There il no lack Of pamphlets aud brochures
iFon-region, iron-uining, and iron-manufacture.
'6pecial reports usually comprehend the whole
general subject. Ali these are Of different
dates, snd have moro Or loss value. The writer
oh, OF ihese "a articles would 20 most happy to give
memoranda, but that, having found the Same
passages In many dinoront works, he ia uncer-

ona Of the most COMPREHENSIVE and eonvenient
by Mr.. 4. P. sNinford, OF tho Marquette Morn
ing Journal Mr.. suineford is an Old typo, and
formerly worked In this city, He went to Mar
q1.a qa1sattss e some years ego, and connected himself
important and valuable newBphper-ooncern,
largely circulated at home, and much respected
abroad. BY legitimate dealing in !aining
stocks, hr. swlnetord has acquired con-
to become ono q tho iron magnatoSs
of the Supper Peninnu1a. Ho Is assisted III his
labora By Mr. Lynn as mining editor, a gont1e-
man OF considerable journalistic experience in
the principal cities Of the West, and intimately
acquainted with tho mining Of iron aud it's nan-
'uiaoture. The best map Of the Marquette aud
'Menomlneo iron districts oxtans is by Mr. o.
Dreasler, mining and civil engineer, OF Nogau-
nee. It Is full md complete, giving bostdo all
the geographical! features Of tho country the To-
cation Of all tho mines and mining lands iu both
localities.
WIRE norE.
Among the projected industries at Marquette
Is an establishment for tho manufacture Of wire
rope,-the latter being used largely in the mines
OF the neighborhood for hoisting, tho transmits
sion Of power, aud the suying Of derriolis, DC.
The wire will bo made from wrought scrap, so
compounded as to yield tho best iron that can
be madc. The factory will bo constructed for tho
Lynn process in which tho entire manipulation
OF tho material Ia conducted by automatic means.
As point form
DEs5EalER STEEL RAIL MILL,
OF largo capacity, Marquette ia probably tho best
in the United states, Every quality Of orc can
30 procured, and every grade Of iron needed for
gleison wonld have to be imported here, az else
where In tho United States. And tho objection
which Ia sometimes made against iron-mnnufac-
trre In this district-tho abaence of fuol, aud
tho length Of freight-hauB-cannot bo ap~
piled to Bessemer rails with sufficient forco
to affect tho eucoess Of. their manu-
facture here, as the Siomons gas-furnacoH aro 30
used In this process rs to tako the place Of pre-
pared or mineral fuels to tho extent of nearlY 10
In 9 Siemens furnace lore, will bo cheaper than
coal-slaok similarly used in coal-rogion.
