THOMPSON'S COAST PILOT. 141 here, extensive lumbering establishments at Peshtigo, Oconto, Pen- saukee, and Little Swamico, which probably turn out in the agere- gate at least two million feet of lumber per week, or eighty millions per year--which added to the estimate for this place, makes a yearly product of one hundred and twenty millions. A fair amount of business, for a single county of not over 5,000 inhabitants. Menomonzze Crty, Oconto County, Wisconsin, is a thriving settlement, situated on the west side of Green Bay, near the mouth of Menomonee River, containing 2,000 inhabitants, 5 large saw mills, and several stores. The country to the west and north of this place is as yet a wilderness, inhabited only by a few roving Indians; The Menomonee River forms the boundary, in part, between Michigan and Wisconsin. GREEN BAY TO LAKE SUPERIOR. In regard to the route from Green Bay to Lake Superior, a distance of about 160 miles, the Advocate says : A. road from Green Bay to the most southerly point of Kewee- naw would be less that 200 miles in length, and while it would shorten the travel over the present route (by water) at least 100 miles, would open one of the most beautiful and fertile sections in the Union--a section which will remain unknown and unoccupied until such a road is opened by the government. The Lake Superior people need it most especially for procuring supplies, driving cattle, etc. | The traveler finds the whole distance, to within a few miles of Lake Superior, abounding in every resource which will make a country wealthy and prosperous. Clear, beautiful lakes are inter- spersed, and these have plenty of large trout and other fish. Water and water-powers are every where to be found, and the timber is of the best kind--maple groves, beech, oak, pine, etc, Nothing is now wanted but a few roads to open this rich country to the settler, and it will soon teem with villages, schools, mills, farming operations, and every industrial pursuit which the more southern portion of our State now exhibits. : cae a Pensaukzr, Puswrico, and other towns are springing up on the west shore of Green Bay, where are to be found numerous large lumber establishments situated on the streams running into the bay.
