STILL ANOTHER STEAMER w
Lake has i'll frame a new sternwhcel
! Ight draught steamer for Capt. Thos
i Grant, well known on Puget Sound, and
| Mr.. Cox, of the Columbia river. She
will be So feet in length, % feet beam
and 1 feet depth Of hold, with a scow

emptying into the Sound, probably the
/ Nootsack. The engines are being built
at Tacoma, as our machine shops were
all too busy TO get them out in time, and
the boiler has been ordered from San
Francisco. She will have sufficient
power 10 drive her along at a pretty
good rate and will be useful boat in

& Co., purchasers of the hulk of the
burned Mississippi, which lies sunk on
the beach at North Seattle, states that

now on his way to the Sound to raise
| the ship War Hawk, scuttled at Port
discovery recently, and Messr5. Scott &
Co. Will endeavor to arrange with him
while here to raise the Mississippi. The
work of stripping the wreck has been

asers now have over $4,000 worth OF
material on scow, which they have
| taken from the wreck, consisting of an
uninjured steam winch, two large bow
anchors, several hundred fathoms of
cable Chain, and host of other traps
most of which were uninjured by tke

WORK PROGRESSING. A gentleman
Just from the line OF the Puget Sound
| Shore Railroad, or in other words, the
| extension of the Northern Pacific from
| Tacoma to Seattle, states that there
are over 600 men at work along the line
| OF the road. The contractors are now
completing the bridge over Stuck river,
after which the work can be pushed
rapidly ahead One of the greatest
drawbacks has been the difficulty in get
ting bridge timber, much of which had
to he brought from Centervilie, Alder
ton, Tacoma, and other out of the way
places. The mill on the Stuck is now
ruu.ing auu this difficulty will soon be
obviated. This road is opening Il fine
section OF country, which will soon be
settled up ana improved.
