THE CANADA LUMBERMAN. 201 The largest raft said to be ever known on St. Claire river recently passed down from Lake Huron. It contained 3,250,000 feet. A raft of logs belonging to Noyes & Sanger, containing about 2,000,000 feet was broken up in the lake recently, while being made ready to tow to Cheboygan, Mich. Newman's mill, on Sharbot lake, near King- ston, Ont., has to be shut down twice a week to clear the eels and other fish from out the sluice and water wheel. The last clearing brought out three bushels of eels, the largest of which weighed 22 pounds. The rush to Dakota, Montana, and the terri- tories beyond is greater than last year, It is probable that Dakota will receive an accession of 100,000 to her population this year. She has now ab»ut 400,000 inhabitants. A year hence it will exceed half a million. Two sticks, each 100 feet long, were brought out of the woods at Cadillac, Mich., last week, by A. L; Scaby. They were hewed in octagon form 40 feet from the butt. They occupied three cars, and were photographed. These sticks were bound for Day on, Ohio., and are to be used in raising the soldier's monument in that city, the weight of which is 20 tons and the height SO feet. That section of the Duluth & Iron Range railroad from Two harbors, on Lake Superior, to the Vermillion Lake terminus, G8 miles in length, is nearly completed. The track is being laid with 63-pound rails, 40 miles having already been laid. Eleven locomotives have been order- ed, and six are already on the ground. Ore cars to the number of 325 have been purchased. It is expected that the road will be opened for business about August 1. A thorough exploration of Alaska is to be made this summer of the resources of that northern territory. The expedition was to start from Portland, Oregon, in the beginning of June, going to Fort Wrangal by steamer, and th
