THE WORLD'S HIGHWAY.
It is -ho exaggeration whatever- u> say that the
Northern Pacific Railroad wilt prove to Ire the grandest
commercial highway tUo world Las ever seen, or ever
shall see. It is the best possible rpute bet ween Europe
and the ladies, and by its construction w.il answer a
question that has vexed ihfe world for hundreds of
} ' ar.-f; question that sent De Gama around the Cape
of Good Hope, Columbus across the Atlantic, and
Magellan around Cape Horn ; that lured Sir John
Fi nfetin to sedk a northwest passage, arid others -as
daring, to attempt the discovery of a northeast passage
by cold Kpitzbergen, and through seas northtlf Siberia
itself. The Same question has fought m answer b\ at
tempting to cut a canal through th■ unfits of Darien,
and in fact cut a banal through the UtHifins i.f Suez.
Bat no route by the Arctic extremities, or torrid
centres of the two continents can for an instant com
pute, with the Northern Pacific Railroad as a- .tisiae
tory reply to the query of ages and generations ‘ What
is the beat route between Western Korop- and Eastern
Asia r>
The Northern Pacific is this route without a r;...1
Of all laud routes it is the shortest. Tlu Union Pa
cific is longer; the Southern Pacific longer >t, and
any possible continental railway in the oli world is
not to be mentioned iu'cotftparisdn. Ail iii't water
routes between Europe and the Orient are of course
still longer, but that were nothing if they w- re wibumt
ollu r great hindrances, as water carnage is so much
cheaper than transportation overland
But wind and water currents, storms, and oohl, and
heat tend to nullify the advantages of all exi ting or'
possible water routes between Europe and the E st.
Arctic routes are of course not to, Lc spoken of The
far famed canal of M. do Eesseps connecting tin Medi
terranean and the Bed Sea was thought, until actual
trial, to be the true path of the world’s c i.-.merce.
But the intolerable heat experienced by uners
traversing the Bed Sen, together with its fierce head
winds, and intricate navigation, have over thrown all
hopes built bn that route. The pas-age around the
cape- i- baftling, hazardous,'and measurably u:c< it; i u
besides requiring vessels to cross the torrid zone tw ice
each way.
Given then a direct rente between Europe and Asia
in Iht li'.ini'crute zo/tc w ith only 1,770 miles of railway
in lii" lg,"oo miles of distance between the antipodes
tuns connected, and we have a route shortest, swiftest,
eh -apivt, h st. Everything that needs or seeks swift
conveyance w ill come via the Northern Pacific railw iy.
Ever;, thing that heat would harm will take this rou e.
everything that cold or storm, or snow would hinder
■id tak the fcatue path, lire world's trade will mit
. dly u,.d inevitably b ■ tributanr-in a literal sense to
tins chief enterprise of the ages.
But we have not spoken of the immense trade it will
developo on the American continent alone. Populous
and powerful states w ill spring up along its line. Such
s dl, forests, and mines as the world lias rarely known ,
arc w tiling the eomirtg of this road to draw mitt Europe ,
to Arm riei. Innumerable hranbli tine's will be thrust
nut l.i’waiiy, and serve as’ adUltlltifaT’feedbrs of YHW

North rn Pacific will pour along like som- mighty
riv v or gulf stream of irallic, increasing, aad i. a .Lag
and trettbhg a* a flows till it reaches the Great Lake
witji a volume that will require one third of the tonnage
of tj*• ■ globe to, bear it away.
Within’ twenty years four lines of steel railways, side
by -ide, will be required to accommodate a national
and in ten rational commerce of which fre now can form

THE HARBOR OF DULUTH.
Tin-: Duluth Mm'lesotxdn seems to nr- disturbed be
catise tlie Wisconsin delegation in C ugre.-s.doesn’t
cumi - up to the work of securing an app priation for
the Duluth harbor. Now it is time that the Duluth
fog which envelopes this subject should be ch ared
aw iv.* The improvement of the hari or of Sut i rior, is
the i provcmeuC of the harbor i f Duluth. The ti"o
j-!-n •- I ire uu< and the saine harbor. Siqu ri -r is on one
side of this harbor. Duluth is on the other An inn-1
lip ;l and disinterested govt nmietn officer specially
detailed lot the purpose of devising tire best p! n for
improving the harbor at Dnluth, report'd, after care
ful examination on the spot, that the most practicable
and commodious harbor, which Didn't can have, is
the Day of Superior, upon which Duluth abuts, and
which :s perfectly accessible, via the mouth of the Sf.
Louis River,
And the same officer al o considered, with much
painstaking, the other plans for a harbor i/ Dnhith,
which are urged in the Duluth interest, and rejected
them as le-s feasible than the plan recommended.
But. it may be asked, does not Duluth understand
her own interests V Is she not the best judge as to
what lean of" improvement will ben suit her purpo. es ?
Und-Hi;-t-eliy ; and right here the mist thickens. Let
us see if we cannot lift it lor a moment.
Asa community of town site speculators, whose
inte cs‘, I* is to prevent business from going to a rival
town —to divert shipping from a channel which leads
by that rival town, unquestionably Duluth is concern
ed, to get an outside harbor, and an aitiliekd • ntty to
the inside harbor, near the base of Minue.-ota 1 Vint,
so a- tl.eveoy to cfleet if possible such prevention and
diversion. This is the only ground, upon which Du
luth ca; cla'u i that she w m!d be benefited, by the im
mense and costly changes, proposed on her behalf, in
the pros mt natural harbor system.
>" a can just a< well, and much more cconom
ically, be accommodated at Ihtlnth, in the inside har
bor, through the out y at the mouth of the St. Louis
river. All the marine business of Duluth, all the com
merce of her railroad, all transactions with lake vca
re’s, can ho b tier carried on in the inside harbor than
in an “outside’’ one; c. n be as easily carried on
through the present natural entry as through au arti
ficial one. ’ i
VOL. 1.
And can she fairly ask. more than -Oris at the hands
of Congress ? Must the United States government
intervene to protect Duluth from the rivalry of Pupu
rior? Must anew route for vessels be opened by thu
government at enormous cost,-and that without secur
ing any additional conveniences for tiro commerce .of
Duluth itself, and at the imminent hazard of destroy
ing the old route, in the integrity of which" immense
vested rights are involved, for - the purpose of keeping 1
lake vessels, on their wav to and from Duluth, from
n r .
coining within the influence of the ’attraction of Supe
rior ? ...
We use our Yankee privilege to guess not; and tod
guess further that only tire corruption or ignorance of-
Oongv ■-s-nifti is counted upon to accomplish any -yeli
end. Let us have rtq more such nonsense yiron,.-a£.
that, the improvements now in progress at the entry
are fur tlio behoof of Wisconsin. only. They iVre-jhstrtfc
much in Minnesota as in Wisconsin;. Indeed the far
larger part of the work hitherto has been doJOC pu tlpt
Minn* sofa side. And the attempts of Minnesota Hep
resChtative.Vn Congress to get a special appropriation
for Duluth, ou the assumption that chfperior and.Wis
consin are e.xcluiv- ely concerned in the improve me: is
now going on at the entry, are, to draw it mild, most,
unworthy and disingenadtu.
L-itcst from the xiorth Snore Silver Mines

I ai XAKi—N OLX liV THE I'-iC.ND.
The Ontonagon Min r has now;? from these mines
up to,Jan. 6th. It says that at Silver Island ‘‘the
tli .ft it d-wr. 20 fv't; the m,no is looking as well, if
not hotter as they go down, and they are lading put
some ver\ rich rocks.”
A citizen ol’On’onagon lias received a letter from
i' :jt. John Deck, the superintendent of the mine dis
i Cover- d ia t fall on Tu .ml t Bay, from whLoh the
Minn' makes tlie following extracts:
The location is situated on Thunder Bay and east of
the Timed r Bay mine; thev an; working odveral men
and have sunk one shaft 12 feci. They were taking
oar chunks of solid silver Irom a half to a pound
weight, and the mine is getting richer every day in
solid m "i-s of silv. r. Tiny have erected some jciwu
buildings which looks as if they mean business. The,
mine has been visited by a Mr Gr iliths who s lys he
in vi r saw richer mines on tlic Pacific coast. They arc
in want of eight more miners.
One of our citizen - has received a K ttor, dated Lun
-.1 ig !Vo. l .i, fiom an old Lake Superior mining man,
now a m mber of -he Michigan la gislatme, ftom which
wo h ive b en permitted to make the following ox
tr icts; “ If is reported here that the amount of s’dvt r
being rais' and p i month at >i!vi r Island, is *loO,oto. i
This inform ition comes through Detroit sonvoes. K.
B. Ward of Detroit is budding furnaces to treat a I sil
ver i iv of Silver Island, and from other sources from
the North Shore, and he will have them ready to run
in the spring So you s c the ball is rolling.”
These are the mines winch wo referred to in the I

ada Company be D troit Capif lists. Tlio first eighty
tons ,®f ore from these mines yielded £dJMHj per t m.
and an assay of an average specimen, made by Dr. P.
S. Wall- o k of this place, yielded •?.*> 20:5.00 to the ton.
T to wHI no doubt he n great * migration of people
to those min s in tlie spring, and we would not be
surprised if numerous other veins equally as rlfh as
those above referred to, would be dtscoveredon a more
thorough exploration of the country.

A CORRECT VIEW.
*
The Pittsburgh Real Estate Register, a wide awake
journal and the loading real estate organ of Pennsyl
vania, quotes our aitielc of Jan. 21, entitled “The
StrtraTton," wherein we made a plain statement in re
gal'd to the relative natural advantages ami situation
of Duluth and Supciior, and comments thereon as fol
lows. Every one acquainted with the head of the
lake, must agree with us that the Register takes a cor
rect view of the situation here. The capitals in the
two last lines arc ours. Those two lines contain in, a
nut shell, tile whole secret of the immense newspaper
puffing Duluth has received. The Reylstet says;
• Non our experience leads ns to believe just what is
said above by the Times. It speaks, in these quota
tio s, truthfully. That any town built on a six hun
dred f-ct high (perpendicular) -lope-, ever could keep
pace with modern improvements is simply a farce,
flic dullest common sense in the world is against it.
The boasted harbor of Dulnth is so openly exposed to
the he .vy storms of the lake that a breakwater had to
b- built for its protection: which was knocked to
1 atoms the other day. This speaks well, don’t it, of
i that tine safe harbor. Then how does four to eight feet
of a ter sound for conimere'uti fiurponcs, and for “sujerrni
ary of the-,lakes' Duluth has been advertised; not
described by travelers, in the light of truth: but, try
