MINOR IN LUCK.
Columbia Captain Comes
Into a Fortune
"a Now Has o.ooo-sroush,
the Hoodoo Ship 20 This Port.
Was Always 4 Calm Man.

Captain Walter Minor. who brought
the hard-luck steamer Columbia from
Seattle to this port and who had con-
siderable trouble che way and another
with his charge and the crew and GER
tain of the passengers, is the only per
son in any way touching the vessel 90
escape the "hoodoo."
Captain Minor a few weeks ago fell
into 100000 and * now one OF the big
men OF the Sound country. He makes
the fashions in Seattle and most of the
stores OF the place remain closed till he
comes down in the morning.
1t was brought out in one of the nu-
merous Columbia lawsuits here that
for many months prior to- re-entering
the sailor business, Minor was n wa
terfront reporter for one of the Seattle
papers at a very moderate salary. He
was bright chap with a remarkable
capacity for looking wise and saying
little. Somehow he managed to- be-
come a power with the Inspection
Board that was passing on the sea-
WorthinesS and engine plants of YES
sells OF the numerous fleets entering the
klondike trade during the days of the
stampede to the gold fields OF the
frozen colorado. Minor turned this
position to such benefit for himself that
without any particular claim to- such
distinction he was called to- the COM
mand of the magnificent steamship Ari-
IONA, now the Hancock one OF the two
finest transports afioat, anu at one
time record-holder on the Western
ocean. He had his flag up on the Ari-
IONA just about four hours. IL deyel-
oped that he was guilty of an astonish-
ing error of judgment. but he scented n
better thing as master of the Column
bia, which was advertised TO become a
great Garner as liner between the
Sound cities and these Islands. IL is
more than likely that the prospect was
rather alluring. At any rate. Minor
ousted one OF the Colgrove boys and
became captain of the Columbia and
the big man afioat for the new COM
pany.
Minor was in Honolulu for weeks
and weeks. Once he started for Seat
tie from Hilo with the Columbia. but
struck a blow and came back with n
first class yarn of the deep peril. II
was noted of the man that nothing
could disturb him. Every hour on the
Columbia or ashore in this-country was
one of trouble and worry. but Minor
was always dignified, self-contained
and apparently wholly confident. On
one trip between Hilo and this port
some of the crew OF passengers secured
his photograph, painted n hangman's
moose around the neck and put the pic
ture on the captains door. Minor
smiled the same as he did when under
the cross-fire of attorney questioning
in the courts here for a couple OF
months. Nothing ruffled him. He can
not possibly have 4 more dignifiet
bearing as the possessor of Si00.00I
than he had when stranded on tn,
beach in Hawaii nei.

LARGEST PIG TONNAGE
In History of United States Produced
DDrInO tbe Month Of,July.

In History of United States Produced
During the Month ofJuly.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, August s-The
American Manufacturer and Iron
World tomorrow will say;
The largest pig iron tonnage In the
history Of the United States was pro-
duced during the month of July, the es-
tlmated production and the capacity
being figured up to August /. In gross
tons the estimated weekly output was
269,032 tons on August /, as against
256.s7S tons for the month previous,'
which shows an increase OF i2,ld tons
in weekly tonnage. The limit to pro-
duction has not been reached, however,
as a number Of furnaces went out Of
blast last month and new ones build
ing are soon to be fired.
During the last month there was an
Increase OF one active charcoal fur
mace and the weekly capacity was in
creased $40 tons. The active anthracite
and coke furnaces increased three, but
the capacity decreased 173 tons. Ten
coke and bitumInous furnaces were put
on the active list and these increased
the weekly production to 1887 tons.
making the net increase 1914 gross
tons per week.
Comparing this with the output for
the month ending August l. 1898, when
the weekly output was 210.25S tons we
have an increase in tonnage OF 5S,744 in
the weekly production; compared with
August of 1897, when ,26s tons were
produced, the increase is 10l,7a tons.
