LAKE HURON FULL OF ICE FIELDS.
| PORT HURON, Mich, April 16.-The con-
dition of the ice in Lake Huron is much
the same as in the winter. There is mar
row strip of water along the west shore
reaching as far as Point Sanilac. On &C.
count of the late southwest winds no ice
has come down the river for two days up
to this date. The Ice has been very heavy.
A letter from Port Austin says that the
lake is full of heavy fields as far as the eye
can reach. There are all pros
poets from the indications of weather
that there will be no opening of the
straits until after May 1. Should the
winds continue southeast the vessels will
| find trouble a.: the straits. With northeast
winds they will be delayed at the foot of
| this lake, and with southwest or northwest
winds they will be detained at Buffalo.
The season having gone so far now, the
marine interest is looked upon as favor
able, with late opening.
