She draws 6 1/2 ft. aft and 4 ft. forward with her machinery in, and leaks scarcely a drop. She is a good looking and strongly built propeller. The MINERAL ROCK will be under the command of Capt. Frazer, last year mate of the stm. ILLINOIS, and will go into the Lake Superior trade between Cleveland and Ontanagon.
