VIII ie brought Home Next Fall.

CHICAGO. April 27-"The battleship
Maine will be coming home again next
fall" said Newton f. Chamberlain to-
day. Mr. Chamberlain is the Chicago
man who has undertaken the contract to
raise the wrecked battleship now lying at
the bottom of Havana harbor.
THE Maine" he said, was not so bad
ly damaged when she was sunk as has
been generally supposed and repairs can
be easily made We find that the Maine
has not sunk one inch deeper since 1
made an examination of her two years
ago. She lies perfectly level and it is just
thirty-seven feet and six inches to solid
bottom from both bow and stern.
I'm order to float the vessel, we shall
first build a dam all around it and pump
out the water. When the water has all
been removed from the wreck the hole
in her bow will be repaired. Then, when
the water is turned in again she will rise
to the surface and will be towed to the
Havana docks for a complete overhaul

ers of sixty-six acres of land. situated in
a marsh near the banks Of Lake Erie at
Mentor. thirty miles west of this city.
have just been informed that the prop

WILL INSTdLL Il CRLSHER.

The Biwabik Mining company
prepare for new innovation at that
property in the shape of a huge ore
crusher. A crew of men, under the
direction of d.. Cameron. are now
at work upon an engine and crush
er house for the accommodation OF
the new plant, which will be a large
one.
The Biwabik is the first Mesaba
mine to install a crusher. On the
property is already shown upwards
of half million tons of hard ore
which will have to be mined by
hand and will furnish employment
to from IS to 200 men, according to
the demand for that kind of ore.
The drilling of this ore will be done
by air pressure, and the company
will put in six drills.
The handling of this ore will be
considerably more expensive than
the handling of the soft ores, but
the price is enough advanced as to
allow margin of profit for the
company.
