From SAN JUAN.-We learn from
Dir. Owen. of the schooner Carrie
Hayden, just up from the San Juan
Island. that the lime kiln at that
place is running at full blast now, after
a delay of one week. while the kiln
WAS shut down for repairs. The kiln is
now turning out sixty barrels Of lime
per day. This lime finds a market
principally in Portland. Victoria. Seat
tie. and other points on the Sonnd. A
cooper shop is also connected with the
kiln At which the barrels are made.
The lime is Of an excellent quality
and as the facilities for burning it are
increased and their experience becomes
more extended, the quality of the lime
will improve still more. Mr.. Owen
also informs US that the crops on the
Island will be excellent this season aud
everything Is IN q prosperous condition;
that on their way up this time they
visited the old English fort on the out
side Of the island Everything

ceeded. As the demand is already
large for a boat yard and must increase
year after year with the growth of the
city. there is certainly chance open
for some one to enter upon profitable
business in that line. We learn that a
boat yard has been profi,ably maintained
at Olympia for some time. and if such
an enterprise pays there, where the de-
mand Is 10, half 80 large as here, it
would certainly pay in Seattle.
