sand, from sixty to seventy-five carloads
beng dumped every day.
Work will be begun tomorrow on the
line from Stockton to the Stanislaus river,
and after the tracks are laid beyond that
point the wires will be extended to Fresno.
Under the term of its lease from the har-
Dor commissioners, work must be begun
on the China basin before the 9TH of next
month. Tracks will be built on piles from
Channel 10 Illinois street, and after the
franchise on that street has been obtained
from the municipality, the filling in will
take place. Bids were received and
opened today for 100000 feet of pine and
redwood for use on tue MERGED and San
Joaquin river bridges. Sealed proposals

tween April l and July next, if the entire
amount be offered. New bids for $50 fiat

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Dec. 21.-Mis-
fortune seems determined to follow the
steamship Strathnevis to the last. She was
ordered to proceed to Tacoma this after
noon to land her passengers and cargo,
preparatory to going on the dry dock for
repairs. gale was blowing from the
southwest. Two large tugs took her in
tow, and as she was ABOUT to round Point
Marrowstone, bound up the sound, a
squall of wind came up for few moments
and the vessel became uumanageable.
Had not the tug Sea Lion rushed to the
rescue with new hawsers, the old ones
having parted, it is quite probable she
would have drifted ashore. Without
further accident she got under way for
good at o'clock.
Just as the Strathnevis was leaving Port
Townsend, United States marshal arrived
from Seattle and libe!led the vessel in be-
half of the management of the rescuing
steamer Mineola, corporation that is
controlled by the Southern Pacific Railroad
company. The libel was issued
out of the district court of Seattle and is
said to be for $l50,000. An important
point in this ma ter is now under Discus
sion between interests and parties relative
to the disposition of the salvage when re-
covered. The Mneola is chartered by the
month by the Southern Pacific, which pays
all her expenses and reaps the profits of
her voyages. The company claims the
salvage as part of the net earnings The
Canadian Pacific Steamship company
wants slice of the salvage and will ask
for modest sum, $250,000. one-third the
value of the vessel and cargo. The COM
pany sent representative here from Vic
toria to ascertain the particulars of the
service rendered the Strathnevis by the
Miowera.
NO NEARs FOR THE MIoWERA
SEATTLE, Dec. 27.-William Brown,
manager of the Canadian Pacific and
Australian Steamship company, owning
the steamship Miowera, said today that
the company had no misgivings as to the
safety of the ship. He believed that her
captain, after the hawsers parted and the
hurricane came up, had concluded that it
was time to think of his own ship and pas
sengers and valuable cargo. Also. it was
probable that he was unable to turn his
ship in the direction he had left the Strath-
nevis, owing to the terrific s,orm, so. for
fear of further endangering his own ship,
he had proceeded to Honolulu. Both the
rescuers of the Strathnevis, the Miowera
and Minola, libeled the vessel today for
salvage, each in the sum of $l5O,O00.
