THE NEW FERRY STRUCTURE.

The fate of the whaling brig Hidalgo
seems 10 be somewhat in doubt. A few
weeks ago news arrived from the north to
the effect that the whaler was reported
with two whales, and yesterday private
letter to Bruce, Bovine g. Co. stated that
the brig was hard and fast on the beach
near Point Hope. The news came to
Seattle on the schooner Jessie, and the
only dispatch received in this City was as
follows: 1.-THE brig Hidalgo is a wreck
on the beach about a mile from my house.
received your letter and box" This was
dated from Point Hope on July 80, and
was signed by well-known Alaskan
trader.
The Hidalgo went ashore in almost the
same place few years ego, and the ac-
companying cut is taken from a sketch
made at that time. She is, or was, one of
the old timers, having been forty-on e
years in active service. She was at one
time lumber-carrier, but recently her
main business has been whaling. The
season before last she did not fit out, and
was laid up in Oakland Creek. Last year
Captain Lew Williams took her out and
with Bruce, Bovine & Co. got her ready
for sea. During her career she was re-
markably lucky, and time and again came
back with the best catch of the season.
On this occasion she seems to have been
in hard luck. She was built in Maine in
1850, and at one time was a clipper on the
Atlantic. When she left here on the
present cruise Captain c. F. Clifford was

The State Board of Examiners is after
the State Board of Harbor Commissioners.
The new ferry depot is under discussion
and the Harbor Commissioners have to
make explanations. Numerous changes
have been made In the plans of the late
a. Page Brown, not one of which has
been approved by Chief Engineer Holmes
The board has rejected the suggestions
whenever they were made and the Risdon
Iron Works has been ordered to complete
its contract according TO speci6ca lions.

tect Swain, and the Board of Examiners

inst. and President Colnon has been sum-
moned TO be in attendance and bring all
papers bearing on the new ferry depot
with him. He Will obey the order and
place all the Information in the hands of
the board. The original plans and speci-
hcations made by the late a. Page Brown
have been ordered placed in the Safe De-
post vaults and the work of building the
depot will be done from copies. Just
what the trouble is remains to be seen,
but one thing is sure-no extra money
will be expended while Chief Engineer
Holmes is in charge of affairs.
President Colnon put himself on record
yesterday. 1--WE have a man drawing
considerable money out of that building
(the new ferry depot, and l think he
should be asked to give US some particu-
lars" said he. why can't he supply us
with the weights of the beams and the
test of the tensile strength Of the stuff !?
1 am satisfied that everything is all right,
but we must have facts and figures in or
der to answer questions when we are
called upon as in the present instance"
President Colnon will leave for Sacra-
mento on the 21st inst. and the chances
are that he will take with him all the in
formation the architect can gather on the
subject.
The question of lights in the ferry post
Office was discussed and on Chief Engineer
Holmes recommendation twas decided
10 curtaiI the number of burners. Too
many lights were provided for each man
and needless expense was entailed. An
efficient electric light service will be put in
and no one will suffer.
A passage-way from the ferries to the
postoffice will be put in, as at present
teams cannot pass when the mail wagons
are being used.
Healy, Tibbitts & Co. objected to a cut
of 500 in their bill for work done on Pa
cific-street wharf. Chief Engineer Holmes
pointed out number of alterations that
had to be made, but Mr.. Healy showed
that everything had been completed to
the satisfaction of the inspectors and a
good Job made of the structure. The mat
ter was taken under consideration.
