In 1887 the only coal receiving docks
i'm Superior were tile st. Paul 81 Pa
cific, the Lehigh and the Pioneer Fuel
company, the latter at old Superior.
That year the total coal receipts here
were 100000 tons. Since then have
been added two docks for the North
Ohio Coal company, the latter being the
mammoth Eastern Minnesota dock,
only one-quarter completed. In 1883
the coal receipts on this side of the bay
were 7S6,000 tons. A mild winter de-
creased the receipts in 1889, hut the fol-
lowing figures show the comparative
imp ortance of this place as a coal port,
the figures showing the coal receipts OF
four lake ports in 1889.

The great anthracite coal company,
the Silver Creek Mining and Coal COM
pany, have purchased property here for
dock purposes. and will this year put in
their supply dock for all the Northwest
ern country, including Iowa and Ne
braska. That, with the completion of
the Eastern dock. will make this the
GREATEST RECEIVING COAL PORT
on the chain of lakes, carrying its
handling capacity up to 100000 tons
per year. The Eastern Minnesota in
1880 for the first time transacted mer-
chandse business at It's docks here, the
result being that the flour shipments by
lake for three ports was as follows:

And the additional result was o.
tained of swelling the total lake busi-
ness of the port for the season to val
uation of S2S, ,053, ,730, as against total
of $3.50, 46I tor 1888. The total values
of the three leading items of wheat and
flour shipments and coal receipts at
Chicago, Superior and Duluth in 1889
were as follows:

These figures were obtained from au-

spondent. The total wheat receipts at
the head of the lakes in 1889 was II, ,127,-

There was also added to the shipping
and dock interests of West Superior in
1889 the Northwestern supply plant of
the Standard Oil company, comprising
tanks and warehouses that handled &c.
QUO barrels of oil. The dock is to be
built this year, the Standard in the
meantime using section of the Eastern |
Minnesota dock for receiving purposes. |
The Eastern Minnesota is this year |
duplicating its
FLOUR AND MERCHANDISE
dock, and evidently counts on doubling |
it's business in that line. The docks and |
elevators now in actual existence here |
employ about 1,600 men in the season of |
navigation.
Upon Tower Bay slip this year is
added to the business interests of the |
city the Warehouse and Builders Sup
ply company plant, tile and sidewalk
stone concern that will employ about |
125 men: and the Northwestern
Adamaut Plaster company, employ
ing about forty men. On How
ards Pocket the Land company's
dry dock will go in, the McDougall |
shipyard and the Silver Creek Coal
company's dock. All of these large
docks, elevators, shipyards and fac
tories are upon st. Louis bay, including |
the two saw mills of Jones & Murray
and Peyton. Kimball & Barbour upon
Connor's Point, that sawed last year
about 3O,OO00OO feet of lumbsr. A new
mill is being built on the base of Con-
nor's Point by FL. NJ. Stocking and Sen
