The price to be paid Thomas Murphy of Detroit for raising the Republic Iron Com- panv’s schooner, Magnetic, sunk above the , Sault, is $15,000, as generally reported. It is probable the boat will be relieved of her cargo and gspiling driven around her. Operations ‘on the wreck will begin at an early date: Mr. Robert Wallace, vice president of the Cleveland Ship Building Company, embarked at New York onthe White Star steamship : Teutonic last Wednesday May 28th, yesterday morning a cable message was received at the office stating that he had arrived all well in Queenstown. A trip across the Atlantic now seems tobe merely a hop, step and a little jump. The Lehigh Valley Transportation Com- pany’s new boat Tuscarora built by the Globe Tuesday afternoon with a select party aboard, she was photographed and her picture will be “a daisy”. She worked satis- factorily in every particular, and her owners and builders were much pleased with her. She left for Buffalo Tuesday evening, at 10 p- m., and had her compasses adjusted on the way down. The daily drill and duties, of the life sav- ing station at this port, during the season, will be as follows: Monday and Thursday gun drill, handling rocket and mortar apparatus, Tues- day boat drill, Wednesday international or commercial code system of signalling with flags. Friday swimming exercises and prac- tice in the method of restoring apparently drowned persons, Saturday general overhaul- ing, scrub and detail work, Sunday observed as a holy day, strict lookout kept and watches : regularly relieved. i The wide publicity given to the new V. O. 7. Line boat Alva B on her arrival here from | Buffalo was well merited, there can be no doubt but that she is the most powerful and best looking boat on the river; and as it has been recently remarked none of the other boats haa any business with her. It is gen- erally conceded here that Buffalo has learned the art of building tow boats that eclipse any- thing on fresh water, perhaps Captain Tom | Maytham has had a trifle of experience in the results attained. He is nota stranger to the liquid waters of the Cuyahoga : Work on the No. 9 at the yards of the ta Cleveland Ship Building Co., is being well advanced and she is now about two-thirds pisted, all her beams are laid. The J. H. Tron Works Co., went out fora trial trip! | Wade recently launched from these yards will soon be ready to enter into her season’s business. We hope to report at an early date ‘|a new contract for the building of another large steel steamer by the company. The extensive machine shops and boiler shop de- partment are full of work. We note a ‘|large number of new sectional wheels being turned out recently for which a good demand is visible. J. B. Hicks & Co. are building the ma- chinery for two fine yachts now building at Cassadaigua, N. Y, to the order of H. 8S. Powell. Their dimensions are 75 feet on water line, 14 feet beam and 5 feet deep, two 7 by 7 engines and twin screws are to be placed in exch boat. We learn that the firm are now figuring closely on a contract for two steam yachts to cost about $5,000 each. Samuel B. Griffiths is so well pleased with the workmanship and results obtained in his new yacht that he has about decided to place a new order with the firm for another 80 foot steam yacht. This port has been honored by the presence of the United States steamer Michigan, for the past several days. Her senior officer Commander Wadleigh, intends taking a ten days cruise east and returning here. The Michigan is nearly fifty years old and while she bas been well kept up and locks a “taut and trim’? little craft, she no longer represents the national greatness of the United States. The freight steamers can easily walk away from her, and if necessary, carry her across their quarters like a schooners yawl boat, something modern is now required tu replace the “saucy beauty.”’ The work done by the large steel steamer Pontiac would seem to bear a comment, inas- much as she has delivered at this port a par— cel of 5,500 tons of ore in exactly one week. It is said that on her last trip down she car— ried 2888 tons on a draft-of 15 feet. 11 inches. Captain Ed Morton of the Wilson Line eyi- dently gave her all she went for on this special trip. We note that Captain John Lowe was detained at home on account of sickness in his family, he will however again resume command of his steamer and she is expected to show a record of 3,000 tons be- fore the season closes. Mr. John F. Pankhurst, vice president of the Globe Iron Works Company, im speaking about their Chicago steel ship building plant, remarked that Cleveland contractors were away ahead of many of the Chicago firms, the grading, dredging, building and other contracts taken at their new yards has not been carried along with the same vim, push and energy as Ohio contractors exhibit. Mr. Luther Allen is now at Chicago facilitating operations there, and we expect to hear that the South Chicago steel shipbuilding yard will soon be under the full swing which character- izes the Cleveland yards of the company. The Cleveland Drydock Co., finished re- pairs on the propeller Siberia and docked the tug Selah Chamberlain since our last report. The two new Duluth-Superior ferry steamers now building at the yards of the company | under the superintendence of Captain Murch, | the manager of the line, are well along; and / the frames for the second boat will all be in place towards the end of this week Work is commenced on laying the deck of the first jone and 400 tons of cargo has already been | engaged for her maiden trip. The Cleveland | Press has had some rather scathing remarks | relative to these fine little buats; comparing | their models at one time to washing tubs. We fail to see however where the boats differ | from the usual form of river or ferry steam- ers, the dead rise and large deck beam being a special feature in this class of tonnage. | | | tery Saturday afternoon, DEVOTED TO NAVIGATION, COMMERCE, ENGINEERING AND SCIENCE.

Another contract which the company have nearly completed is a yacht for the Long Lake Park Company; of Akron, O., dimensions 80 feet on the water line, 14 feet beam and 5 feet hold. She will be of a re- markably light draft, and is to be fitted with twin screws, to steam 15 miles per hour. She will carry two separate engines and be filted with the Chilicothe wheel, manufactured ex- pressly for shoal water navigation; 25 h. p. will be developed from her scotch type boiler, Her estimated cost is $3,000. Chicago, Ill. Syecial to the Marine Record. Captain M. L. Edwards has been doing a big job on his schooner Cascade, the well known lightship off Chicago harbor last sea son, she came out of dry dock last Thursday where she had received fifteen new frames aft, new apron, part new keelson, 50 new stanch- ions, 60 feet new rail, new covering board, shelf piece and clamps, new deck frames and deck aft, and she is getting a new cabin on deck; $3,000 will be expended on her before she is completed. We wish the worthy cap- tain good luck with her in these hard times for sailing vessels. d sudden death was quite unexpected as he was | taken worse but a few hours before he died, | he was a German, unmarried, a thorough navigator, and was very much respected and liked. He was buried at Waldheim cemetery on Sunday. Captain Edward Warner and many of his old marine friends attended the funeral, Superintendent George Gillman of the Goodrich Transportation Company is in Mani- towoc looking after their new steamer In— dianna. She is expected here this week and will make a grand addition to the company’s fine Line of steamers, The arrivals of all classes of vessels at Chi- cago for the month of May were 1240. Captain Jesse Hurlbut has been placed in command of the steamer D. J. Foley, we wish him great success.

Napier, Charm, Captain Wm. Smith, and Minnie B, Captain A. Schultz are making excursions from daylight until midnight to the waterworks cribs, government break waters and piers. The line have purchased a scow 100 by 25 feet which is being housed over and will be used as a waiting room and ticket office and landing stage on the lake front at \ the foot of Van Buren street. It was blowing pretty hard from the south- ward last Wednesday and the schooner La- | vinda goiny out light, was driven on the gov- ernment breakwater with great force, causing her to leak badly. She was towed into the lighthouse slip and pumped out and then to pairs. Lincoln Dall aged 24 years died at the residence of his father Captain David Dall, 239 E.

Frank Boyd’s new steam yacht was launched on Wednesday afternoon, May 28. The new eraft will be the handsomest thing of the kind that floats on Lake Michigan. She is finished throughout in mahogany, cherry and walnut, and when completed her cost will exceed $20,000. Her dimensions are: Length over ull, 82 feet; beam, 13} feet; and hold, 6} feet. The body of the boat is built of white oak, the frames being bent instead of sawed, as is generally done. ‘he cabin is 22 by,12 feet, elaborately done in panel work and inlaid with mahogany.

Cheboygan, Mich. Last fall the steambarge 8. S, Wilhelm left this port with the schooners Mears and Mid- night, loaded with lumber for Buffalo. Both schooners and their cargoes were lost in the severe etorm that raged the latter part of No- vember, a day orso after their departure. The owners of the schooner Mears, last Friday, commenced suit in the United States district court, at Detroit, against the Wilhelm, claim— ing $27,778.05 damages, and allege that the steamer was not properly officered and man- aged, and that great negligence was shown by not seeking shelter in Thunder bay. The local inspectors for the district of Michigan refused to grant Homer J. Field, master of the steamer Juliet, on the Inland route, a license as pilot. He appealed to Supervising Inspector Cook, went down to Detroit, passed his examination and was granted his licence, He says that he has been informed that one of the men who sign- ed his application wrote to che local inspec- tors that he did not think he was competent for the position and this was the reason he was refused a licence by them. The license granted by the supervising inspector is for the Inland route and from Cheboygan to St. Ignace.
