HISTORY OF MICHIGAN.
THE FIRST HISTORICAL SOCIETY OF MICHIGAN
Was incorporated under authority given in the Act of June 23, 1828, with Lewis Cass, Henry Whiting, John Biddle, Gabriel Richard, Noah M. Wells, Richard F. Cadle, Isaac M'Ilvain, Zara H. Coston, Austin E. Wing, Thomas Rowland, John L. Whiting, Henry S. Cole, Jonathan Kearsley, Samuel W. Dexter, Zina Pitcher, Edwin P. James, Henry R. Schoolcraft, and Charles C. Trowbridge, charter members. .
THE STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY
Is distinct from the State Agricultural Board, the latter being simply an executive over the Agricultural College under the laws of the State. The former was organ- ized at Lansing, March 23, 1849, and was especially incorporated by Act of April 2 following, since which time it has numbered among its officers and executive members some of the foremost men of the State. It has held annual fairs in various places, and the number of entries for premiums has risen from 623 to several thousands, and its receipts from $808.50 to $58,780. The premiums offered and awarded have increased proportionally.
STATE POMOLOGICAL SOCIETY.
At an informal meeting of several gentlemen in Grand Rapids, Feb. 11, 1870, it was resolved to organize a State pomological society, and at an adjourned meet- ing on the 26th of the same month, the organization was perfected, and the first officers elected were : H. G. Saunders, president ; S. S. Fuller, treasurer, and A. T. Linderman, secretary. The society was incorporated April 15, 1871, "for the purpose of promoting pomnology, horticulture, agriculture, and kindred sciences and arts." During the first two years monthly meetings were required, but in 1872 quarterly meetings were substituted. It now has a room in the basement of the new capitol. T. T. Lyon, of South Haven, is president, and Charles W. Gar- field, of Grand Rapids, secretary. Under the supervision of this society, Michigan led the world in the centennial exposition at Philadelphia in the exhibition of Winter apples. The contributions of this society to pomological literature are also richer than can be found elsewhere in the United States.
THE MICHIGAN STATE FIREMEN'S ASSOCIATION
Was organized April 13, 1875, at Battle Creek, for " the protection and promotion of the best interests of the firemen of Michigan, the compilation of fire statistics, the collection of information concerning the practical working of different systems of organization, the examination of the merits of the different kind of fire appar- atus in use and the improvement in the same, and the cultivation of a fraternal fellowship between the different companies in the State." The association holds

its meetings annually at various places in the State, and as often publish their pro- ceedings in pamphlet form.
STATE BOARD OF PUBLIC HEALTH.
This board was established in 1873, and consists of seven members, appointed by the Governor, the Secretary ex officio, a member and principal executive officer. It is the duty of this board to make sanitary investigations and inquiries respecting the causes of disease, especially of epidemics; the causes of mortality, and the effects of localities, employments, conditions, ingesta, habits and circumstances on the health of the people ; to advise other officers in regard to the location, drain- age, water supply, disposal of excreta, heating and ventilation of any public build- ing ; and also to advise all local health officers concerning their duties, and to recommend standard works from time to time on hygiene for the use of public schools. The secretary is required to collect information concerning vital statistics, knowledge respecting diseases, and all useful information on the subject of hygiene, and through an annual report, and otherwise, as the board may direct, to dissem- inate such information among the people. These interesting duties have been performed by Dr. Henry B. Baker from the organization of the board to the present time. The board meets quarterly at Lansing.
CHAPTER IX.
MICHIGAN AND ITS RESOURCES.
The pig metal produced by the upper peninsula furnaces during the year 1880 had an approximate market value of $1,941,000 and the whole of the total output of the Lake Superior iron mines for that year was about $19,500,000. The aggregate product of these furnaces and mines between the date of the Jackson discovery and the close of the last calendar year was more than $118,000,000. The product of 1881 promises to exceed $20,000,000 in value.
THE IRON AND STEEL INDUSTRIES.
In what are called the iron and steel industries-including in these terms furnaces, rolling mills, steel-works, forges and bloomaries, and excluding mines- Michigan ranked as the eighth State in 1880 according to the figures collected for the United States census of that year. It was surpassed by Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Illinois, New Jersey, Wisconsin and West Virginia. Its increase in this production from 1870 to 1880 was sixty-five per cent., and the totals of the returns for 1880 were as follows :

THE COPPER PRODUCT.
At the close of 1880 the Lake Superior copper districts had produced $301,654 tons of refined copper valued at $142,616,137. The total output of that year was 24,869 tons valued at $9,947,673, which was taken from thirty mines. The pro- duction of 1881 will surpass that of any previous year. A paragraph which appeared in an upper peninsula newspaper stating that "the net earnings of the Lake Superior copper mines for the first half of the year 1881 exceed those of any precious metal mining state or territory in the Union," was submitted for verifica- cation to Eastern mining authorities, and elicited in reply the following statement, fully substantiating the assertion of the newspaper referred to. The figures given show the net earnings of the gold, silver and copper mines of the States and terri- tories embraced in them for the first six months of 1881:
