HOMER.
An incorporated village in the township of Homer, Calhoun county, 13 miles southeast of Marshall, 23 west of Jackson, 99 from De- troit, and 46 south of Lansing.
It is but a few years since the advent of the M. C. air line and the Lansing branch of the L. S. & M. S. R. R., transformed Homer from an inland town to a railroad center.
The country was originally a burr oak plains, and is one of the richest sections of the State. The railroads have given an impetus to its growth, and transformed it into a sprightly town of some 1,200 inhab- itants.
The Kalamazoo river, which takes its rise only about 10 miles to the southeast, and the St. Joseph, which approaches it within a mile, furnish a good water power.
The manufacturing enterprises of the town consist of a carriage factory, 2 planing mills, sash and blind factories, a foundry, 2 flouring mills, a saw mill and 2 barrel factories.
Homer is said to be one of the best wheat markets in that section of the State, no less than 70,000 bushels having been purchased and shipped during the season of 1874. It is also somewhat noted as an egg and butter market.
Its public buildings consist of a good brick union school house, and 3 churches-Episco- pal, Methodist and Presbyterian, the latter being a fine brick structure. The others are good wooden buildings, The Freewill Bap- tists have a good church only 2 miles west of the village, on what is known as Cook's plains.
Homer is well supplied with secret socie-
ties, having organizations of Masons, Odd Fellows, Grangers and Orangemen.
The Homer Index is a stirring local sheet. edited and published by Dr. W. A. Lane.
Settled 1832. Incorporated 1870. Ex- press American and United States. Tele- graph, Western Union. Edward Hender- son, postmaster.

HOUGHTON.
The county seat of Houghton county, a thrifty incorporated village of 2,500 inhabi- tants on the south shore of Portage lake, 10 miles from lake Superior on the west, as reached by the new canal opened through from Portage lake, and 14 miles from the mouth of Portage river. By water it is about go miles a little north of west from Marquette. By rail and stage it is 106 miles. The village is located on quite a steep hill side, and being almost isolated by a wide ex- panse of wilderness; from settlements to the south, the place presents to the eye of the stranger a peculiar aspect from the almost entire absence of vehicles in the streets. The village was first settled in 1854, and was incorporated in 1861. It contains the court house and jail, 3 churches, Methodist, Episcopal and Catholic, a bank, 4 hotels, of which the Douglass House is quite a first- class establishment, a large union school building, an excellent weekly newspaper, a copper rolling mill (capital $250,000), 2 stamp mills, 2 steam saw mills, a hemlock extract factory, and some other institutions. A ferry connects it with Hancock, just oppo- site. Both places are within the bounds of the mineral range of Keweenaw point, a strip from 4 to 6 miles in width extending in a northeasterly and southwesterly direction through the entire length of the Keweenaw peninsula, and beyond indefinitely. This mineral range is very rich in copper, and all the Lake Superior copper mines are included within its bounds. The mines located in the immediate vicinity of Houghton on the south side of Portage lake are the:
