LAKE SUPERIOR. 



At Marquette steamers leave daily for all South Shore ports east or 

 west. A pleasant trip is to take the steamer to MUNIS ING, a 

 pretty little town down the lake, from whence sailing excursions 

 around the wild shores of Grand Island and to the Pictured Rocks 

 on the main land always prove a "red letter" in any man's life. 



Sault Ste. Marie 



Is a city of about 3,000 inhabitants. The location of the Govern- 

 ment Ship Canal, and its naturally advantageous position at the 

 foot of Lake Superior will undoubtedly in the near future make a 

 city of no mean proportions. In the rapids at " The Soo" it is said 

 the famous white-fish originated, at least they are found there as 

 well as the trout in great abundance. The surrounding country is 

 still a great resort for wild game. Being a peninsula wilderness 

 there is a tendency to increase rather than dimmish the quantity to 

 be met with. The game is driven in this direction by the hunters 

 from Marquette and Escanaba, and then the water prevents them 

 going further.
