ON LAKE SUPERIOR.

Gloomy Outlook at Superior CITY.
Correspondence of the Globe.1
DULUTH, June Fittings are very bright
to-day at the "Zenth city, The streets
which few years ago wore sad deserted air
are now full of hustle and life. AS came
down Superior street last evening and noticed
the crowds passing and repasslng, it seemed
almost like Third street of our own city, a.
Paul. The buildings, however, dispel
that illusion for If we except
Smiths drug store, postofice
block and one or two others, the same Old one
and two-story frame buildings that were built
in 1869 still adorni the way. discovered a
number of frame stores going up at present,
in opposition to my idea Of prudence, but
there are also some buildings of better class.

looms up in fine style. It is to be of veneered
brick, is on the opposite side from the old
Clark house, and little farther south. It is
to be occupied about August 1, and will be a
thing of beauty and joy forever to the travel
ing public. Commercial men are most of
them staying at "The Casino," Dambrock's
place, though the EBAY View" and other
houses are all full. Those who have held on
to property here are happy. AS you meet
them upon the streets they smile serenely up
on you, great contrast to the sickly smile of
four years ago assure you.
Why 1T was that Duluth ever had it's set
back and dark days, can't for the life of me
tell. She always had within herself the ele-
ments of success. Geographically no location
could have been finer, and yet it is only of
late that the great boom has come. The i'm
petus given to the manufacturing interests
and the increased shipping are the causes as
sign. There are some twelve large sawmllls
at WORK to-day, the blast furnace and other
kindred institutions which employ 80 many
hundreds of men, while the elevators. coal
docks and other freight houses which
employ an army of men have brought
the population of Duluth up to
almost fabulous figures, and by 1856 she will
be found to be the third city of the state.
During the month of May just passed, the
port arrivals were over lao, 12O being American
vessels. So, that if there is no very rich agrl-
cultural district Immediately at her door, her
vast shipping, railroad communications and
immense manufacturing interests, will always
in the future make Duluth boom. was sur

Hearing of the Superior City boom while at
st. Paul, went over there yesterday,
and took it in for the first time since 1869.
Poor Superior, the scene of Kentucky's bur-

perate kick it makes once in every few years
to keep itself from utter annihilstion, and I
want to say just here that it is just about as
futile as kicking against stone wall. When

rayines and gullies are still bridged over by
the creaking, rickety walks which, where the
ground is more level, have been in many
places thoughtfully thrown aside to protec,
the lives of the few solitary pedestrians who
might be endangered. A line of red clay In
the middle of the street attests the fact that
it is such, while between it and the walk on

and has protected poor, helpless humanity by
