this place rs not expected to be- NJ
la'ge as last season, yet the
amount promises to he tar from
small, and much greater tnan
was anticipated six weeks ago.
While the number If 'jnbbers''
and those operating on II small
scale, have decreased, large Con-
Germs appear not 10 have curtaiIcd
business very mncl the present
season. Foresecing the e ear dc

OF finances next spring, those VIII"
arc able appear determined to put
IN a. many logo this winter as is
possible for them to de-. And
then, camp expenses ot all kinds,
ard especially wages, arc nIoch
lower this season than last, all oi
which will nearly balance he diff
ference caused by the late tinan-
cial crisis.

All the above mentioned firms
"rerate on the upper Mnskeg"n,
and with the exception Of Hall &
Davis, who come in by the way
1T he Jackson e Lansing Rail
road, make Farwell their base tor
supplies. How many firms there
are on he stream, who make Evarr
their base for supplies, we cannol
say, but undoubtedly the number
is rot small.
On the Chippewa river, south
Of this place, numbering is com.
para'ively more limited than last
season. The largest firm opera
ting there, as we learn, is David
Ward, who intends to PVT in abont
100000 feet. +. Benjamin, we
learn, Intends to put in 5000, 900;
l.. j. Willard, abou. 5000, 0OO;E
Hall, about. 1900, 1000 feet. or
course, there are other concerns
on this stream, but we have men
toned only those hat make Far

4 II,nklc, two miles below this
place, we learn, intend 10 pat in
shout 5,OO0.000 feet: AMI Wilson
Brothers, about 100000 feet. Al
Relnick Station, three miles above
this place, j Curry intends To- put
in 5000, )OO ieet, To be hanled
to the ralr' ad track, and run by
rail to Saginaw. The price paid
per 1000 is So. Those logs are IN
tended to be shipped all through
the season rs fast as they are haul
ed. We learn also that others
will operate at Remick the present
season, the particulars Of which
we do not know. Above this
place, at Chippewa Station, Gale
IL Wcll'nan irtcrd to put i'll about
i. 100000.
At Glare, and on the Tobacco
river, rear by, there will be put N,
perhaps, 100000 feet. AT Loom
is, live miles below Clare, the
amount If logs Intended to I've IruI
in will exceed 100000 N rth
f Loomis on the Tobacco river,
we cannot say how much lumber
ing g intended To be done the
u, sen, season. Tom Nestcr has
y camp thcr, and We believe in
tcncs ioput in not less Ian 1000,
600, while the amount to be pnt in
by ether parties, we wonld judge
is in endcd to- be not less than TO-.
900, 900, feet. These figures are
Compiled from the most reliable
source at DIV commands and while
they may not he correct in every
case, We believe The estimates
gwen ar. not high. After u care.
tm review Of the Situation, shonl d
the season prove favorable, not
withstanding the hard times, three
fourths as many logs will he got
ont in this vicinity as waa last sea
