Michigan Crystal Falls
The only great barrier to the advance of agriculture in its various branches appears to be the fact that a vast amount of the lands in this productive country are owned by capitalists who, like the dog in the manger, "will neither eat the hay or let the ox."
As a lumbering center, Crystal Falls ranks one of the first, and is without doubt the most extensive distributing station for lumbermen's supplies that at present exists in Upper Michigan. From this point or railroad terminus, thirty or more lumbering camps, operated by the various companies, and banking logs on the Paint, Michigamme, Fence, Deer, and Hemlock rivers, are supplied, employing a large force of men and horses or mules for that
purpose.
The fact that deer and other wild game are very plentiful in the vicinity of Crystal Falls, has during the past two or three years, attracted the attention of sportsmen. All who come intent on a feast in the forest, usually go away with the avowed intention of returning another season.
