erected thirty houses for his converts, and pur- 

 chased a large tract of land, on "which he located 

 them. In 1850 all the Indians had become 

 christians, land so prosperous that numerous 

 families came to settle on the Ance. Here he 

 wrote his grammar and dictionary cf the 

 Otchipwe (Chippeway) language (1851-'53), per- 

 haps the most important contribution to Indian 

 philology made hitherto. The demand for his 

 Indian books in the United States and Canada 

 contributed materially to his resources and en- 

 abled him to increase still further the village 

 on the Ance. 



The discovery of the copper mines on the 

 upper peninsula of Michigan in 1845 added to 

 Father Baraga's difficulties. A large mining 

 population from all parts of frhe world was 

 scattered among his Indian villages, and he 

 found it necessary to obtain more priests. For 

 this purpose, as well as to secure the publica- 

 tion of his works, he went to Cincinnati in 1853, 

 where he lectured on the mining resources of 

 the upper peninsula and on the harvest that 

 was open for missionary zeal there. In IN'ovem- 

 ber of the same year he was made vicar apos- 

 tolic of upper Michigan. 



In 1854 he went to Europe to procure mis- 

 sionaries, and retured with twelve priests. He 

 also introduced the brothers and sisters of Saint 

 Francis and intrusted them with the education 

 of the Indians. 



In 1856 Saut St. Mary was erected into an 

 episcopal see, and Dr. Baraga was appointed 

 its bishop in the following year. The see 

 having been transferred to Marquette in 1865, 

 he was created bishop of Marquette and Saut 

 St. Mary. His health began to fail, but his 

 brethren could not prevail on him to moderate 

 his austerities or slacken his labors. He slept 

 on the ground and often walked forty miles a 

 day on snow-shoes when visiting his Indians. 

 He was stricken with apoplexy while in 

 attendance on the Council of Baltimore in 1866, 

 and returned to his diocese broken in health, 

 but continued to perform his ministerial duties 

 till a few days before his death. — Appleton's
