SUPERIOR!
Her Location and Surround
ings.
Natural HA2BOR Advantages.
Mineral Wealth, Unsurpassed Lum-
bering Facilities and Agricul-
tural Resources.

Since our connection with the TINES we
haye daily received letters of inquiry re-
garding Superior and her resources and
prospects. We desire to answer all in4uir-
ers, but to do so separately by letter would
require all of our time or demand the en-
ployment of a special correspondent, and
then it would be incompletely done. To
meet the desires Of all, therefore, we have
compiled, from such statistics as are avail
able, brief sketch or history of the city
and its surroundings. The reader is no
doubt aware that the idea of building city
here is not new one, but that from various
causes it's development has been retarded.
The obstacles which have heretofore oper-
ated against the town have finally been re-
moved, however, and It's day of prosperity
is now at hand. Heretofore we have never
had an inland outlet; now we have the
Northern Pacific railroad stretching away
TO the plains Of the west, and IN few
months will have the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis K Omaha road giving us direct
communication with Chicago to the east
and all the great and fertile region lying to
the South and Southwest in an unbroken
chain through Southern Dakota, Nebraska
it is only necessary to say that within the
past six months 100000 have been ex.
pended here in new buildings and local i'm
provements not including the railroad build
ing. The \. ?. Company is building a
large and very substantial dock and the
city is repairing and cnlarging two others
The large hotel known as the Superior
House, containing about one hundred
rooms, has been reftted and furnished and
opened to the public; new $4,000 hotel
to be built by the n. p. Company will be
erected during the season and also at least
one million bushel elevator. coal docks, &c.
The only National bank at the head Of the
lake is here, and new business and dwelling
houses are springing up daily as if by
magic. Superior is the county seat OF
Douglas County, and we have an excellent
Court House, three good school houses aud
three schools in operation, three good
church buildings and another to be built
this season. all Of which is given as the best
of evidence that Superior is soon to occu
py that position in the great commercial
circles nature has intended she should
! occupy.
Much of the matter given below has o
course been given to the public before il
one form or another. but beinga interesting
to those who would ''know ali about US.
and thoroughly reliable. we compile it il
its present form to The better and more ex
piicitly answer the many questions pro
pounded to US.

clause OF the Constitution upon which this
law could rest. Alr. Smith argued that the

quiet one as regards developments in the
iron situation. At the headquarters Of the
Iron Association, Mr.. Weeks was found
engaged in conference wi,ha reverend gen.
tlemau, and was evidently more interested
in the coming camp meeting season than
in tho old or new scale or the last mill that
had fallen from grace. There was nothing
new in the situation, however, and Mr.. A.
Q. kloman was hunted up. In reply TO
questions as TO the state CT Affairs
at this mill, he said: The informa.
ton published TO the effect that
our experiment with lon.union men Is
failure, has no real b,lsis OF truth. The
accident which probably gave rise TO these
statements, consisted In the breaking OF Il
spindle OF one OF the lolls. il was such u
