shipbuiIdins In Canada.

There is a scheme afoat to re-
vive the shipbuilding industry at
Quebec. Years ago Quebec did a
large shipbuilding business, of
course entirely in wood vessels. 1t
is now proposed to enter there with
iron shipbuilding. The STEEL ship
plates to be used will be imported
from England. Freights from Eng
land to Canada are exceedingly
low in consequence Of the number
of vessels going there in ballast for
cargoes of lumber These steel
ship plates are now at the lowest
point ever known in England.
They can be laid down in Quebec
at about $25 to 500 per long ton, or
fully 20 per cent less than they
cost in Philadelphia, since they
will be admitted duty free as in
the case with all shipbuilding ma
terial. The promoters of the
scheme point out that notwith-
standing the severe depression in
freights there is constant demand
for new iron vessels nearly 100000
more tons Of shipping having been
built in 1894 than in 1898, exclu-
sive of warships, while those built
in the United Kingdom in 1894,
over 81 per cent were built of steel
and 90 per cent were steamships.
Quebec's population includes a
large number of skilled ship
wrights. Wages are lower at Que
bee than in any other manufac-
turing center in America and her
now almost deserted but conve-
nient coves and shipyards can be
leased or purchased for one-quar-
ter of what they were worth some
years ago.-Exchange.

of Interest to Managers of Plan
fations.

A Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small Engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station =? One generator
can furnish power TO your Pumps, Centri-
tugals, Elevators, Plows, Railways and
HOSTS; also furnish light and power for
q radius of from 10 to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used saves tho
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with hing priced
engineers, and only have ore engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available, it
costs nothing to generate Electric Power.
The HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY Is
now ready to furnish Electric Plants
and Generators OF all descriptions at
short notice, and also has on hand
large stock of Wire, Chandeliers, and all
Electrical Goods.
All orders will be given prompt atten-
ton, and estimates furnished for Light
ing and Power Plants; also attention is
given to House and Marine Wiring.

"Who is to be given the late

ing the water front oracles.
The ship Levi G. Burgess has
been chartered at San Francisco to
load sugar at Hilo. She is 1886
tons register and will sail in ballast.
The bark G. D. Bryant was to
leave San Francisco on the 10th
inst. for this port. She will probably
arrive before the 27th-the day on
which the Australia will be due.
Masters of ships lying in the har-
Dor do not take kindly to the trusts
new idea. They say that most of
the sugar now coming in goes to a
warehouse instead of into their yes
sells.
The steamer Cosmopolis will
leave for Hanamaulu today with a
cargo Of lumber. It has been de-
cided to cali the new vessel"Kauai."
Captain Campbell will probably go
out in charge today.
A few years ago the United
States had to import armor plate
for their war vessels. Today some
of the best armor plate in the world
is made in that country, the Beth

ceiling in this respect.
The Esther Buhne was toWed to

captain tried to make arrangements
to have the Ke Au Hou tow him out,
but Captain Campbell informed
him that the Inter-Island company
was not running in opposition to
the Government.
Experiments in France with alu-
minum for bodybuilding, while not
entirely satisfactory, warrant the
belief that, provided the bad effects
of salt water upon this metal can
be overcome or prevented, and this
seems possible, aluminium boats
will be made success.
In a recent lecture in Philadel-
phia, before the franklin Institute,
it was stated by Professor A. E.

ingly admitted by people well able
to judge, says the Maritime Regis |
ter. This fact, important as it is,
becomes of greater value by show
ing that we must per force be able |
to do as much with commercial |
vessels. Having the means and |
ability is naturally only the pre-
liminary step toward beginning
such work. Those who say there is |
no money in shipping know not of |

National Cane Shredder
CPATENTED UNDER THE LAWS 0v
THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS.

Mr.. John A. Scott, Manager
of the Hilo Sugar Company
gives the following wonderful
record of the working of the
NATIONAL CANE SHRED
DER, which was erected by
their works at the commence
ment of the crop just har-
vested:
During the past week the
Hilo Sugar Company's mill ex-
ceeded any of it's former
records by closing the 125
hours grinding with an output
of 3008 tons. This is fully 10
per cent. more than the best
work of former years.
"The three roller mill being
26 in. by 81 in. and the two
roller mill 80 in. by 60 in. The
first mill doing this amount of
work in an efficient manner
and with great ease, compared
with work on whole cane,
owing to thorough preparation
of the cane by the National
Cane Shredder, recently cree
ted by the Company. And
by its use the extrac-
tion has been increased from
3 per cent. to 5per cent. on all
kinds of cane, and in some
cases 80 per cent. has been
reached; the average being rs
to IS per cent, according to
quality.
81 continue to find the
megass from shredded cane
better fuel than from whole
cane.
"The shredder has been
working day and night for
seven months and has given
me entire satisfaction, having
shredded during that time
about seventy thousand tons
of cane, and a large part Of it
being hard ratoons. t
"The shredder and engine
require very little care or
attention"
Plans and specifications
of these shredders may be seen

OBTAINS A VERDICT FROM
THE PUBLIC.
Citizens of Salt Lake city show
Faith i'm Munyon's Remedies by
Purchasing POSTS Bottles of
His Cures in Fifteen
Days.
Unparalleled in the History of Med-
icines.

There are not words enough in the
English vocabulary by which you
could so thoroughly express the con-
fidence of the public in Munyon's new
method of treating disease as the
above true record of sales during the
past fifteen days.
Sixteen days ago he gave away $500
bottles of his remedies, absolutely free,
and since that time has sold 20575
walls. Had not eight-tenths of the
people purchasing received benefits
from the same the sale would have de-
creased so rapidly that by this time
the cures could not be found in any re-
putable drug store, and this system of
treating disease would have been de-
clared a failure. What different
state of things exists today. There is
not a pharmacist in the city that does
not carry a line of Munyon's remedies.
The sale is increasing every day. as
your druggist will tell you. Why
Because Munyon's Remedies Cure Dis
ease. The public see it, hear it and
know it. If you yet continue to take
the nauseating doses of poisonous
drugs, and pay the physician for no
relief, in the face Of such facts as
these, you deserve to suffer for your
stubbornness, and be laughed at by
your healthy neighbor, who has been
cured by these harmless little pellets,

said, will yield from, $3.50 to $500 pei
ton. The prospects are that this mine
will soon be one of the largest pro-
ducers in the camp, and great inter
est is taken in its development. The
water IN the shaft is now being handled
IN a satisfactory manner, and work &s
progressing nicely. Some more tests
are to be made and a plant will be
put up at De Lamar's Ferguson dis
trict properties.
A new strike of ore is reported in
the Rover which assays $3.50 per ton
Big things are expected.
The old Northern Light mine of the
Lyon hill group, Ophir district, made
shipment Of ore yesterday, which, ii
is claimed, viii yield as much per ton
as any ever taken from this old time
bonanza. Messrs. Clark and Kelly have
a lease on the property. and expect to
realize something good in the very
near future

FORT DOUGLAS NOTES.

Inspector General Burton put the
troops through an extended course of
field manoevres as a grand finale of
his tour of inspection here. On the last
day the regiment was ordered out in
heavy marching order and formed in
line on the parade in the usual place.
Omitting the review a column of tours
was formed and the troops were
marched down to the lower parade
ground led by the band. Then ensued
for three hours a thorough test in drill
by regiment batallions and companies.
The setting up and bayonet exercises
were not forgotten. The dog-tent
pitching was done in remarkab BILE time
Companies e and H made draw for
the championship. The former sue
ceeded in getting their tents up first
and the latter in raising theirs as if by
magic almost as quickly and having a
better line.
The first battalion was formed for at
tack facing Mount Olivet and sent out
scouts and squads who spread out like
a fan into a, skirmish line, followed by
the main firing line, the supports and
reserve, until all were engaged in a
wild charge for the works of the mag
mary enemy. A short rest and the
faint notes of the bugle was heard
sounding ASSEMBLY and shortly af-
terward the long line of heavily equip
ped infantrymen were seen heading for
the north end of the post, preceded by
paint" four men, and small squad
of fankers on each side, then the adj
vance guard. followed by the whole
regiment. This move illustrated a
march in the presence of an enemy
and was conducted in admirable order.
at least SO said the inspector.
The inspector has come and gone and
we still live.
Companies G and II are again under
canvass a mile to the extreme right.
The reservoir may or may not be
completed by November l.
A new style of marching is being
studied by some of the heavyweights.
A few scattering handbalI games is
all that is left of the once f1ourishing
athletic association.
The usual mid-week band concert will
be omitted this evening.
1t is said the quartermaster will soon
have a number of handsome rustic
seats placed on the lawn about the
band stand for the accommodation of
the many visitors from the city.

GEYsER STOCK ON SALE.
Directors Recently Ordered the Dis

Directors Recently Ordered the Dis
posaI of the Treasury Shares.
For some time past an advertisement
has been running in an evening paper
TO the effect that the board of direc-
tors of the Geyser Mining company has
ordered the sale of 5000 shares of ne
treasury stock of the company, the re-
manning ], 900 shares to be given to the
attorneys OF the company. The IN
nouncement was made that Secretary
and Treasurer Miner would receive
bids up TO last night at o'clock on the
entire block Ii looks as though the
sale never will be made. however, for
nc bidders had put in their appearance
up to last evening.
Hearing for the first time of the ac-
ton of the board of directors, Vice
President Osborn yesterday went on
the rampage and threatened to bring
suit for an injunction did the officers
or the company attempt to make the
syle Of the stock. He declared that
fhe order of sale was made without
i5;e notice. although it was recorded on
the date fixed for the holding of the
regular monthly meetings Of the board
Of directors Neither Mr.. Osborn nor
his director was present at the meet
ine. and the other side had things all
their own way. Osborn says there is
no necessity for the sale of the stock
and he shall object to any such pro-
ceedings.
r'he recent breakage at the mill has
NOW been repaired and operations are
again in full swing. Good work is be-
ing done by the plant.

that neither will know they are hurt
until after the affair is ended.
Collins and Williams are both train
ing, the former doing some good work
in reducing flesh. This match will be
one worth seeing, and bids fair to be
well patronized.
Harry Taylor is still in the city look
ing for go. 1t seems that this young
man ought to be given show of some
kind. He came here and put up the
best battle that has been seen in this
city in years for a very small purse
and won. He is classed among the
best of his kind, and if given chance
will draw better than any of the or
binary people who are trying to make
regulations by chance. With good
man of his class Taylor ought to draw
as good house and be entitled to as
large purse as either Williams or

Through the receipt Of an Official
communication from the commission
er OF the general land Office at the Of
fee Of Surveyor General Snow, very
important question relating TO the ap-
pllcation for letters patent on mining
claims and the proof necessary in or
DER to secure favorable action in the
request, has been settled. For some
time past it has been the general opin-
ion that under a recent decision of
the department it would be necessary
70 do $500 worth of work on each and
every member of a group of mines,
even though the work was applied to
the driving OF a development tunnel
which would eventually tap all of the
properties, before letters patent on
the claims could issue Now this gem
eral opinion has been reversed by the
commissioner, who holds that where
the driving of a tunnel is intended to
develop all of the claims in a certain
group the expenditure of the sum of
$500 in work on that tunnel or other
means of development would be suffi-
Client for the entire number.
This is a matter of the greatest i'm
Dortance to mine owners and other op-
orators throughout this section, for it
places the matter right for good and
all. The letter of the commissioner is
as follows:
