Michigan Crystal Falls
The officers, being all green hands, did many things which were not according to law or justice, and many acts that cost the township money and the successive officers lots of trouble.
The first engine arrived in town in April. There were no regular trains until after May 22, on which day the station was opened here. Previous to this, only "wild" trains came to the Falls, and the freight was delivered direct from the cars, by L. Tyler, agent, who is holding the same position up to date,—and we hope he will keep on for many years to come, unless he can get a higher position, which is very probable. The mines were meanwhile explored to the satisfaction of all concerned, and promised "big," especially the Youngstown. Under such circumstances lots sold like hot cakes, and the company saw fit to put an addition to the town site, and soon still another one. In the meanwhile the locations around the respective mines were being built up, and soon the main street in our town commenced to assume a town-like aspect.
