SHIPPING ON THE LAKES.
From the Detroit Post. ]

The growth OF our lake marine has been OF the
wonderful Things in connection with the development
or this region. Previous to 1916 the number and ton
mage of lake craft very small indeed. In that
year steam was introduced upon Lake Ontario and
year two later upon Lake Erie. But the growth OF
commerce slow. There was but little for vessels
DO and steam navigation very far from the per-
lection which II has attained. II was not until
the tide OF emigration westward That the prosperity
OF the lake assured. With the settlement
OF Michigan and the opening up OF the Western terri
tory vessels IN demand and found profitable en-
poyment In $40 there werc iorty-eight steamboats,
the lakes The largest being OF about $50 tons bur-
den The estimated cost OF these was $4,000, 0oo
There that year $50 sail vessels, the largest
being OF $50 1t Is estimated that tho capital
then invested in sail vessels 900, making
total investment OF lake marine $345o,000.
In 1915 there were upon the lakes above Niagara
Falls 20 steamers, OF which were propcllers go
scLooners and 90 briggs. with aggregate OF 70,
tons There on Lake Ontario IL steamers, SIX OF
which propelers, and 100 sail vessels, with an
aggregate tonnage OF $4,000 The estimated value at
that time So 500, 600 Ten years later the number
OF craft on the lakes Increased to the following.
Steamboats, ITO; propciers, 81; schooncrs, $50;
bres l0l barks, SO; sloops and scows 2lo Tonnage,
237, 800 The value estimated to have reached
$40 900, 000 From that time onward the growth was
very rapid Three years later the tonnage had reached
3s,, ,40 and the valuation Sl5 Tne number Of
steamers had increased 10 BIZ and saii vessels TO

In 1862 the classification was as llows-Stcamers,
$685. schooners 066; barks "a briggs, Sb sloops ID;
total tonnage, 4l2l27 The value then was estimated
10 be FULLY $23 00O, 0c0.

OF 80 $685. sos barges with tonnage OF 254 453
making total OF 1871 304 tons Tho panic OF 1873 and

upon the lake trade but this is believed DO only
