XVIII 



The river has been cleared for a distance of 40 or 50 miles, and 

 this portion of the stream has been occupied for years for lumbering 

 purposes. There are five large steam saw mills, making 25 to 30 

 millions of lumber per year, including two water mills on the 

 Little Manistee. The tributaries to this stream are the Little Manistee, 

 Pine River and Bear Creek, upon all of which lumbering operations 

 have been carried on for years. The facilities for manufacturing and 

 shipping lumber at Manistee are ample to an almost unlimited extent. 

 The large lake at the mouth affords desirable Sites for mills, and logs in 

 any quantity may be securely and easily held. The trade in lumber 

 from this point is direct with Chicago, from which it is distant about 

 175 miles.
