Statlstics from the Manistee, Mich,, District. Bpecial Correspondence of The Tribune, MANISTEE, Mich., Dec. 16.—~The manufacture and salo of pino lumber In this city during tho scason just closed has been of much larger di- mensfons than most people suppose. Bocauss our city is hidden away and cut off by not hay- fog rallrusd-communieation with the outsido world, it Is gencrally regarded o8 a place of but little importance, We havefiftcen lumber-mills here, one of whichhas not been In operation dur- ing tho past scason, because of {ts having been in litigation for some time past. These fftcen lumber-mills employ about 400 men, during tho secason, in sawing lumber, principally for the Chlengo market. We bavonlso a dozen good shingle-mills In aperation, employing nearly 300 men, Besldes these two leading artlcles, the mills make quite s large quantity of lath and pickets. In the winter season we employ about 1,500 men {nthe woods, gotting out logs for use in tho mills during the summer season. In addition to these men, a large number of oxon and horses—no less than 00 or 800—are also cnguged In logging. 1t can readily be scen that It requires a vast amount of provisions and feed to run our log- Eluz—cnmpa and the Inrge bulk of {tcomes from “hicago aud Milwaukeo. Bome of the lumber journals, and othors anxious to ot the first revort of tho amount of this buaincss done hero during the season, have been hero attempting to get the flgures, and have taken some statements made up by gucss- work; but the figures which I send you herey with are from the firat aceurate and rolfable re- porta complled by the bookkeepers of the sov- eral firms.

They bought largely of standing ing when busineas was good, snd, not having hia capltal to take fu all "tho pine-land in the world, they went beyond thelr means and pur- chased with borrowed capital.

Sherldan, 'was placed in the hands of the Commissioners of Indlan Affairs last Saturday. Col. Hatch's tet- ter communicated the fact that n band of 500 Apache Indians, known as the Platos band, who had boon sovoral years with the Comanches near tho head-waters of the Brazoos River, had sent word to him that they desired to go to the ‘Wescalaro Agettey at Fort Stanton; that they wero very poor, end that if they were traneferred it would bo necessary to furnish to them ten or twenty days’ ratlons of heci, and amilitary cscort.
