A TOWN OF PHENOMENAL GROWTH.

only land-locked harbor on Puget Sound of sufficient magnitude to
attract the attention of commerce. It is only 28 miles

The Fairbaven & Southern Railroad, of which Fairhaven
is the deep-water terminus, is now running daily trains into the
interior 28 miles to the immense coal and iron fields of the
Skagit river, and is being rapidly pushed both east and south
to transcontinental connections. The Fairhaven & Northern is
building to a connection with the Canadian Pacific railway.
Fairhaven is the actual deep-water terminus of all transconti
nental lines. Three banks, one of them a national, are already
established. Electric lights in operation. A system of water
works is under construction, drawing its supply from Lake Pad
den, a beautiful lake two miles distant, capable of supplying a
population of 2.'.0,000. Four saw mills and two shingle mills
in operation fail to supply the demand for lumber. A $100,000
hotel being constructed of brick and stone is up to its socond
story. Several brick buildings are already occupied and more
are being erected. An Iron & Steel company, with a capital of
$2,000,000, has organized to work the ores of the Skagit mines.
Its furnaces, rolling mills, etc., will be located at Fairhaven.
The Chunkanut stone quarries are located one mile from Fair
haven. The Portland post office is built of this beautiful stone,
and large quantities of it are being shipped to Tacoma, Seattle
and elsewhere. Valuable minerals have been discovered in
the Cascades on the line of the Fairhaven & Southern and
prospecting is now being actively prosecuted.
f7Fairhaven has more actual resources at her very doors than any other place in the
west, and therefore offers splendid opportunities for investments, with positive prospects of
rapid increase.
