HE Marine Review has begun publishing with its issue of Dec. 12 the biography of the Hon. Peter White of Marquette, Mich.; or to set it more properly out, will begin the history ot the development of the iron regions of Lake Superior, for while the sketch is biographical in its nature it is inseparably linked with the development of this mar- velous northern country, and the history of one can- not well be told without the other. There will be much published that has never been told. Many facts will be brought out which make strange reading today, but which are neverthe- less incontestible. The actual manuscripts of men, living and dead, having to do with the making of this country, have been examined, and what is interesting has been taken from them. Fiction does not offer anything as fascinating as this tale of the men who did. The whole story re- volves about the Hon. Peter White, because he is the only man whose life encompasses all of it. He was there in the beginning and he is there yet. His advent in the iron region was right upon the heels of the men who actually discovered the iron deposits. With about 20,000,000 tons of ore tumbling annually upon the docks on Lake Erie, the great gate- way to the furnaces, it seems odd that 1,000 tons should ever have been regarded as an avalanche. Yet it is not so very long since 1,000 tons per annum represented the utmost output of a struggling com- pany in the Lake Superior region. The creation of railways, of docks, of canals--in fact the whole process of winning these deposits which have made the United States the great industrial nation that it is--will be told. The whole work is an attempt to tell of a phase in the development of the lake region, which, if it is not preserved now, must inevitably perish. It lives now largely in the memory of a few men. As the edition is necessarily of a limited character those who desire extra copies are advised to order them in advance. THE MARINE REVIEW PUBLISHING CO., 418-419 PERRY-PAYNE BUILDING, CLEVELAND.
