THE RIVER. 



The Detroit River is 25 miles in length, between lakes St. Clair and 

 Erie, average widlh one mile, depth 6 fathoms, current 2 miles an hour, 

 and it is estimated that at this velocity at a traverse section, opposite 

 the city, where it is con'racted to about 52 chains, it discharges 1 90,- 

 270,080 cubic feet per hour, or 3,171,168 cubic feet per minute. 



There are seventeen islands in the river. The names of these are, 

 "Clay," "Celeron," "Hickory," "Sugar," "Bois Blanc," "Elba," "Fox," 

 "Rock," "Stony," "Grosse," "Turkey," "Fighting," "Mammy Judy," 

 "Grassy," "Mud," "Belle" and " Peacli." The two latter are situated 

 a few miles above, and within sigljt of the city, near the entrance to 

 Lake St. Clair, the largest of which is Belle I>le (formerly Hog l.xland).
