you say ' get out dar' like one dam dog! I like to
know if dats de way to treat a gentleman. I gues you did'n tot dat I know
I could tell you all dat! You tink now you're biggest big bug on this

But better times were in store for us. A ship canal at Sault Ste. Marie
and a railroad to the mines were in the near future. The shipping or
exportation of iron ore in either large or small quantities had not entered

thought was to manufacture either bar or bloom iron which could bear the
cost of many handlings particularly the very costly transportation over the
portage at Sault Ste. Marie.
