SOMETHING NEW ON THE COAST.
This towing down of a barge laden with
coal is quite a departure on the Pacific Coast
and, as j. Homer Fritch says, is liable to
revolutionize the industry, though on the
| Eastern coast bargeS carrying from 800 to
1000 tons are constantly employed carrying
coal long distances. A. NJ. Simpson d Go.
| inaugurated the business on this Coast.
| There is no doubt that ere long many other
vessels will be engaged in the industry, and
that the local shp-buiders Will have cOnsid-
cradle orders TO build bargeS for the bust
ness.
1t is learned that after the Ludlow is dis

ford, where she will load cargo OF bitumi-
nous rock for Tacoma A contract has been
entered into by the owners of the Ludlow
to carry 5000 tons of bituminoas rock from
Port Hartford to Tacoma. So far the only
vessel that has left there with load of rock
! is the schooner Signal. She took 625 tons
| and received as freight 81 80 per ton. She
arrived at Port Oxford, and put in there
weather-bound a week ago, and lay there
| three days. Her arrival at her destination
has not yet been telegraphed.
The barge Ludlow was formerly the bark
| Emerald, well known on this coast ana
owned by Pope ~ Talbot About year
ago she was burned to the deck up north
| and was then RACED and Transformed into
barge. She has two derricks for the pur-
pose of hosting cargo in and out.
