DULUTII.
FroffreM of tho Klxlnir Oltv of the Northwest.
In the following letter la given the latest news
from Duluth:
Duluth. St. Louis County, Minnesota, Nov
30, 1809. Dear Sir: Since my October circular
was issued suDsianuai progress nag oeen maae
in this, the new city of Lake Superior. Favored
by comparatively mild weather, and but four
inches oi snow uavmg iaiicn, uuuaing nas pro
gressed to a considerable extent. Th following
will show what actual improvements were made
during the raontn:
On Superior street, four stores and one dwel
ling house; First street, two dwellings; Second
street, one dwelling, one church: Third street.
one dwelling; Lake avenue, one dwelling; First
avenue east, two dwellings, one store; Second
avenue cast, two aweuiugs.
The Union Elevator and Improvement Com
panv, organized in Philadelphia with a capital
or $duw,uuu, uave let com rue is tor iue iouuaa
tion ot their first grain elevator at this point,
It is to havo a capacity of 300.000 bushels of
wheat, ana will cost miio.uuu. iouudation to
be completed May 1, and the entire building
August 1, 1870.
Tho Duluth Dwelt Company, orgaalzed at this
ulace with a capital of ;;o,000, are now build
lug a wharf four hundred feet long and thirty
wide, in tho outer harbor, and on the St. Louis
river, twenty-live miles above us, tho Great
Western Mining Company aro erecting build
ings for tho accommodation of workmen at
their slate quarries. In May next a large, force
will be employed in developing that important
. From a personal Inspection of tho line I am
able to state that nine-tenths of tho railroad
wnrk between Duluth and Fond-du-lac, some
eighteen miles, la done; rails are now being laid
oud so mucn or iue roan win ue nnisueu uy
New Year's. This progress enables workmen to
bo transferred to tho lino ubovo Foud-du-lac,
and nearly ensures the completion of our Lake
Supcrloraud Mississippi Railroad in good season
next summer.
Tulegraphlc couimunievtion with tho otitor
world Biid tho opening of the comfortable 'Bay
View House," make our new city more pleasant
nd attractive to strangers, while the Duluth
Library Association's tiuu .reading room and
propound rourso of lectures add to the attrac
tions which induce many to remain. By tho
railroad from St. Paul to Pino City and thence
In comfo't.iblo slciirhs to this point, tho journey
to Duluth mav soon bo inado easily and quickly.
A neat gothlc church for the Episcopal society
is finished, furnished with bell, organ, etc , and
now in use. The new Presbyterian church is
also well advanced; it Is to be built partly of
brick, forty-four by seventy feet in size, with a
spire one hundred feet high, and its auditorium
will nccommodato three hundred and fifty
persons.
Transactions In real cstato have been nume
rous. Hales are reported of lots on Superior
street at about sixty dollars per foot; on First
street at eighteen, on Second at ten, on Third at
seven, and on Minnesota Point at seven dollars
and a half.
In answer to many inquiries I w ill state that
the ordinary size of lots in the First Division is
fifty by ono hundred and forty feet; on Minne
sota Point, forty by ono hundred, but lots near
corners are frequently smaller by reason of sub
divisions made to front on tho avenues. Much
work has been accomplished In cutting out and
grading streets and in building sidewalks. 'A
contract Is made for the extension of Superior
street two miles northeasterly along tho lake
shore.
Lake Superior is still open to navigation, but
tho bay is closed by Ice. The thermometer has
not yet fallen below zero, and our weather is
quable and pleasant.
Mr. Henry A. Gould, "of Boston, Mass., who
bus visited Duluth and is in constant communi
cation with me, will bo pleased to show maps
and give particular Information to any who may
desire it.
Letters answered promptly.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
