MINNESOTA LOSING MONEY.
san Francisco, April 1O.-Reports are
current on the nothern coast that the
mammoth steamer Minnesota, owned
by James j. Hill of the Great Northern
Railway company, will lose 100000 as
the result of her first voyage to the
Orient. Although she carried many
passengers and a cargo of $4,000 tons
of freight, the fact that the big steamer
of lighters, and at a long distance from
the usual places in the Oriental ports,
has proved one discouraging source OF
expense. 1t is said also that the cost
| of operating the Minnesota amounts tC
| $4,000 a day, or nearly twice as much
as other vessels carrying nearly as
much freight. The great draft of the
Minnesota and her slow speed appear
/ to have placed a ban upon her as q
competitor for business on the Pacific
