For The Year 1890

The rail shipments of ore over the DSS&A have been comput-
ed for the year 1890 and were 186,149 gross tons. There were
shipped by lake from the Marquette docks during the season
1,316,353 tons handled by that road. The shipments from the
St. Ignace dock were 15,911 tons making a total of 1,518,413
tons handled by the road during the season. The increase in
rail shipments for the year much more than makes up for the
slight falling off in the shipments from this port, owing
to the blockade of the Sault canal at the time of the break-
down in the lock.
