ESCANABA.
- The county seat of Delta county, is an incorporated village of 2500 inhabitants. It is beautifully situated on a point of land that divides the waters of Green Bay from those of Little Bay de Noquet ; the latter forming one of the best harbors on the whole chain of lakes. It is very easy of approach, hav- ing an entrance 3 miles in width, and a depth sufficient to float the largest 'vessels. Escanaba is reached by the C. & N. W. Rail- way, by which it is 356 miles north of Chicago, 271 from Milwaukee, and 76 south of Marquette. It is one of the three ship- ping points for the upper peninsula iron ore, and rivals Marquette in the extent of these shipments. It has two extensive iron docks, erected at a cost of $400,000, with facilities for receiving and shipping 700 loaded cars of ore per day. There are 1,950 of these cars employed between the iron mines and Escanaba, and each carries 7 12 tons at a load. Twenty-five vessels can be loaded every 12 hours. An iron furnace that cost $250,000 to build, and the finest on the upper peninsula is located here. The other material interests are a planing mill, a brewery, 3 hotels, 3 churches, 2 school buildings, a young men's reading room, and a weekly newspaper, the Escanaba Tribune. Good farming and hardwood timber land lies within a few miles of the village, and the Escanaba river, which rises in the iron region, and here flows into the lake, furnishes water power. The village was first settled in 1863. Express, American. Telegraph, Northwestern. E. P. Royce, postmaster.
