Lively Locality
Fifteen years ago Clarksburg, a little village ten miles west of Ishpeming on the DSS&A had nearly as many people as this city, and bore the reputation of being just as tough as any town of its inches in Michigan.At that time the place had a sawmill, planing mill, choarcoal furnace, and other industries, employing a large number of men. Later on the furnace and the mills were cosed, and for the past ten years clarskburg has been a quiet hamlet of perhaps 200 people. The work of building the extension of the C&NW from Ishemping to Michigame has brought a great many hard characters to the country.
