The Iron Resources of Lake
Superior.

The Portage Lake Gazette is enthusias-
tic in its estimation of the value of the i'm
mense iron-ore fields of Lake Superior, es-
pecially when the demand for good iron
and steel is so great and is so rapidly in
creasing In recent article, upon this
subject, that paper says:
We assert, without the least fear of
contradiction, that the economic and COM
mercial value of the iron ore deposits of
Northern Michigan, coupled with its won
derful charcoal resources and cheap faclll-
ties for obtaining stone coal, place it i'll a
position to become the seat of the FIRST iron
and steel manufacture in the world. If
we appear over jealous in our advocacy of
the iron resources of our region, we do so
from clear knowledge of the feet that
the raw material, commercially considered,
is the best and cheapest, and whenever we
do commence making iron and steel, and
our manufacturing plans are ffrmly sstab
lished, ordinary combetition becomes an
impossibility. for our central position to
the great northwest, together with the pu-
rity of our ores, will render our making of
iron and:steeI..so superior to that produced
elsewhere, that even the famous brands of
iron made from Swedish ores, must sue.
cunb to US in an open and fair market.

ew A correspondent Of the Milwaukee
Sentinel writing from Stuttgart, thus
speaks of the. prospect of the close of the
French and Prussian war: "The odds are
so fearful against the French that it is not
believed among military men, that they
can hold out much longer. Yet the French
are inside with pinching hunger, and the
Germans outside with biting cold. The
Wurtemburgers here, feel their losses
keenly. In the little suburbs of Cam
Stall there is sorrow and mourning. Their
proportion sent to the war was sixteen
all young men. Of these, six have been
killed and eight wounded. The Saxon
regiments. too, have suffered severely.
Willie sitting in the reading room of the
Hoiel Herman, yesterday, two blocks from
my own door, | heard the most piercing
shrnks, from a remote part of the house.
Soon the person uttering them came into
the room adjoining where | was reading.
The only words which could distinguish
were todt t0dt, todt dead, dead, dead l
afterward was infor med, that the person
thus afflicted was young lady stopping
there, who had just heard Of the death Of
her only brother, and what is more sad,
the only near relative in the world. He
was killed in the great sortie on the 9Th
of December, before Paris. None can tell,
but those who suffer, how many human
hearts are beating with the same sorrow.
In The midst of the carnage of battle,
while thousands lie with whitencd and
CHASTITY faces unburicd on the tle-firlds,
while the cries Of widows and orphans fill
the broad land, it is proposed to the King
of Prussia to elect him Emperor Of Ger,
many, and place upon his head the crown
Of Charlemagne. The King Of Bavaria,
Ludwig, has taken the iniative, and is adj
dressing the other royal members of the
confederacy, as well as the different prin
ces, together with the King himself, and
there can be no doubt of King William 5
acceptance. Hence, as soon as the war is
over, we shall have a coronation, which
will eclipse last years Boston jubilee, with
its anvil chorus of five hundred perform
ing blacksmiths. But whether crowned
again or uncrowned, King William will
make good ruler. One thing these people
may congratulate themselves on, that, in
the time of the Napoleon, I. the number cf
kings and princes amounted to little
more than three hundred, and now they
are reduced to little m IRE than baker $

A COMPARISON The farmer who re-
fuses to learn from the better practice OF
his neghbors, md depends solely upon his
own personal experience, may be COM
pared to the little spring bubbllng from
the earth-alvays the same, while the
farmer of more enlarged mind who adopts
the better practices of his neighborhood
and profits by all the improvements around
him, may be likened to a noble river,
which is fed from many fountains, and
which bears upon its bosom the accumula
ted wealth Of experience. Weigh well the
contrast here presented, between the mar
row-minded farmer, who is exhausting the
riches of the sol which Providence designed
for his prosperity, and the progressive
farmer whose labors are adding millions tc
the products of the country.

REDIsrRIcrING.--M Many of the papers of
the State are busily engaged in redistrict-
ing the State into Congressional Districts.
At present we have six districts, and it is
supposed that under the late census we
will be entitled to eight, though it is very
uncertain. Before it will become necessa:
nv to spend much time in drawing map
Of the new districts, Congress will have to
apportion the number of representatives
according to the population. This it may
10 during the present session of Congress,
and it may not. If the apportionment be
made and we find out how many represen-
tatives we are entitled to, we will have
plenty of time to assist in drawing the
map.

4 w lHumpl,r, vs.. Treasurer of the STR

A. W sHumphr, Us, Treasurer of the STIR
ling Iron aud Railway Company, In an ad-
dress delivered some time ago before the
Fair of the American Institute. in New
York, speaking of the iron industries of
this country, and the future wants OF the
United States in that line, said.
"If the manufacture need not be limited
from fear OF exhausting ores and fuel,
neither should there be any solicitude lest
there be to much iron produced. The iron
production OF the world scarcely keeps pace
with the augmented demand, and our
country has never, since its political indie
pendence was achieved, made anything like
the quantity necessary for its uses while
the iron needed. per capital is constantly
Increasing; sc that to say that our make
of iron is increasing faster than our popu-
lation, and therefore it would perhaps be
well to endeavor, indirectly, to check the
growth of this industry, is most emphatic
ally fallacious course of argument. To
compare very briefly our relative rate of
consumption and production, let us glance
for moment at the metal required for
rails, which absorbs the equivalent of half
our make of pigiron. Since 1866, when
We fairly got breath after the close of the
war, the demand for rails for new roads
has increased about 10 per cent. per an
nun. Estimating the duration of rails at
10 years, which is certainly liberal, We
have 10 per cent. more of the total quanti-
ty in use, required every year for repairs, in
all 20 per cent. per annum; the American
production of nails, in the same time, has
increased Is per cent. per annum, and in
the make of iron there has been an av-
erage increase of less than ii per cent,
showing that the supply Of pig is constant
~ behind the increased demand from the
rail mills, and the supply of rails con-
stantly behind the increased demand from
the railroads."
