Superior. 



The pet of Southern Statesmen along back in the fifties, seems 

 to have been sleeping while its sponsors were away. The city of 

 Superior is situated upon a broad plateau, high above the bay, and 

 boasts of a harbor unsurpassed on the Great Lakes. It can hardly 

 count more than 2,000 people, although the site covers more ground 

 than any other city in the state. 



West Superior, (New Town) 



Is situated on St. Louis Bay, west of the older town, and opposite 

 Rice's Point a part of Duluth. The C., St. P., M. & O. Railway Co. 

 have lately constructed a bridge over the intervening channel. 

 Traffic between Duluth and the east is benefited thereby to the 

 extent of several hours time, and much trouble and vexation, espec- 

 ially in the cold season. 



Passing eastward from Superior along the Northern Pacific line 

 innumerable streams are crossed. They are all good for fishing, 

 especially the Brule, which is already considerably talked of.
