ONE RAILROAD WILL BRING MORE.
When one railroad has been constructed
to any commercial point, the tendency is,
when other tilings are equal, to bring other
railways to that point. A place may be
very unfortunately situated. It may have
a narrow site, a contracted harbor, and an
out of the way location that is difficult of
access on every hand, but if such a place
-secures one railroad, and has no rivals, it
will induce other roads to avail themselves
of the connection already there established
between land and water routes, and will in
time become a railroad centre. Much more
will a commanding site with a commodious
harbor of the first class, located in the nat
ural track of a broad commerce, invite and
draw to itself railway after railway, when
it has once made a commencement by
building, equipping, and using its first rail
road.
Rut a commencement must be made; and
by this we mean that it requires some bold
ness and enterprise to build the very first
railroad to any point however promising.
It is one thing to build a road when a com
mercial mute is already establised; it is
quite another to build a road that will es
tablish a commercial route. It is one thing
to construct a railway to a point 'where
everything is in readiness and waiting, and
quite another to strike out anew path in a
direction where only the mind of the bold
projector, and not his eye, sees the tower- ;
ing castles of trade, and the gallant ships!
that come, and go under their shadow.
The history of railway development in
America will bear out the assertion that
new routes however promising, have each
waited long for their first railroad, and then
have only seen them built by men of more
business grasp of mind, and fearlessness of
decision than the average of business men.
lint any one can follow a leader, and so the
first railroad never waits long for its fol
lowers. The majority of railroad men, too
cautious and timid, to strike out new paths
of trade, gladly throng to the support of
any capitalist, or leading business man who
by his bold and energetic measures, gives
them some tangible evidences that he un
derstands the path to success and prosperity.
Asa consequence this place lias but one
thing to do in order to realize its brightest
anticipations, and that is to build its first
railroad at once. It will be the fore-runner
of a commercial tide that will make Supe
rior in due time a great port and city.
ATTRACTIONS AROUND LAKE SUPERIOR.
It never rains but it pours. All things
seem to he pulling together at the present
time to draw people toward the Lake Supe
rior region. Is one a mining man ? He can
seek the gold of Lake Shabondawan, the
silver of Silver Islet, the copper of Kewee
naw Point, or the iron of Xegaunee and
Penoke. Is lie a lumberman? Let him
approach Lake Superior, and he finds pine
land in all quarters. Is he skilled in quar
rying? Slate, granite and brown stone
await him. Is he a real estate purchaser?
The Lake shore is dotted with thriving
young cities, all building their roads, and
enhancing values every day. Is he a man
ufacturer or wholesale dealer of enterprise?
He can locate at the head of Lake Superior
and have the .Mississippi and Red River
valleys for a market. Is he a farmer? If
he cannot bo suited in the garden soil of
those valleys he is hard to please. Is he a
man of foresight and breadth of plan ?
W here a better place to work and wait than
on the great Lake from which the North
Pacific will soon unrol its iron ribbons to
the western sea.
No need of advertising the Lake Superior
region. The combined discoveries of nat
ural resources, and steady progress of the
artificial improvement thereof, will attract
population full as fast as it can be given
pruper accommodation.
A NEW WONDER OF THE WORLD.
The valley of tlie Yellowstone in Mon
tana now being explored and surveyed by
the Engineers of the Northern Pacific R.
K., must be a singularly favored region if
the persistent reports uniformly given by
those who have visited it are half true. Mr.
Q. A. Scott, a gentleman known to many
of our readers, describes it as grand, even
in comparison with the other valleys of
Montan i which as a rule are beautiful. Its
scenery he pronounces magnificent; its soil
very rich, affording excellent farm sites; it
is well timbered; possesses gqod water
powers; anil in addition to all this has an
abundance of coal, iron, copper, silver, and
gold.
Congress lias appropriated £40,000 for
the exploration of this valley by an expe
dition und *r Dr. Hayden the geologist. A
letter to tie* Helena Herald under date of
Aug. 'Js, mentions that Mr. Moran, one of
THE SUPERIOR TIMES.
VOLUME 2.
the artists with Dr. Hayden, had returned
to Virginia City on his way home, and
more than affirms all that had previously
been said. Yet much more had been said
before. Mr. N. P. Langford contributed a
most glowing account of the wonders of
the Yellowstone to Scribner’s Monthly for
May and June. The letter spoken of as
written to the Helena Herald says:
All the phenomena described by Mess. Langford and
Trumbull have been seen, and the half was not told by
them.
At Gardner's river, seventy-five miles beyond Boze
man, they visited the hot springs, discovered sometime
before by some of the citizens of Bozeman. They are
very numerous, spreading over a vast extent of coun
try in close proximity to each other, of various tem
peratures, and in their deposits present all the beauti
fully shaded hues of the rainbow. They are highly
medicinal, and several rheumatic patients from Boze
man have built a hut there, with the intention of re
maining for the benefit of bathing until cold weather.
It appears that the geysers, or fountain
springs of Iceland, are also duplicated in
the Yellowstone region:
They had also visited the Geyser basin, and while
j there, witnessed the eruption of one geyser, not des
• ciibed by the party of last year, which by actual meas
urement projected to the height of 300 feet. Anew
geyser region has been discovered by the denizens at
the hot springs on Gardner’s river.
Another letter says of the geyser region:
One of these geysers once in thirty-two hours threw
up a column of water about eight feet in diameter to
a height of over 200 feet. Hundreds were met with
having columns from ten to fifty feet high, some play
ing all the time, and others only at intervals.
The letter first referred to says of the
valley in general:
Mr. Moran pronounces the country the most won
derful region on the continent. All the phenomena
1 which elsewhere is found scattered and distributed
s over widely separated portions of the globe, is here
crowded into a region which does not exceed eighty
miles in length. What Humboldt traveled twenty
thousand miles to see, may here be seen in a glance.
When such a wonder of the world is
traversed hy that other prodigy of modern
time, the Northern Pacific railway, it will
certainly lack neither visitors nor settlers.
Tourists will seek the Yellowstone re
gion to view its strange and sublime scen
ery. Invalids will visit its medicinal springs
and healthy clime for anew lease of life.
Farmers will develope its fertile lowlands
and mining men its richer mountain spurs,
and especially its headwaters whose Rocky
Mountain affluents are said to be each al
most a Pactolus, flowing over “sands
gold.” The head of the Yellowstone is al
most unexplored. No wonder the Indian
has so carefully guarded this his “Happy
Valley,” so long and so well.
GOLD BETWEEN VERMILION AND SILVER ISLET. I
The manuscript of a late editorial in this
paper entitled “Our Metallic Wealth” con
tains a sentence which, though not publish
ed at the time, was a prophecy of gold dis
coveries on the North Shore of Lake Supe
rior, that has since been strangely verified, j
It was in substance that gold might be
looked for on the line between Silver Islet ,
and Vermilion Lake. The new gold re- i
gion around Lake Shabondawan is situated ,
exactly on that line. It will bo conceded j
therefore by all unprejudiced persons that |
the Superior Times wields the divining rod ,
correctly, and though entertaining a very j
high idea of the resources of the Lake Su-1
perior region, is rather disposed to be too
moderate than to exaggerate in its publish
ed statements.
We condense from a late article of the
St. Paul Press the following items in refer
ence to this new and better Vermilion;
Many specimens of gold dust, nuggets and gold
bearing quartz had been brought to Fort Garry, and
so confident were the people in general, that anew
Eldorado of unsurpassed richness had been discovered,
that hundreds at once repaired to the scene of the dis
coveries, and the latest information from that region
has not only fully confirmed all previous reports, but
even exaggerated them to the extent of placing them
among the richest mineral deposits in the world, out
ranking even California and Australia.
Nows of the remarkable success in finding gold in
paying quantities had infected the sober citizens of
, Winnepeg, and the prospects seemed to be that even
the fears of a Fenian raid from Pembina would be for
; gotten in the general desire to revel among the golden
: sands of the Shabondawan.
1 Lake Shabondawan lies about forty miles due west
I from Fort William, and at least four hundred miles
from Fort Garry. This lake is only about ton miles in
length, and but two or three in width, and forms one
, of many small bodies of water in that section. It is
bounded on the south and west by a mountainous and
I broken country, through which flows several small and
j rapid streams.
Lake Shabondawan is but a short distance from Sil
| ver Islet in Lake Superior, said to be the richest silver
j mine in the world, and not over one hundred and fifty
miles distant from the copper mines of Ontonagon.
There is, therefore, reasonable grounds for believing
■ that these discoveries may prove to be as valuable as
they are reported; and that the extensive prospecting
of experienced gold hunters which is sure to follow,
may yet develop mineral resources north of Lake Su
; perior as vast as those which have attracted hundreds
of thousands of people to the western slopes of Amer
ica and the Islands of the Pacific.

THE TYPHOON OF FIRE.
Could it have been possible for one in
spile of the gale to have stood on some
lofty eminence in the central part of Mich
igan on the fatal night of Sunday October
8, he would have seen a row of towns burn
ing aru | consuming on either side of the
peninsular state. Ho would have beheld
the blazing Wisconsin forest across Lake
Michigan and Green Bay. The fires fan
ned by whirlwinds would have been seen
to seize the doomed, village ot Peshtigo,
and stream in a pyramid of name to the
very heavens. Other hamlets would kiu

die, flame, and go out in ashes. Soon a
bright light would appear near the bead of
Lake Michigan, and by the broad sheet of
flame ever widening and brightening
through the night, he would know that Chi
cago itself was consuming to ashes. Towns
on the western and eastern borders of the
State of Michigan would add their fiery
horrors to the scene, and far over in Cana
da, other villages and cities would be seen
struggling w ith the flames.
What a circle of terrors on that awful
night! What a track of desolation to be
seen the following day! 1871 will pass
into history as the year of calamities and
disasters, but will above all be memorable'
for its raging tempest of fire.
LOSS OF THE STEAMER R. G. COBURN—PARTICU
LARS OF THE CATASTROPHE—THREE LADIES
v FROM SUPERIOR GO DOWN WITH THE WRECK.
\ Mr. Thomas Holton, the bereaved hus
band of one of the lost, arrived here Thurs
day morning, and from him we get the
painful particulars, found below. Mr. Hol
ton was in Detroit where the rescued men
arrived, and was present in Capt. Ward’s
office during the court of inquiry, and had
personal conversations with the survivors.
Having the deplorable misfortune of losing
one that was near and dear to him, he spared
no exertions to ascertain full and truthful
particulars.
It seems that before, and at the time of
the wreck, there was quite a storm on the
lake, the waves rushing mad and high, bin
there was no fear or anxiety for the safety
of the boat. Sunday morning, October
15th, was the fatal day, and angry Lake
Huron, holds the dead.
Having unshipped her rudder, and get
ting into the troughs of the sea, the boat;
became unmanageable. Her deck load of ,
500 barrels of flour, and a quantity of silver
ore were thrown overboard. Her smoke
stack was lost and the steamer took fire,
but this was speedily extinguished. The
staunch boat rode the storm nobly, and but
littlp fears were entertained for her safety,
until a heavy wave struck her, causing her
to lay over on her side, and the grain in
the hold shitting, kept the unfortunate
steamer in this position, when she rapidly
filled, and 20 minutes before 7 o’clock on
that fatal morning, the steamer and all
who were left on board went down. Three
life boats with 18 men having left the steam
er before she sank, were saved.
There were thirty-two passengers in all,
eight of them being ladies. Nearly all of
the passengers were confined to their rooms
by sea-sickness, and when roused up a few
minutes before the sinking of the steamer, |
they were so sick and exhausted, that they!
expressed a willingness to die in their j
berths. Mrs. Palmer, and Miss Mary Mann, I
never left their rooms; but Mrs. Holton,!
being locked in her room, and unable to i
find her key, heroically tore the door off the
hinges, and after struggling with the sea
of water which then filled the cabin, suc
ceeded in reaching the upper deck, and was
seen standing within a few feet of the Cap
tain, when the boat sank out of sight.
Among the lost were Mrs. Marv Holton,
° ■ < - ’j
daughter of Mr. James Syer, and sister of
Mrs. I*. E. Bradshaw; Mrs. Helen Palmer,
and young son, widow of the late Alonzo
Palmer, and daughter of Judge Thomas
Clark, and sister of Mrs. Richard Relf, and
Mrs. 11. B. McLean, of this place; Miss
Mary Mann, daughter of the late Judge
William Mann, whose now sorrowing
mother and three sisters reside in Cincin-
11 at).
These three ladies were well known in
Superior. Miss Mann was a beautiful and
accomplished lady, and an excellent artist,
and was universally respected for her many
good qualities. Mrs. Holton had been here
on a visit to her parents and sister all sum
mer, and was just returning to her home in
Cincinnati, when the terrible fate met her.
Airs. Helen Palmer, was on her way to
spend the winter with relatives in Toledo,
and leaving loving relatives and kind friends
here, was buoyant with the thoughts of a
happy visit, but met a watery grave.
A gloom is cast over our city, and we
trust it may never be our duty again, to
record the loss of any so dearly loved.
The relatives have the unfeigned sympathy
of our people in their hour of bereavement,
and the memory of the lost ones will lie
long and fondly cherished.
