WEST SUPERIOR. WIS. - Whitney

sublet to Whitney Bros. by the Barnett
Record company, which has the contract
for the entire dock.
Piledrivers are already being rugged up
for beginning the work, and the aonly
thing preventing immediate construction
Is the arrival Of the short piles. Some OF
the construction timber is already ar
irving and small force Of men is en-
ployed. =
The approach for the new dock will
branch off from. the approach to No: 9
dock and will be 1890 feet inlength. This
added to the dock itself will make a strue-
ture nearly half a, mile in length. The
Great Northern calls for completion SO
that the dock can be used soon after the
season Of navigation opens. Whitney
Bros. expect to- complete their entire job
Of piling, both on land and in the water
before the ice goes out, but the other con-
tractors will necessarily be behind the
piiedrivers:~ The new dock will have but
$50 pockets built for the coming season,
however, this giving it less than half the
capacity Of the big No. 2 dock, of which
it is to be the counterpart in every di-
mension but length. ..... ~, -:
