Last Sunday being Easter your re.
porter spent the day at the hOspltable
home of j. l.. Myrick and wife, at the
Superior coal mines. A large amount
OF improvements have been made there
during the past year. A new two story
house 28x32 with ell 16x20 and two
Verandas, and near this a large and
commodtous boarding house 3Ox4O, two
story, that will accommodate so guests,
while two other smaller residences are
near by; then a large barn 30x5O COM
Dletes the buildings with single ex-
ceptton and that is the powder house
which stands off by itself quite little
way, where a Car load Of powder is
stored during the busy coal season.
During the past year they have handled
at this bank 10000 tons of coal, aud of
this they shipped over 100 Car loads.
This is their first year and they have
only Just started. In this connection
we will add that they keep a No. l
stock of groceries, and during the past
two months while the bad roads was
all the talk, they had large trade. To
tell the truth it looks like young town
had started out here. We find that Mr..
Myrick Is somewhat interested in fine
horses. There about % head to be
found roaming over the farm, but he
has two fine stations. BonOna is fine
horse sure, and grandson of Onward,
one of the noted horses. His imported
Black Percheron, Sohpocle, is as fine as
we have ever seen of that breed. The
finest animal, in our judgment, is his
fine bay mare called Dark Eyes. jim,
as we all call him, is lover of fine
stock. and he knows how to care for
them, having spent a lifetime on the
farm, and he knows how to manage it.
They are nicely fixed in their new home
and we left these good people with a
bright prospect for the future. The
HERALD makes its regular weekly Wis
its here and is always welcome.
