. Lake Superior to the Sea. ant chain, by mighty center of commerce, with always beyond,sentineling the horizon, the deep, silent forest — such is the journeydown the Great Lakes and River and Gulf of St. Lawrence, the mostwonderful waterway on earth. And the region traversed is one of extraordinary diversity,remarkable contrast. An empire in area, it is in great part as primeval as when thepioneer penetrated its unexplored wilds; as when the truculent red manhunted his lawful prey, scalped his enemy, or smoked the pipe of peace. Yet in sections it is highly developed. Within its confines areto be found the most productive silver, copper and iron mines inexistence, the most valuable deposits of asbestos, vast fields ofbituminous coal, and, in smaller measure, mines of gold, nickel, lead,platinum, zinc, arsenic, and corundum. Along its streams, andbordering its lakes, lie thousands upon thousands of fertile farmsthat bring forth in profusion many of the chief fruits of the earth. Canada Steamship Lines, Limited.
