Among other valuable woods grown in Michigan, are black walnut, hickory, ash and maple. The latter is not only important as lumber but yields a not inconsiderable crop of sugar. The last statistical census gave the yield at over four million pounds.
UPPER PENINSULA-IRON AND COPPER.
The Iron region of the Upper Peninsular embraces an area of 1, 192 square miles. This district abounds in ore of surpassing richness, remarkably free from deleterious substances, and worked with very great facility ; and these facts, together with the exceeding tenacity of the iron manufactured therefrom, have conspired to build up an industry within less than twenty years that is one of the wonders of the world. The ore mined belongs chiefly to four classes: specular hematite, magnetic. soft hematite. and second-class specular; aud in about the following proportion: 66 per cent. specular hematite; 17 per cent. magnetic ; 13 per cent. soft hematite: 4 per cent. second-class specular. These ores yield from 50 to 65 per cent. of merchantable metallic iron: and in strength and tenacity it is superior to any iron made in the world.
During 1850, the output of iron ore amounted to 1,975,602 gross tons, valued at $17,261,023. The pig iron manufactured amounted to 48,352 tons, representing a value of $1,910,080.
The above figures taken from a Lake Superior journal agree very closely with returns made to the State for purposes of taxation. The Auditor-General reports pro- duction, etc., for 1579 and 1550 as follows:

Product 1,601,519 tons, $10 lbs. 1.973,157 tons, 240 lbs $15.008 54
For the period of 25 years up to and including 1850, the gross shipments of iron ore were 15,309, 139 tons, with value of $117.061,506, and during the same period 7902: tons of pig iron were shipped.
There are 60 mines now worked.

COPPER.
The copper region of the Upper Peninsula is the largest and richest in the knowL world .. It extends 120 miles along Lake Superior, and embraces an area of 1,156 square miles. The product is natice copper, not alloyed; and it is generally so much better adapted for special purposes as to command a higher price in the markets of the world.
The Auditor-General's report for 1879 and 1880 presents the following statistics of product, taxes paid, etc.

Taxes paid 814,007 68

The product for these years is estimated to be worth $13.225,000; and for the 26 vears from and including 1855, the total value of the copper crop of Michigan is about ¥136,619,000.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Other resources of the Upper Peninsula are as follows :
Roof slating of the best quality is found in abundance.
Excellent sandstone, of unsurpassed quality for building, is found in an area of 9.982 square miles.
An excellent quality of marble is found, widely distributed.
The region has also a considerable lumber interest; and the adaptability of a consid- erable portion of it for farming purposes is becoming apparent.
THE FISHERIES
Of Michigan constitute a considerable item in her resources. Her 1,620 miles of coast line have made a fishing village of nearly every port; and among the places where the business has assumed largest proportions are Detroit and its environs, the Saginaws, Grand Haven and St. Joseph. The amount of capital invested is not far from $350,000, and the yearly "catch" is near 150,000 barrels. From these waters the markets East, West and South, are supplied with choicest sturgeon, trout, whitefish, etc.
The State has 5,000 inland lakes, and this circumstance has greatly contributed to the success of the efforts of the State in the direction of pisciculture; and it is expected that soon the large lakes and rivers of the State will be well stocked with brook and lake trout, California salmon, German carp and other fish of high commercial value.
SUMMARY OF NATURAL PRODUCTS.

In early days Michigan was regarded as a very unhealthy State, and this adverse opinion greatly retarded its settlement .: Statistics, however, show that it is among the healthiest communities in the Union. For a period of nine years the death rate (based on the official returns) has ranged from .85 per cent. in 1870 to 1.43 in 1973-being by years as follows: 1870. . 933: 1871, .851; 1872, 1.155; 1873, 1.213: 1874, 1.066: 1875. .91; 1876, .95; 1877, .98; 1878, .96.

SOURCES OF REVENLE.
The revenues of the State are chiefly derived from the taxation of all real and personal property in the State; except railways, mining companies, telegraph, express and insurance companies, etc., which pay specific taxes. The total receipts of the treasury for the fiscal year 1879 and 1880 were as follows:

VALUATION AND TAXATION.
The total valuation of the State as equalized by the State Board of Equalization is 8630,000,000. This is probably not one-half the real valuation; and by doubling it and adding values not included in the assessment, such as railway property. churches, etc .. there would result an aggregate estimated to range from $1,200,000,000 to $1,500,- 000,000.
The tax levy for the past six years has been as follows. in mills : 1876. 1.144; 1877. 1.7; 1878. 1.348: 18:9. 1.830: 1880, 1.978; average. 1.217-on an equalized valuation of 8030,000,000. The State debt being now virtually provided for, this rate is likely in coming years to be materially diminished.

RAILROADS.
The railroad system of the State forms one of the most important factors to its Progress. For some years succeeding the panic of 1873 the construction of new lines practically ceased. While from 1868 to 1874, no less than 2,128 miles were built, from 1474 to 1879 only 287 miles were constructed. In the latter year there were 4) com- panies doing business in Michigan, with a total mileage of 5,907-3,599 being in the State.
There are indications that the State, sharing in the general prosperity of the country. has entered upon a new era of railroad building. While the actual increase for 1879 and 1480 is but 354 miles, several important lines are in process of actual construction, and others are in an advanced stage of organization. Two new lines now being built are:
1. The Detroit, Mackinac & Marquette Railway-running from Mackinac to Mar. quette in the Upper Peninsula, and under contract to be finished in 1889 This line .
58

MICHIGAN STATE GAZETTEER
will be an important link in the Northern Pacific Railway system, and its benefit to Michigan will be very great, since the extension of the Jackson, Lansing & Saginaw and! Grand Rapids & Mackinac Railroads to the the Straits of Mackinac will place the two Peninsulas in close connection, and afford the rich mineral products of the Upper Peninsula a much more direct outlet to the Eastern market than has hitherto been the case. There are other railroad projects in the Upper Peninsula that will be tributary to this line with a vast amount of mineral and lumber products.
2. The Detroit, Butler & St. Louis Railroad. running from Detroit via Adrian, to Butler, Ind., where it strikes the great " Wabash system." This line will probably be in running order as soon as these pages are in the hands of the public. It will be operated by the Wabash company and will open a new and important avenue of com- merce, connecting Michigan directly with the great railway system of St. Louis and the entire South western trade of the country.
RAILROAD STATISTICS.
There are 49 railroad companies representing railroads in operation, with a mileage in the State of 3,918.
Their revenues for 1879 were $45,942,860.23: and for 1880, about $54,000,000.
The railroads paid in specific taxes in 1878, 8410,453.00; in 1879. $445.399.80; and in 1880, $504,285.62.
The portions of these roads in Michigan represented a capital stock of $104.266. - 695.15, and a debt of $105,802.008.00-aggregating a total stock and debt liability of $310,068,703.15-an average of $53,616.31 per mile.
COMMERCE AND NAVIGATION.
Michigan's position on the shores of three great "inland seas" occasioned an early and strong development of her marine interests. It has been said that the volume of commerce which floats past Detroit exceeds the whole foreign commerce of the country. In developing this commerce Michigan men and money have done their share. For two years past the number of vessels documented in the four customs districts of the State have been as follows:

SHIP BUILDING
Is an important Michigan industry. There are large ship-yards at Detroit and smaller ones at Bay City, etc. ; and at Wyandotte are the largest iron ship yards in the West. Detroit is monopolizing the ship building of the lakes. During the two years ending June 30, 1880, there were built in Michigan as follows, as per official report of the Register of the U.

MANUFACTURES.
In many manufactures Michigan particularly excels-specially those dependent upon a supply of cheap iron and lumber-of which she has so great a store. Detroit is the greatest car and car-wheel town in the world. Grand Rapids is the greatest furniture producing city in the West. The State abounds in numerous streams which offer abundant water power for milling and factory purposes. Nearly every large towa in the State is noted for some manufacture. Statistics on this subject. embracing the entire State are, however, not attainable, these having been gathered as a part of the census of 1880, not yet being in shape for summarization here.
SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.
Michigan has always been foremost in the work of popular education. Her school system is theoretically perfect. She not only maintains a complete system of common schools, but high schools abound and are employed as stepping stones to her magnificent University. Her primary and graded school statistics for the past two years are as follows:

These figures show that Michigan is behind no State, and is in advance of many. in her provisions for educating her young, in punishing her criminals and in caring for the unfortunate within her borders.
IN CONCLUSION.
We have thus endeavored to give a few plain figures regarding the "Peninsula State." There is, of course, room for expansion. The State holds 2.719. 720 acres of land for sale to settlers. The railroads already existing and those in contemplation afford a guarantee of convenient markets to settlers in almost any part of the State and make Michigan a very desirable region for immigrants. It possesses a healthy and bracing climate, greatly modified by the great lakes surrounding it; and offers settlers rich and varied natural resources, abundant land, near markets, a good soil, a thrifty government, and admirable school system and pleasant and desirable social relations. Its people claim that no State, East or West, offers superior advantages.
