Arago was built by the Union Iron
works in 1885. Her gross tonnage is placed
at 9i7 tons. The craft has long been In
the coasting trade and is one of the best
known boats in this port. or late years she
has been engaged as a collier, carrying coal
from Coos bay ports to this city. She was
commanded by Captain Reed. a competent
and careful navigator. Her full compile
ment OF men and officers was twenty-six.
At this season of the year the Coos bay
bar, as 1t is known. is usually not very
rough, though at times. IL the wind is in
the right quarter, the seas roll mountain
high. During October and November 1t Is
very difficult to tell just how the bar may
act, and navigators always approach the
entrance to the bay with more or less trep-
idation. Before the jetties were constructed
Coos bay bar had gained the reputation OF
being one of the worst bars on the coast
not excluding the once treacherous entrance
to Humboldt bay. The improvements In
of the harbor, however, have greatly re-
duced the dangers that once existed.

This dividend will bring the total paid
by the company to date UP to the hand
some sum OF half a. million dollars, and,
in the workings Of this property there
are at least five millions more in ore
blocked out and in sight.
For good and sufficient reasons the
Mercur company has passed two or
three dividends during the past ten
months, but The Herald is assured by
the management that from now on, un-
less something unforeseen happens, reg
uiar monthly dividends will be paid.
which assertion should give strength
90 the stock and cause it to advance to
the figures at which it was held four
months ago.
The Mercur company, after paying
for new and valuable ground, two new
hoists and other improvements, is now
out of debt, and there is every reason
to believe that there is now fair sailing
ahead, as recent developments have eX-
