      WORK ON "MANILA" AND "MATAAFA."
Pumps and air compressers have been taken to the stranded barge MANILA, at Encampment Island, Lake Superior, by the crew of the Reid Wrecking Co., and preparations for her release are now moving rapidly.
      The work of jettisoning the ore cargo of the stranded steamer MATAAFA at Duluth is progressing. The break in the middle will be covered with splice plates, and other apertures that admit water will be sealed. The boat will the be pumped out and an effort made to float her.

      WILL COST $50,000TO REPAIR STR ZIMMERMAN.
Cleveland, June 9. -- It will take at least two months for the Lake Shipyards to complete repairs on the steel vessels now lined up waiting to go into drydocks. The steamer ZIMMERMAN, which was sunk in collision with the SAXONA in the Soo Passage on her first trip, will be at the local shipyard for seven or eight weeks, and the repair bill will be between $50,000 and $60,000. The steamer CRESCENT CITY and barge MANILA, recently released from the beach near Duluth, will be repaired at Ohio ports and they will both be big jobs.
The MANILA will be converted into a steamer, but the change will not be made until next winter. Repairs on the MATAAFA will probably be made at Superior. Little will be known regarding the condition of the EDENBORN until she has been released at Split Rock. The steamers ROMAN, recently released, and the GRECIAN, now sunk at Detour, will have to go into drydock for repairs.

      BIG REPAIR JOB ON BARGE MANILA.
DETROIT, June 19. -- It is estimated that the steel barge MANILA will be at the Toledo yards 90 days. One hole through her tank top is as large as the whole ZIMMERMAN job. All bottom plates must come off. When the steamer now building at Toledo for G. A. Tomlinson at Duluth is launched, another one will be started for Messrs. Smith and Wilkinson. It will be a 7,500-ton vessel, about 458 feet long and 52 beam.
