TAE MARINE. REVIEW 25 OGILVIE ELEVATOR ACCIDENT. The condition of the Ogilvie elevator at Fort William which started to slide into the bay on the night of May 26, is about the same and work is still going on in an effort to save the contents, which at the time of the collapse amounted to 360,000 bus. of wheat, 60,000 bus. of oats and 1,000 bus. of barley. It is claimed that all of this but about five or ten per cent will be saved because AT THE HEAD OF, THE LAKES. Duluth, June 25.--The movement of ore boats at this end of the lake is very much better. The Missabe docks alone delivered during the past week in the neighborhood of 425,000 tons. At the week's end especially. a large fleet of boats were handled. The same conditions hold true at Allouez and Two: Harbors and though there are many to be found who are deprecating the predictions SHOWING THE SLIDING OF THE ELEVATOR INTO THE HARBOR. the bins are still practically intact...The ruin of the build- ing was most peculiar. It has stood strong tests for two years, having held most of the time about 500,000 bus. of grain and was practically new. On the night of May 26 it suddenly started to slide into the bay and moved about 25 ft. It is now statiohary at an angle of about 20 degrees as shown in the accompanying pictures. Luckily only one or two people were about and nobody was hurt. The collapse, it is believed, was caused by the displacement of. the pile foundation. The working part of the house on top of the steel tanks collapsed com- pletely. The elevator, even though the steel tanks are still holding together, is practically a complete loss. It has never been fully taken over from the contractor, the MacDonald Engineering Co., of Chicago, who is under bonds to the Ogilvie company for a large amount. The elevator is of steel on the usual concrete foundation. The steamer Blanca was launched last week from the yard of John H. Dialogue & Son. This vessel has been built to the order of Pim, Forwood & Kellock, of New York for ac- count of the railway and navigation department of the Nic- araguan government and for use in the harbor of San Juan del Norte, commonly known as Greytown, Nicaragua. The Blanca is a twin-screw steamer of steel construction. Capt. Wm. E. Hoy, of the tug Record, has been sus- pended for fifteen days on account of collision between the steamer Merida and schooner Antrim. The inspectors found that the signals were properly given and under- stood, but that the Record failed to follow the course that it should have taken. of 38,000,000 tons shipments on the basis of relative ton- nages handled this year and last, ore interests, aside from the set-back due to the weather of the past week, are gratified at the situation. pes The handling of grain is seasonably dull, the following being the receipts and shipments at the upper end of the lake for seven days ending June 23.
