Gary Harbor Finest in the Chain of Lakes, Say Many.

The harbor at Gary is said by lake captains to be one of the best in the chain of great lakes. No tugs are required to reach the dock or to leave it, which is a material saving in transportation cost. This season’s navigation period at Gary is at an end, the steel corporation’s fleet having brought in the last loads of iron ore last week. There are now said to be 2,000,000 tons of ore on the dock. During the season there were 239 cargoes of iron ore left at Gary. The season witnessed the completion of the breakwater at a cost exceeding a million dollars. It required 1,750,000 feet of lumber to tuild the breakwater. This was all transported to Gary by boat.
