JANUARY 23, 1902. ‘THE MARINE RECORD. FLOTSAM. JETSAM AND LAGAN. | Capt. ‘Samuel Neff, of Milwaukee, has let a’ contract 'to Johnson Bros., of Ferrysburg, Mich., for the construction of a Scotch type boiler to .be placed. inthe steamer, W..P, Ketcham. ‘The boiler willbe a duplicate’ of the dne it’ the steamer Pentland, about thirteen feet in length and diam- eer. t ‘walks athe wee, tue 2 TDhe Aidelst have been? taid “for2thé two 600- foot aba and’ New" York *passenger lnefsto be built by the Mary- land Steel Co., at Sparrow’s* Point; Md., for the Atlantic Transport Co. They will be twin-screw steel vessels, with a length of 600 feet, a breadth of 65 feet and*a depth of hold of 44 feet. They will register 13,750 tons, which isf2,09@ ‘tons greater than the. St. Louis or St. Paul. First- class passenget ‘accommodations will be made for 250 per- sons... Ihe -vessels -will fly the American flag. The submarine torpedo boats Pike and Grampus, which havé deen building at the YInion Iron Works, San Fran- cis¢o, ‘forthe United States Navy for some time, are now nearly completed_and_ itis expected they will be latinched about the first OF the coming month.’ Their trial trips, .both submerged and” Oi Tlie! surface, are scheduled to take place a few, days, later, as the boats. will. be prac- tically completed and’. ready’ for’ service when they are launched. The. transport’ Thofttas;. which, has. been under- going repairs at the Union Iron Works for the past two weeks has returned to the=transport docks. Work is pro- gressing..on the transport Sherman and it is expected’ she soon will be ready for service,~ ‘ Orders were received =at.Gonneaut on “Wednesday to lay up the car ferry Stenango, that runs between Con- neaut, O., and. Rort Stariley, Ont., for the remainder of the, winter season. .This tie up, which is the first in the history of the steamer, was induced by the great difficul- ties that the vessel has ‘experienced in the past few’ days vith: the. slush ice that:has..formed: along the southern shore of Lake Erie. The steamer has no difficulty cut- tHe” hef* “way “hrough “the “ordinary ice, even where it reaches a depth of two or three feet, but where the slush ice forms it rolls under, often forming ice of twenty feet in thickness. ‘The vessel had a large tonnage of advance orders for, shipments tor Canada.

' Concerning’ the relative quantity and valite: Bad cous ¢ in Algcua, and in-the west, Thomas lay Harvey* “secte- ay, of. the Superior Copper Co., says in the Sault News ecord: “In the first place, the known copper deposits in the ‘Algoma district are as latge, if not larger, than the de- tposits at iButte; Mont., the vein of the “Superior Copper feet wide. This is larger than any ,single. company, oper ating at. Butte. himself with the district to-the extent of erecting a large: smelter at Rock. Lake, at which it is proposed. to: handle custom ore, has given an impetus to copper” mining in Algoma. “There are several other reasons why the copper mines of Algoma will be..attractive mining properties, one of which isithe comparison of copper; gold, ahd silver values carried in. Algoma ores to that carried inthe ores of Montana, Arizona, Utah, the’ Anaconda, which is. the largest copper producing mine im the world, averages ~’ 4.28. percent. copper, twenty cents: gold, and $1.50 ‘silver % per, ton... In Arizona, Senator Clark’s United Verde ‘mine, located at Jerome, produces 6 per cent. copper, gold $1.00 and silyer $3.00 per ton., The Arizona. copper’ ‘thine at Clinton, Arizona, produces 4 per cent. copper, no gold or* silver:- The Boston Consolidated at Bingham, Utah, ‘produces 334 per cent. copper, $1.00 in gold and $1.00 in silver per ton. The Mountain Copper Co., at Keeswick,. Cal.,.during the last six months of 1901 produced copper “of about 3 per cent with no gold or silver values. “The Superior: copper mine in the Algoma district will average 6 per cent. copper, $1.00 in gold and from $2.50 to $5.00 in silver per ton, and the»Rock Lake ‘will average about the.same as the Superior. “The Bruce mines will average about 3% per cent. cop- per and carry small values in ‘gold and: silver. The Ox-. ford Copper Co.’s’ properties at Massey will average. 5 per cent.’copper and carry gold and silver values. , “Another very important point in favor of the Algoma district is thatthe average wages in the western mines is $3.50.per day while in ‘Algoma it is $2.00 per day.” The fact. ofi John 1 Case identifying . _ Specifications and drawings, forms of; ‘pto- Buffalo, New York; to ‘Assistant Inspector” - limit.., “20th, ‘t902. tothe Superintendents of Construction ‘of .
