PAST, PSEvS&ST AND FIITIIFE. 1 1 sl^RiNCE Arthur's Landing, t\ le iLcj^ C()iniiiei'cialf;atevvay of theGivat North Wf'st, is destined ere lung to becuine a city of tlie ^reate^t import nice in tlie Dominion of Canada. SituatKl at the junction of the Lake Route with the Can- adian Pacilic Kaihvay, its position as well as its natural advantages and iniineiise resources command, and will secure foi- it, an inter- national commercial standing of the tirsi ordei — unti vailed \>y any city or town on the Continent of America. This is no visionary dream Vmt a sober stateuient of the truth which can be fully borne out as a perusal of the following sliort sketch of its history, present position and future prospects will determine- TIIE LOCATION AND SURHOUNDINGS. Prince Arthur's Landing is situ- ated at the head of Canadian navi- gation of the great inland stas ; on vhe western shores of Thunder Bay, an inlet running out '>f Lake Supe- 4T. /"* fi 84^^^^^ rior and forming one of the largest and best harbors m the world. Thunder Bay is 14 miles wide and 19 miles long and without stretch of imagination may be term- ed a land-locked liail)our On the northwest and southwest it is surrounded by the mainland; whilst on the east and southeast it is protected in an extraordinary man- ner by the immense Thunder Cape, the VVeicome and Pie Islands, and the shelter is further enhanced by the bluffs of Isle Royale, thus form- ing a sb ^t of water on which any boat may ride in safety during the severest gale or storm which ever visits the lakes, proof of which may be found in the fact that not a single boat that has sought its shel- ter in stormy weather has ever suf- fered loss in any form, or to use the words of one of the oldest captains on the Lakes " It is exposed to no serious storm and is safe from any sea except what can arise within the limited area of the Bay itself". PRINCE ARTHUR'S L A N ]) I N G Tlie hif^lilands to tho north and west thoroughly protect it from the, wind $vvepp in those directions and as a harbor therefore, its advantages may be safely deemed almost unequalled. Jt 18 the unive»-sal opinion of the captains running the boats of the Canadii^i) and American lines that Thunder Bay is a safe and commo- dious horbor for any amount of shipping, very easily approached at night or in foggy weather and that freight and passengers can be land- ed safely and without difficulty when the wind is blowing from any point of the compass. Well may Capt. J. Dick say " It seems as if "nature had intended this Bay for "the great shipping port of the "North-West". As for its natural beauty it is surpassed only by the famous Buy of Naples. As before stated the town is sit- uated on the western shores of the Bay, rising in natural terraces one above the other with great regular- ity securing it advantages for sani- tary and other purposes which a low-lying town, can never possess. The Town Plot together with the additions of O'Brien, Russell and McVicar cover an area of over 1200 acres. The population of tho town proper is about 2000 — a; pop- ulation thoroughly alive to the great future M'hich awaits their town, and whc are determined to make the most of its advantages and build up for it a name to be envied and one that shall stand proudly forth in the commercial annals of th^ Dominion. A people confident, courageous, enterprising and er.er- getic. ITS HISTORY. «',_The histoiy of Prince Arthur's Lantling. is one of no coniuion interest. Prior to the transfer of the Hudson Bay Go's, property to the Canadian Government, Thunder Bay was the habitat of the descend- ants of a few Scotchmen, who had migrated from the United States on the cessation of the War of In- dependence. When tlio Canadian Government decidetl to encourage and assist immigration to their newly-pcquired territories they fixed upon this point us the one most likely for the transfer of immigrants from the water to a land route to the north- west — a decision which is now bear- ing and which will continue to bear rich fruit. At that time one solitary log cabin formed the nucleus of the , present town. The country between here and the Selkirk settlement was extremely wild and rugged, and to facilitate the transfer of immigrants theGovcrnment decided to build a pioneer colonization road, which has since become generally and widely known as the " Dawson Route." It very soon, however, became patent that the cost and toil in- curred in this form of transport was * too great, and then was tirst con- ceived the idea of a trans-continen- tal railway from this point. Although the Dawson Route has fallen into disuse, it served a very important function in the march of the troops required to quell the disturbances and rebellion of the natives in the North West. Shortly after the ceding of the "Great Unknown Land," hi'herto held by the Goyeriior and Co. of the Hudson Buy, the inhabitants of the districts west and south of the Selkirk Settlement took up arms against tlie Government for the purpose of frustratintr and tiuUinc mmmmm ==B ■«^ w* *»-»*w WSBSSSF PRINCE ARTHUR'S LANDING msfer of perty to Thunder descend- who had States of lu- \ eniment assist pcquired )on this y for the rom the e north- ow bear- e to bear og tary of the between ttlenient ruggfd, .nsfer of t decided on road, :enerally Dawson became toil in- port was * rst con- ontinen- Dute has a very march uell the of the of (he hi'heito I Co. of itauts of I of tlje ip arms for the TiuUinc a stop to their system of immigration, and it was consequently found ne- cessary to send an armed force into the country to quell ihe rebellion. Accordingly in the year 1870 Colonel now General Sir Garnet Wolsley landed here in charge of what is known as Red River Ex- pedition, On asking the name oi the place he was informed it was called "The Station," then said he we will call it "PrincH Arthur's Landing," in honor of the Royal Prince who had been their :;ompanion in arms and who was then sojourning in Canada. From this place tht^n couuuenced the march of that noble band who were successful in firmly establish- ing the authority of the British Flag o'er all the Nortli West, even to the Pacific slopes. By these means the favourable position of this point as a town first became realized, and from that day the town has gradually, though amidst much of difficulty and anxiety, yet surely grown. In the year 1875 the first sod of the great .and national enterprise, the Canadian Pacific Railway, was turned aud a consequent impetus was given to the growth of the embryo cib^, while on the 1st day of September 1882 the last spike was driven connecting the eastern with the western section of the Canadian Faciiic Railway, and now there is an uninterrupted railway communication from this place west for over 1000 miles. The town already boasts a goodly number of Large general stores, four churches, a convent, a well- conducted and successful day school, also a separate school, a brick town hall, a stone gaol, several fine hotels, and a stipendiary magistrate's court In addition tp these the Shntinel Printing Company have erected a large and magnificent building at a great cost, at which they issue a daily and weekly edition of the pai»er. A large trade is also done in general joi) and book work, A SUMMER RESORT. Another feature of interest and success for the Landing is its position as a summer resort. The salubrity of its climate and the picturesque scenery to be found in its immediate neighborhood, render it, according to the testimony of well informed Americans, one of the most desirable of summer residences on the whole continent, and one which is e.very year becom- ing more and more appreciated by both Canadians and Aniericans, In conclusion let us ask what has Prince Arthur'.s Landing behind it to back up and support all their claims? We replv, the great North West. A land, taking the enterpri- sing city of Winnipeg as the eastern point and the Pacific shores as the western, 2000 miles in width com- prising millions of acres of the finest and most fruitful soil in the world, a land whi<-h is being rapidly populated by the bone and sinew of the old countries of Europe. England, Ireland, Scotland and Germany are teeming their hai'dy sons of toil into this immense country bv thousands each year, building new towns and villages. Already the homesteads lie numerous and smiling on the unbounded prairie, already the garnered grain of the world's storehouse is pouring in for exchange for the commodities and luxuries of eastern Canada and the mother countries. Winding in and out amidst these towns and liomesteads like a spray of silver runs the steel rail and the iron horse of the Canadian Pacific m^ssmm "*■• - . „. 1 i PRINCE ARTHURS LANDING. Railway, and not more than three years will elapse ere the mineral wealth and rich fruits of British Columbia will reach their destina tion in Eastern Canada atid Old England via the Canadian Pacific Railway and Prince Ar(hur's Landinj». Yet one more point must be "stated, viz: — That the Canadian Pacific Railway, via Tiiunder Bay. forms the shortest, easiest, and cheapest route fioni the rich store- houses of China, Japan and the Indian Archipelago to Liverpool and London. Trade between these places must very shortly be carried on over ihn Canadian Pacific Rail- way. The English merchant, always alive to speed and economy, to whom time means money, will not iong shut his eyes to the advan- tages of this route. A comparison of the distances via the Canadian Pacific Railway ,. and Quebec tc Liverpool with the route via San FrHncisco and New York sets at rest all disputes as to the feasibility of shipments being maae this way. The distances from Yokohama to Liverpool are : — Via. Thunder Bay and Montreal, 11,111 statute miles. Pacific Ocean, 4,370 nautical miles. C. P. R. Lake route, 2. 862 statute miles. Atlantic Ocean, 2,790 nautical mis. Via. San Francisco and New York, 12,038 statute mile.«. Pacific Ocean, 4,470 nautical miles. Railway, 3 395 statute miles. Atlantic Ocean, 3,040 nautical mis. This givrs an advantage for the Canadian.route of 927 miles,leaving out of question the lesser cost of transit occasioned by easier grades and other matters. This th^D assures uu thai within the next half decade, or before 1890 at tlie very latest, we shall see the silks, cottons, rice, fruits, teas and porcelains of Eastern Asia, making their way to the markets of Western Europe, via Prince Arthur's Landing That at this port they are destined to be transhipped from the Great Canadian steel highway to the hold and deck of the mag- nificent Liverpool stean-er, and at this i^lace vi.l the sturdy English, Scotch "vnd Irish emigrant Hrst place his foot permanently on Cana- dian soil. AS A MANUFACTURING CENTRE. As a manufacturing centres the town enjoys more favorable facili- ties than are possessed by any town or city in the North \Vest if not by any town west of Toronto. Its command of navigation with the east and south and railwny com- ihunication with the we.st |)ecnliarly mark it us a place adapted for manufacturing interests, and make it a point easy of access for raw niateiial as also "iving it everv opportunity for the distiibution of its manufactured goods. With every facility of water privilege, cheap fuel together with the sur- rounding vulualde mineral deposits, timber lands, and extensive fisheries it affords one of the finest openings for the safc^ investment of the Cap- italist Already one large lumber mill ib in course of erection by Mr. Thomas Marks while other enter- prises demanding C!«pital are on the ta/m. Here the cotton, wool- en, iron and paper ii dustries may find every opportunity and .scope.

Arrangements are being made for establishing next spring a sys- tem of telephonic communication throughout the town, a well con- f^ucted telegraph service being al- ready carried on. AS A PORT. As a port Prince Arthur's Landing can show a record for the past season and claims prospects for the future which w.ll vie witli if not outstiip any other port in Canada. As the Lake t^rmiinus of the Canadian Pacific Railway, and with the natural advantages before stated the future of the town can scarcely be guaged, and, as stated in the Montreal Gazette, "We are "already contemplating a rapid "increase in the trade of the town "and expect shortly to see the "wholc! front covered with docks •'and shippinir; for no city in the "woi-ld has the same country at the "back of it excepting, perhaps, "Chica>,'o". Navigation for this year was opened on tlie 28th day of April ■while the last boat for the season left the port for Dulutli on Friday Dec. 29th, thus giving 8 months of uninterupted navigation, the Bay and waters outside siill being open. During the season of navigation 230 Canadian and 32 American vessels have enteied the port, hav- inii an asjgre^ate tonnage of 193, 880 tons and have discharged 26, listens of freight, and wlien it is borne in mind that the Thunder Bay Branch of the Canadian Pacific Railwiy •' is not opened for traffic before tiio i5th da} of September', and further that many merchants in the north west had then already made contracts for the shipment of their merchandise via Duluth, it will be seen that tliis is no mean record. It may be further stated thj,t hitherto almof^t all the ship- ping trade of the port has consisted of imports from the east, but with the opening up of tha Canadian Pacific Railway it may be confi- dently asserted that the tranship- ments for export will in future fully equal tiie imports, and that ere long ships from England and Europe will enter our roads and exchange their cargoes for the gold en gr;.in and other products of the west. Many of the largest stean;boats on Canadian and American fresh waters, some as high as 2400 tons carrying capacity, have en- tered this port and discharged their cargoes at our docks during the past season. And when we call to mind that scarcely three decades have past since the ocean steamers plying between Liverpool and New York were rarely registered at more than 2500 ton=, and further it may be remarked that of the 38 merchant ships put out from the yards of the Clyde in Scotland during the month of September last, the total tonnage only amount- ed to 38,400 tons or an average of little over 1,000 tons each, itspeaks well for the capabilities of the har- bour and for our future prospects. Tlie estimate of merchandise to be landed here next season by boats fr'om the east ( an estimate based ou good foundations and con- sidei-ed by well qualified judges fairly within the mark) is 150,000 tons and, when to this is added the eastward bound freight it cannot be denied that the future of our town must l)e successful.

Tliere are already four lar^e wharves built here with freight sheds capable of accomodating the largest vessels plying on the lakes, and at a meeting of the stock- holders of the riinnder Bay For- warding and Elevator Co. I'ecentiy held, it was decided to extend their whai'f. This Co. have already a pier of 1000 feet long and 60 feet wide with a railroad track sunk in the centre 3 feet lielow the surface of the pier, thus eiiabliiii; them to transfer the freight to and from the cars with the least possil)Ie labor; they have also a freight shed capable of holding 1000 tons of freight. Over ^2-2,000 have already been spent Ijy this Co. on their properiy, and they purpose during the coming winter to widen the northerly side of tht wharf 30 a:lditional feet at>d build another freight shed 500 feet long ana 50 feet wide, thus increasnig the ware- house rooixi to over 3000 tons or a total capacity for the season of vigation of from GO.OOO to 70,000 tons The Lake Superior Dock, Forwa'ding and Elevator Co., who own one of the most valuable w iter privileges opposite the heart of the town are preparing plans for the extension, this winter, of their dock 250 feet further .nd to more tlian double the present width with three tracks running the whole length of the dock, which will enal)ie them to handle freight v/ith great rapidity. Negotiations for H [lait of their water frontage, for e.Ktensive coal docks, are now pend- with Anieriean capitalists. THUXDKH HAY FISHING. Till', fishing division in which Prince Arthur's Lmding is located com- mences at Pigeon River, the boundary line of the United L^tates, and extends m an easterly direction to the Slate Islands, a distance of about two hundred miles. It will thus be .seen that the town occupies H position about midway between the two extremities of the division, a fact which adds greatly to itu advantages as a central fishing station. Mr. James Dickson, a man of very great experience in every braiiL-h of piscation, has this section under his watchful eye in the interest of the department at Ottawa. The tish which are the most plentiful comprise t'-out, wliitfish, pickerel, he,rring, fiturgeon. ar.d brook tiout. As the season advances most of these leave the fishing grounds in the vicinity of Isle Royale, where they are to be found in the spring, for the coast of the mainland, and to give an idea of the quantities in which they are found it IS only ntnjessary to say that durimj; the fisliins; .season v.liich closed .in December of last year the Lake Superioi'Fish Company which employ only 25 men all told in the prosecution of theii trade, two steani tugs and six smacks, shipped no less than l-tl tons of fresh and f^OO packatres of salt fish to the United States, while over 25 tons of fresl) and 200 packages salt fish wore used for home con- sumption. Cov(!ring a period of ^ight years there has been colh^cted from licenses in the division the sum of $2313.00, the exoendiuire, including salaries and disburstuents $1550.00. leaving a balance of $736.00. During the same period there has been taken from the waters 17,396 barrels of fish, valued $96,216.00, over a fourth of which amount has been realized from the markets of the United States. This trade has given employment to an 11! F 44 1 ^ Ji: A R 1 H a R .s L A N D 1 xV ( J average of about 300 men. Jud,.?ing from the applications and communi- cations already received in connec tion with the acquirement of fishing sta'ions, it is believed that the comine: season will show a wonder- ful developement of the industry. With regard to the sport furnished to tourists it may with truth be said that no district, on the whole continent "lan excel it in the abun- dance and beauty of its brook trout, to say nothing of the remarkably picturesque grandeur of the country. The interesting fish stories told by persons who have visited this part of Lake Superior, and wl.ich have appeared in the columns of almost every tributary to the general American press, are as numerous as ar(! the fish themselves, and every summer l)rings the same sunburnt and expectant faces of southern anglers, who seek with a pleasing regularity the genial climate of this northern elysium. AS A MIMNG CENTRE. Few, if any, mining districts of the world contain so many and such favourable indications of mineral wealth as the country immediately surrounding Prince Arthur's Landing. Although the country has by no means been thoroughly explored as yet, the following are amongst the economic minerals discovered within a radius of one hundred miles of Prince Arthur's Landing, viz., silver, gold, copper, lead, iron, zinc, and bismuth. Of tb'^se the three first occur native and the ores of silver are, in many localities in the vicinity, of such pxtrnordinary richness as to excite the wonder of the world. The gold occurs in the quartz veins traversing the Huronian sihists in such quantity and under sudi geolo<>ical conditions as to leave no doubt that in the near future the country around Lake Shebandowan, Kash- abowie and Jack Fish Lakes will rank with the ver}' best gold producing countries in the world. The first mill of twenty stamps is now about to be erected near Jack Fish Lake, and no diubt its output will give an impetus to the de- velopement of that very promisiiig section. Of the silver mines the only one which has been extensively and systematically opened up, the "Silver Islet," has alone produced over $3,000,000, and a number of other lodes just as good are but awaiting the judicious expenditure of capital in order to bring their buried treasure to light and send bars of bullion over the land through the "Silver Gate." The deposits of the baser metals, copper, lead, iron and zinc will form a no less important factor in the future developement of our town. The reduction of th so metals from their ores Will give rise to a large and permanejit industry, and establish an immense trade the head quarters of which will be at Prince Arthur's Landing. Mining in this section is but yet in its infancy and cnsider- ing the very limited amount of expenditure and small capital in- vested the results ol'tained have been almost phenomiual. I m IS" as to exciu! ].

M^'DOUGALL The following hitter by Ca|itaiti McDougall will be tound of peculiar interest to our readers on account of the undisputed authority of the writer. It was written some years ago, when the subject was one which was occupyiusj: the closest attention of the Canadian Parliament. Captain McDougall is a man of no common ability. He has sailed some of the largest passenger propellers and freight steamships in the United States lake trade, and when we state that some years ago he was sent to Russia by a Phila- delahia Co. to locate grain elevators on the Baltic and Black Seas, it is sufficient to show that his abilities were appreciated. Our readers will also notice that manv of the prophetic sentiments expressed in this letter have been since fulhlled, and this fact alone adds great weight to those which have not yet come to pass. On Board the str. City of Dnliith. June 25tii. 1878. While visiting in Toronto tliis past winter I was called upon to go to Ottawa before the Senate Com- mittee of Investigation on the Kauiinistiquia River ttc, to give ray views as to the proper place to build a harbor, either up that river »,i at what lb known as the Town Plot, or at Piince Arthur's Landing. While befoie this commitcee I had to be rather brief in my remaiks and I had not so fully considered the matter tlien as I have done since. Having had such good opportun- ities to know all about botli places and not being interested at all with eitiier place, but simply to g,iV8 to the Government aiid people the bene- fit of my experience and judgment on this question, is the cause of my writing this letter. A harbor at the Lake Superior end of th« C.P.R, must be such as to accommodate the class of steam- ers and vessels which will do the heavy freight carrying to and from the Lake Superior terminus It will have to compete with the port of Duluth, for by the time this section is completed there will be an outlet by rail via Duluth and St. Paul for the produce of Manitoba, aiul with the superior advantages of Duluth harbor there will be a sreat struggle for the trade of the Nortli West. In a few years the new canal at the Sault will be finished and the Sault rivpr will be deepened so we shall have a channel 16 feet deep from Lake Superior, and then JjMt^Ut^'^ TTT'. ^31 PRINCE ARTHURS L A iN D 1 N (J . the clnss of crafts that will do the heavy frcii^'htinij; from hi^v will lie much larger than those now in nsp, anil most of tin steanitTs and vessels then will ili-aw fioni 15 to ITiJ, feet of water when loaded anf\ many of theni will he 250 feet lon;i,' or more, with a can y'iny cajiacity of from 1500 to lTiOO tons. We have n licet of such hoats now lun- nin,f? to IVIarquette and Duluth hut tliey cannot load toilieir fnlleapacity till the Sault canal is linished. 'i'liis is the class of boats now linildin place, t' towiiii:;, blocked numerous -ht (tc., IS every Chicago a (.ay or ir vessel ('!('■ ators and this or two three to of lake in use is one or fn 11 ler of 11 id with 1* lU N C H A \i T H U R ' S L A N i) I N O two consorts oi' vessels of atiout 1500 tons ea(.di. Such a tow goim: into Chieaiiro harbor, their tow bill.. Would be )?2.')0 or inor(^ ; tln^ same tow goinj^ up to the Town Plot would noi be l(>ss than half that cost, and after the river is doin;,' a lii:^' busiii(>ss inip;ht not lie any less, while snch a tow could get to P. A. Landing; docks and yo out a.,'ain without one dollar cost in towim^'. In all harbors as are located on creeks such as tli(> K-innnisli- quia. there is in()r(* or less such truulile, and m every instanc(? where there is such a harbor it is located at the .louth of the creek, not 4 or 5 miles up, and where tlu; banks of the river are low so (hey can build slips and canals for more room. Ijiit U]) at this Town IMot the banks of the river are so hitdi it is nerly im- possible to build slips or canals. If this pnrt of tin; lake was as much ex[iosed as it is at Chica'j;o, Milwaukee, Cleveland siid J^utl'alo, it iidi^ht be well lo have this river, althoui,di at all the above named cities, they are having an outside harbor l)uilt,by having a great long breakwater constiucted, and it is my opinion that in a few yeaid most of the busiiu'ss of these ports will be done in the outside or basin liarl)ors, particiilarlv so at Chicago. The deposit at the mouth of the Kaministitjuia and the slioal water extend so muc further out in the lake than at ar of these other creek harbors, it is my opinion that even if thent was a channel dredged wide and deep enough into and up this river, that it would be necessary to build pi^irs or some kind of protection outto der pwater All those rivers which empty into Lake Superior like the Kaniinisti- quia have their source in a very mountainous country, and their greatest freshets are in tiie month of Ju/ie, when tlw sc torrents brin? down gnat deposits which lodge at mouth. Th(! St. Louis lliver at Su])erior City, and the Ontonag- on River at Ontonagon are just sucli livers, wdiere it has cost the U. S. Government ten or fifteen years work, and several hundred thousand dollars trying to build a harbor at these plaee, while this deposit is continually making and now those liarhors are nearly as bad as hen thes(! improvements were lirst begun. Let us admit tliat there will be no ])i(!rs rec^uired at the mouth of tlie Kaministiquia, but in order to make it a harbor to accommodate the kind of craft described, it will be necessary to dredge a channel 16 fe(^t deep and 200 feet wide, or more from outside of bar, and if (he Government will ge*' a perfect surv(^y of this river, so to get; an ' estimate cost of doing this dredg- ing, to say nothing of the co.st of keeping the same in order, I think iv will friiihten most ot whom may be now in favor of this as terminus. Again, if all this is not doiie, and you try to do the business in the ' river, not properly improved, it will drive most of this trade by some other route, where they have* better facilities. The following are some of the!'' reasons why the harbor should not ' be at the Town Plot : 1st. Tlie great cost of ever get- ting a channel 10 feet deep'and 200 ' ii.^t wide all the way to this point, whil(> at P. A. Landing, nature has tnade this great harbor to have superior advantages for all classes of shipyjing, without any cost, only for ^ docks. 2nd. Cost of dredging such a ' long channel every season, rwing to T" 3=5= mm wm P K 1 JS C E A K T H U R ' S LANDING. the stream being so narrow the passing boats will always wash the banks to settle in the niiddle of the stream. This would be a great cost, and out on the bar any little blow or storm would deposit great quantities of mud and sand in the channel, if not protected by piers. 3rd. The freezing up of the rivt-r so early in the fall, which is usual- ly the most important time of the season. The closing of the Sault Ste. Marie canal is about the 1st of Dec. or later. But it is my opinion the Kaministiquia River will close two weeks earlier with an ordinary cold season, and this will loose about two weeks of the best part of the year, while at Prince Arthur's Lanning the har- bor is open for a month later. 4.th. In building ebvators on the river, you could only get one side of elevator to load from, as it is hardly possible to dig slips in these hisfh banks, while at P. A. Landing the elevatox's could be built so as to load from three sides at once, thus giving great despatch to all craft, but in the river they would have to wait their turn, same as any man who has ever sailed to rihicaso knows to > well. 5th. The banks being so much higher than the river, it will always be expensive to do much of all kinds of dock work there, and par- ticularly so when the railroad hus to run down to the river, as is now seen at the Government dock, it is very inconvenient and altogether not the place ever to do dock work with despatch and cheapnesor,which... altogether is so convenient that one tug can hardly earn a living by. , towing on so large, a fleet Each,, steamer can take their con&OLtvt (ve.=sel) and lay her up-actlie dock>f-, and again take iier, . a;A^.ay, _ wiJt|laJut^., the use ef tugs, &c. The har- bor at ?. A. Landing would have all the advantages of Marquette, and much better protected from thr storms, and also the anchorage is far superior to what they haye. At Marquette it is a common occurrence for boats to have to leave the docks in a storm, and go to anchor till the fury of the gale is over. But with all this it is even much better than doing busmess in a cramped up creek harbor. Lnt us here imagine that at P. A. Landing with the harbor as it is, ihat in the course of each season a few boats will have to leave the docks for a few hours and go out a cable; lenyith to anchor for a short time. Tliis would be trifling in com- parison to the great loss of time waiting dark nights and foggy weather to go up and down the river channel and over the Baibesidesifec. if ever there was sea enough on to drive a boat away from the dock at P. A. Lmding, it certainly would not bo safe tot boats to go over the bar in going up or down the Kam- inistiquia. In sailing into Thunder Bay w hile snowing or during foggy weather there is but little difliculty to tind the docks at P. A. Landing as the soundings nre so good, the vvator gradually shoaling all the way to the docks, and but little risk by throwing tho lead in approaching MT— i^^ll ■ ?9(H^iHiBV«M»-«*-'ainafc> k f I X PRINCB ARTHUR'S LANDli^G the shore; and again the anchor- age is so good within a cable's length of the docks and also further out < In conclusion J would say the question of a suitable terminus IS so evident that I am astonished why the people of ^.he country should hcsitateon thesubject for a moment. Here is one place with a complete harbor now to do all Ihft lut UM busiaMS of this rail way while at the other placo it will take neariy a half milli >n dollars to make it passable for such craft as must do the business of the C. P. R. And it is my opinion that if there is one million dollars spent to im- prove and make the tenuinus at the Town Plot, it will not be half as good for business as is now the port of P. A. Landing. ALEX. MoDOUGALL. ■^nlf 9»»J nit* -i^- ;.';i'. ' ''■■ - •: .: ■ 1 . :'; ..-V" i',i . .1.1 ■ •;■ i 1, . !
