10 Snip ORE By RAIL.

A new route from lower Michigan
points to Duluth, saving eighty-fve
miles in the length of the present
shortest route, is what is claimed
by Dan w. kaufman, of Marquette,
for his new across-lake line via
Northport and Manistique.
Mr.. kaufman has given an order
to the American Shipbuilding com
pany for the first of two immense
car ferries, which will be ready for
service at the beginning of naviga.
ton next April. This ferry will
have capacity of thirty cars, and
will be about the same as the Pere
Marquette ferry, which was turned
out last winter, except that it will
be equipped with more powerful
engines. The ferry will also have
passenger accommodations.
The new ferry will be started on
the route between Northport in the
lower peninsula of Michigan, and
Manistique in the upper peninsula.
It will form connecting link be-
tween ports that are open all the
year around, for two sections of a
system of railroad that are quite
important though small. The Ma.
nistique, Marquette & Northern ex-
tends from Manistique almost due
north, having a connection with
the 500 line at Manistique and with
the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic
at Singleton. This will give the
road important feeders for it's lines
in the lower peninsula. A line is
now projected between Traverse
City and Northport, through Leele
nau county, that is under construc
ton and is to be known as the Ira
verse City, Leelenau & Manistique
which will have it's lake port al
| Northport. At Traverse City the
line connects directly with the
Grand Rapids & Indiana railroad, {
Pennsylvania property.
Mr.. kaufman advances PROPOSE
ton which has stunned some of the
marine men. He says that it is al
together possible for the road tt
handle ore down from Manistique
or possibly Duluth, and to handle
coal back. all rail, by the use of this
ferry, and thus for the first time in
the history Of the great lake trade
bring the all-rai1 competition di
rectly opposed to the boat lines IN
to trade that boats have hitherto
monopolized. The undertaking il
gigantic and almost incredible
Mr.. kaufman says, however, that
he believes the rates can be opera
ted in such way as to make it a
paying business. The route would
be the South Shore from Marquette
to Singleton, the NJ. NJ. & N. to Ma
nistique, the ferry to Northport, the
new T. c., L. & NJ. to Traverse City
and the Pennsylvania or it's connec-
tons through to the valleys or the
Pittsburg district.
