rounded by every luxury and comfort
that the heart could ask for, and they are
both justly entitled to it, for they have
| passed through the storms and hardships
Of pioneer life and have earned their
reward after years Of hard and patient
toll. They are both genial, social and
pleasant people and they made our visit
an agreeable one and one that we will
long remember Mr.. WEIGH also owns the
Dunn Iron Mine,
which is located on Il Q Menominee river
near Crystal Falls, and on what is known
AS Paint river, and il Is one OF the few iron
mines that are now in operation, and the Q
are l25 men now employed in it, and tie
output finds "a ready market This Is "A
very valuable property and is bringing
| Mr. Welch in handsome income.
NJ. WEIGH has several hundred acres OF
land in the county, nearly all of which is
covered with valuable mineral cepo-iis
al Il timber, and in few years it will he
worth double what it now Is. He had
acre sown to timothy this season and it
yielded tons of bay, which i, equal to aud
better than any other country aud is only
an illustration of what tn, soil here can
lee made 10 produce when properly cult
waited.
Mr. Welch has been II very extensive
traveller in his days. but he says that, for a
good healthy climate and for general
prosperity, the upper peninsula has no
pUunl He is nuiIa N bnntar and fisher
and still enjoys that sport and says that
there is no other country equal to this for
that enjoyment He has some fine st.
Bernard dogs and several head of horses
now. Mr. WEIGH is one of L'Anse and
Baraga county's most liberal and enter
prising citizens as well as one of its heavy
lax payers, and he has many friends and
acquaintance all over the copper country.
G. r. BIankenhorn.
The ancient Latins declined beef thus:
pie of Rome may have been authority on
poetry and art, they could not have had
such business houses as L'Anse possesses,
for with. a meat market like the one owned
and operated by C, p. Blankenhorn they
would never have declincd beef. Seriously
speaking, however, this is one of the larg-
est and best equipped meat markets in
Baraga county and in fact it is the only
| first-class meat market in this city Mr..
| Blankenhorn came here twenty years
| ago and established n small shop and has
| been engaged in that business ever since.
| He now owns and occupies a two story
building 50x60 feet, and the lower room is
| fitted up in the very best of style for carry
ing on his business. He has built up an ex-
cellent patronage and he thoroughly I'M
derstands how to run a business of this
kind to please the people, and he has
| large refrigerator in which he keeps his
meats cool and fresh during the warm sum
mer months. The manner in which he
keeps his establishment shows that he
knows just what is wanted in that line,
and he fully understands the business, and
the people of this city appreciate this fact.
| Mr.. Blankenhorn has several fine marble
slabs on which his meats are kept, and all
the other necessary equipments. He buys
adj his meats fresh from the Armour Pack
ing House of Chicago, and his large refrig
orator will hold two car loads of meat.
Mr. Blankenhorn makes a speciality Of
wholesaling meats to lumber camps and
country butcher shops, and disposes of
| from twelve to fifteen beeves per week,
and he also has a large and well equipped
shop at Baraga. He has fine office in the
front part of the building and his daughter,
Miss Allie, is the book-keeper, and she is
an accomplished young lady. Mr. Blank.
| enhorn also owns so acres of land ad jacent
to the city, which is suitable for plating,
and which he will lay off in lots in the near
future, and he also owns some valuable
timber lands. He raises all the vegetables,
such as cabbage and potatoes, which he
sells in his shop, and also has some fine hay
land upon which he raises enough hay to
feed his ten or more head of horses Fish,
oysters and game in season can be found
in this shop, and in fact there is not n bet
ter kept meat market on the Duluth, South
Shore a. Atlantic Railroad than the one
owned 10y Mr.. Blankenhorn, right here in
LAnse.

city and improve this county. One of
these gentlemen is Mr.. NJ. Mauger, who
came hero nineteen or twenty years ago,

and storms, has always been found willing
to aid and assist any and all laudable en-
terprises He engaged in the saloon bust
ness when he first came here and he is still
