MENOMINEE.
The county seat of Menominee county, a village claiming a population of 3,000, on the west shore of Green Bay, at the mouth of the Menominee river. It is on the C. & N. W. R. R .. 50 miles north of the city of Green Bay, and 63 south of Escanaba. Menominee is an important lumber, manufac- turing point having in the village and imme- diate neighborhood several large saw mills. The streets of the place are constructed whol- ly with sawdust. Besides its extensive Inmber interests, Menominee aspires to become an iron manufacturing point. Already a blast furnace is in full operation, its product for 1874 being 4,942 tons of pig iron, and exten- sive beds of iron ore have been developed in Menominee county, and only a branch rail- road line to the site is awaited to commence active operations. Four mines have been located, the Breen-Ingalls, the Little Sturgeon Falls, and 2 others. The railroad to the same will probably be completed before the close of 1875.
,The harbor formed by the mouth of the river is being improved by the General Gov- ernment, and when the bar is removed, ves- sels drawing 12 feet of water will be able to enter. During 1874 a $30,000 court house was built; also a brick town hall erected at a cost of $8,000. The village has a well or- ganized fire department, equipped with a
steamer and two hand engines. There are 4 churches, Catholic, Methodist and Luther- an. Also a graded school employing 6 teachers. There is also published here a good weekly paper, the Herald. Telegraph, Western Union. Express-American. Sam- uel A. Abbott, postmaster.
