STEEL SCREW STEAMER FOR THE PACIFIC COAST LUMBER TRADE. LUMBER CARRIER FOR THE PACIFIC. It was announced in the Review, a few weeks ago, that J. J. Lynn of Port Huron had been instrumental in organizing a company for the transportation of lumber on the Pa- cific coast. It is now understood that A. B. Hammond, the Marcus Daly estate and Mrs. C. P. Huntington are interested in the enter- prise. A contract for the first vessel has been placed with the Newport News Ship Building & Dry Dock Co., Newport News, Va. The plans, prepared by Capt. F. D. Herriman of the Bureau Veritas and Great Lakes Register, Cleveland, involve a novel feature in the ar- rangement of hatches. It will be noted from the drawing on this page that the hatches -- run fore-and-aft on both port and starboard | sides. This is done in order to admit of the work of loading and unloading the vessel be- ing carried on from both sides in slips spe- cially constructed for that purpose. The ves- sels are to trade from San Francisco to Eu- reka in the red wood lumber district of the Pacific. This first steamer will carry 1,500,000 ft. of lumber on 15 ft. 8 in. draught and will cost, when ready at San Francisco, $200,000. Di- mensions are: Length, 256 ft. over all; 240 ft. keel, 41 ft. beam, 20 ft. deep. Engines will be triple-expansion, 18, 28%, 48 in. by 40 in. stroke, supplied with steam from two Scotch boilers, 13 ft. in diameter and 12 ft. long. The vessel will have stateroom accommodations on the poop deck for twenty passengers. The construction of the ship at Newport News ° will be supervised by agents of the Bureau Veritas at that point.
