--On Saturday morning the steam barge
Potomac with the barge Sawyer bound
up with coal, ran aground at the foot of
Bois Blanc island, within 500 yards of
the light -house. The tug Bob Hackett
went to work on her Saturday with
Kevill's lighter Picnic, and after 200
tons of coal had been trttnaferrod to the
lighter and fifty to the tug, she was pull-
ed off, early on Sunday morning. The
cargo was re -loaded at the dock here,
and the Potomac continued her trip
Sunday evening. On Monday she and
her consort again struck bottom on Her -
son's Island, St. Clair river. The tug
Winslow released them.
—The Cleve!attd Vari,te &cord says:
—"It has been stated in a local journal
that the south range light, on Bois Blanc
Inland, in -Detroit river, Is being moved
thirty-five feet westward. We leave it
on authority that this is incorrect. The
light is being moved that distance east-
ward, thus placing the range on the
Limekiln crowing farther to the east.
This is an important matter." We have
it from Itnspector Corbett, the officers in
charge of the works at Limekiln', keep-
er Hackett, and from our own personal
observations that the south or large
light was moved 35 degrees to westward,
changing the range from about White's
dock to just above the lower C. S. R.
slip. The Record is a little off.—[Am-

Tie DalroiK Matac, aml Marquette Railroad Company
NOW OFFERFOR SALE OVER 1,300,00(1 ACRES
Of the Choicest FARMING and TIMBERED LANDS in the Northern Peninsula
of Michigan,
Destined to be the best wheat -producing region in the world. These lands are situated in the
counties of Chippewa. Mackinac, Schoolcraft and Marquette. and embrace many thousands
of acres of the best agricultural lands in the State of Michigan.
Among those is the counties of Chippewa and Mackinac are tracts of what are known as
the "burnt or cleared" lands. These lands offer many advantages over the prairie lands of the
West, as the timber lands adjoining insure a supply of fuel at little colt. The soil beinngg a rich
clay loamof great depth. The timber remaining upon the land being generally sufficient. for
the settlers' use in building and fencing.
These partially cleared lands are now offered at the low price of from fI to $4.50 per acre,
one-fourth cash, and the remainder s.t purchased option. at any time within nine years, with
interest payable annually at seven p4.r cent.
Rode are being opened through these lands, and no better opportunity has ever been
offered W men of small means to secure a good farm, and intending purchasers will be wise by
availing themselves of this chance before prices advance, as the lands are heing rapidly taken
and settled upon.
The lands more immediately on the line of the Detroit. Mackinac. and Marquette Railroad
from the Straits of Mackinac to Marquette are more heat ily timbered, and are almost univers-
ally good agriculturahlaads, leaving splendid farms when the timber is removed.
The iron and lumber interests of the upper peninsula are of such magnitude as to call for
all the charcoal and lumber that the timber and wood upon the lands will produce -this will
enable the settler to make good wages while clearing the land.
Lumber Mills and Charcoal Kilns will be built at various points along the line, and Furn-
aces are now being erected along the line of the road at Point St. Ignace.
The great demand and good prices for labor. both in winterand summer, make these lands
particularly desirable as homes for the poor man. The lands adjacent the Railroad are offered
at prices from $5 upwsrde, according to location. value of timber, etc. The lands are at your
very door. and are being rapidly settled by Canadians.
