator What we expect to accomplish in
the way of railroad work OF railroad con-
tracts, will need to be hastoned somewhat
if it Is to make it's record in 1871.
We had at this time last year a railroad
proposition to which We were asked to ex-
tend aid in the shape Of interesting the
county directly IN its stock. BY q bare
majority the proposition was negatived, and
as consequence we had q winter marked
by no little dulness and uncertainty in our
business prospects,
We hope that our citizens viii make q
good use Of October and November this
present fall A step, prompt, united and
decisive, taken now in favor Of q railroad,
will as one Of is first fruits, put q business
foundation under our feet this winter, that
will be worth enjoying. We think orr
merchants would appreciate snch q winter
rather better than the last, and our working
men in general would feel it to be one of
the brightest and most bracng winters they
had ever known on Lake Superior.
It is entirely within the power Of our cit
izens to be their own benetactors this fall.
Time was when waiting was the order Of
the day; when the town could DO nothing
apparently to promote its own interests in
connection with the railroad question. But
that time has passed away. a firm deter
minaton on the part Of al he citizens Of
Superior to seek common ground OF plan
and action IMMEDIATELY, would place our
present interests and future prospects At
premium at once. Such excellent results
would flow from one emitted effort that a
consideration of them in advance ought TO
move our little community 10 act as one
man.
What viii You have, citizens of Superior,
as the closing scene ofI87I-a year IN which
it may be said to your credit that mach has
already been done IN the way Of liberal
subscriptions, and intelligent deliberation
what will you have as the final record OF.
q season hitherto SO promising? VIII you
stuItify yourselves by closing this year as
many before in "wishy washy everlasting
TALK" Or viii you resolve Ike men to
"accept and ratify" railroad proposition
that MEANS BUSINESS! If we allow another
opportunity to pass unimproyed we will
deserve all the gibes of our commercial II
walls, who have actually been counting for
years as part of their working capital and
means of success, on cur divisions, Jealous
les, and naccontable delays. The year
1871 has served Us weil thus far. Let its
close be the legitimate climax Of 8seerutg

Coffin SAYS the poorest portion Of it IS equal

it is not only that but equal to the rest OF
