Gently purcha sed from Leary, Collins and
others, foundation tor the largest wharf
on Puget Sound. This wharf will have
face of $40 feet, and run out from the
bank into the water at least two hundred
yards, and probably great deal further,
at any rate to deep water. On this wharf
will be erected buildings as follows: One
main warehouse 220 feet long and 60
feet wide, with two wings or ellis 100 feet
long each by 40 feet wide. All the piles
under the building will be heavily cop
pered to prevent the ravages of the tere-
do. Work has been commenced on this
wharf as before stated, and will be
pushed rapidly ahead until the entire
structure is completed. As soon as the
work is finished and the wharf is ready
for use all the steamers owned or con-
trolled by Willard and his associates will
make it their stopping place. There the
Puget Sound mail steamers, the coal stea>
mers and freight steamers between San
Francisco and the Sound will land their
freight and passengors.-Senttle Post-In-
telligence.

1T IS said that the old-time 8 steamer,
Eliza Anderson, now lying submerged a.
Seattle, will be resurrected once more,
and after thorough ovcrhauling be put
in service on the Sound: Capt. Thos.
Wright, formerly of the Zephyr. is said
to be the chief conspirator in the scheme.
1t is estimated that it will cost over $10,-
900 to put her in running order again.
1t would be cheaper, we opine, to build a
dew boat.
