Two or three companies are
| going into The manufacture ofbrick
On j large scale at Duluth. Experts
say that The red clay OF this country
under proper manipulation VIII
make excellent brick. Certain it is
that the brick burned above Rice's
Point some years ago and of which
the Hayes Block in Duluth is con-
structcd, have stood the test OF
time as we'll as amy brick. There

jay Cooke and his associat en-
who have bought up the most OF
the lands along the Dalles of the
St. Louis river with the view OF
utilizing The water for manufacture
ing purposes, We understand con-
template to improve The power 10
| to a considerable extern, this year,
and to erect and operate several
niles. The village OF Thomson has
offered them $4,000 in bonds TO
locate their works there, and they
are seriously considering the pro-
position. They originally contem-
plated locating al FonduIac, or in
its vicinity, but the high price ask
ed by some owners of. property
there, coupled by inducements he d
out by other localities, may drive
them away from tie ancient village
We should regret TO see our old
neiahbors st Fondulac lose the
great benefits TO enure TO any
locality from proximity TO the
manufacturing industries that will
sps;ng up about the st. Louis
Falls, aud hope they may
yet succeed in fastening
the business at their point. Mess.

There is very good opening

wish somebody would build and
maintain one. It is much needed
and would pay from the start
Besides the regular business travel
good hotel would get a large
amount of custom from tourists and
pleasure seekers. Lake Superioris
already, and deseryediy so, one o.:
the most popular summer resorts IN
the world, and as time progresses
will continue TO grow In favor IN
the estimation OF the people. In
the suliry season no other place i'll
the world offers such cooling
breezes, such clear atmosphere,
such fine hunting, fishing and bath
ing Is our grand old lake. And
then it is go accessible-now at this
point only "a hours from Chicago
by rail, and in year or two when
more direct lines are completed, it
will be several hours less. Superior
| is one OF The raost favored and at
tractive places on the lake, but
people will not come here unless
there are frat class hotel facilities.
1t would be very greatly for all
Interested here to try tosecure one at
an early day.
The praotcability of bored
wells in Superior has beel tested
TO some extent recently by Mr.. III.

hard pan was struck, and after
boring through it with great diff

through red clay for 40 feet, then
blue clay, striking the sand and
