INCREASE IN SAILING FLEET.

N IS frequently said and written thai the steamship has driven the sailing vessel off the sca--a statement SO far devoid oi truth that nearly hali the worlds freights are carried in sailing vessels, and full hali of the tonnage of ships built the last year are 10 be propelled by the wind
 This may seem surprising fact, but 1t is only necessary to turn to Lloyd $ list to prove it That it is not more generally recognized is largely due 70 the fact that personal interests are wider with reference to passenger ves- sels and the carrying of mails The larger fleet of sailing vessels is made up of small craft and coastwisc trad CTS.
 The dcep-water commerce. except between the ports which are conncctcl | by regular lines, shows a prcpondcr- ancc of sail tonnage even greater In the Lloyd's report just issued it is shown that 70 per cent of the tonnage coming to Calcutta last year was un- der sail, and not in small ships either but great four-masted, skysail yard steel ships of 5000 tons measurement In the matter oi shpbuilding a trifc over one-third of those built in Amcri ca were sailing vessels, some of them schooners of four and five mastS car rying up to 1000 tons of dead weight But in Scotland on the Clyde :hcrc arc building more sailing ships than steam vessels
 This is, in fact a recrudescencc Of sailing ship building, and the reason i, apparent when we consider the sailing ships economy. her vast carrying ca pacity, and the fact that her very slow. ness as compared with the steamer is actually no mean advantage in a great number of instanccs-for example when goods are bought at a low mar ket and not required by the purchaser for some time, the storage is saved in the transit and a second rcsh p ment as well in many cases. The ris- ing in coal is another serious matter for steamers; and this revival, which may seem to be backward step, has in fact, no such quality, but is rather the movement oi trade in the most pro- pitous channels open to it.

ORE FROM KASAAN BAY
Two Hundred and Fifty Tons of
 Ore To Be Shipped.

The Farallon did not go into Kas- aan Bay on her last trip for the White Eagle ore, 25o tons of which is to be shipped to the shelter at Tacoma for a thorough practical test, for the reason that her captain was advised that thu wharf had not been completed owing to the inability of the management to secure the necessary lumber, say, the Ketchikan Mining Journal The frgeez- ing weather of the past two weeks Ina. had the effect of shutting down all the sawmills in this section, none ol which have heretofore deemed it nee cSsary to provide themselves with q water supply sufficiently protected, or having sufficient fall, to insure steady flow during what could be considered ordinary cold weather in a much more southerly latitude than this It is hoped to have the appliances necessary for loading the White Eagle orc read fly and in full working order in time to make a first shipment by the Faral- lon on her next trip down
