Black Eo1 Earmina.

There is in Prince Edward island a
new development which. is attracting
great attention In, the shape of rails
ing of fur bearing animals It has
been proved that the climate of the
province is particularly suitable for
the breeding OF black foxes, and a
number of farmers have embarked In
the industry with the most profitable
results The fur of the black fox,
owing to its rarity, has become ex-
ceedingly valuable, and the commits
sioner of agriculture for Prince Ed
ward Island states that pair of live
foxes were sold recently for $4,000
and another pair for over $4,000.
The price OF this springs pups was
over $4,000 pair and 91,60O pair,
while cash deposit varying from 10
to 20 per cent is being paid for fox
cubs that are due to be born In the
spring Of 1913. Black fox farming, az
1t is called, does not entail any con.
siderable expense, the ranches con-
sisting usually of an acre Of ground
with steel wire enclosure about fifty
feet square for two pairs. containing
little houses for the animals.

I takes on freight of sugar for some
port on this side of the world Still
her earnings are not insignificant, for
she is of five thousand tons carrying
capacity and has earned as high as
$4,000 on a single run.
Many causes have contributed to the
vanishing of the sailing fleet which
once was the pride of this nation.
The principal cause is the coming of
the steamship. But within the last
few months the heavy gales that have
rayaged our coasts have brought dam
age to shipping estimated at $6,OOO,-
900, practically all of it falling on sail
ing coasting vessels.
Many of the craft that were driven
ashore, foundered or were abandoned
would never have met with disaster
had they been steam driven. Steam
power also is more economical than
sail, in that steamship can. be re-
lied upon to make her runs between
ports within given time, barring &C.
cidents, and because she is not re-
stricted to the carrying of strictly
non-perishable freights.
Steam Is Economy.
One ship master in discussing the
subject this morning drew an analogy
between the freight steamship and
the taxicab. Like the taxicab, he
said the steamship costs more to
maintain, but her earnings are so
much greater in a given length Of
time that she. is eminently worth
while to investors.
Steam within the last five years
has invaded every field formerly in
undisputed possession of the sailing
craft. The steam whaler, for exam.
pie, has become such a commonplace
that only Portuguese crews now man
the whaling briggs and schuoners of
New Bedford and Dundee. These
men. most of whom hail from the
Azores and the Cape Verde Islands.
will accept forecastle ration that no
other sailor in the world will con-
slider and will work for wages that
no other sailor will accept. Steam
has also invaded the fishing fleets
of Gloucester and Provincetown.
Old coasting shippers, who have
spent their lives navigating from the
Sound to Tehauntepec, now gaze
from the quarterdecks of their drog-
hers upon the new form of freight
carrter-the ocean going tug trailing
a tow of from three to five modern
steel barges, each built with careful
thought to cargo capacity and econ

a schooner skipper in the coasting
trade has lost his vessel because with
q bold shore under his lee he dared
not lie to, but had to make a little
sail and try with all the odds against
him to work his way to open water
The great square rugged sailing
ship, which reached such high devel-
opment under American builders and
captains that the packets between
Liverpool and New York and New
York and San Francisco made their
run with almost the regularity of
steam passenger ships, has practically
disappeared from the sea. There are
very few deep water" sailing craft
now under American registry, and
such as remain are for the most part
barkentines and brigantines and
banks of low tonnage.

ing drydock yesterday at the Union
Iron Works. When the water was
pumped out of the dock the bottom
of the vessel, particularly on the port
side, resembled an abandoned wash
board more than the shell of a peace
full tanker. The damage sustained on
the rocks at Gaviota. was extensive
and serious, and the farther the sur
vey proceeded the more the wonder
grew that the vessel had been floatd.
TIL Rosecrans was floated by the
Associated Oil Company's marine
staff. Yesterdays revelations showed
that the salvors did a wonderful piece
of work, not only in tearing the ship
from the clutches of the rocks, but
in floating what was really a sieve
from Gaviota to San Francisco.
About fifty plates will have to BE-
removed and either Strengthened or
replaced by new ones. The ships
stern frame was set over quite a bit,
and will have to be removed and
Strengthened. 1t will take twenty
eight days to make repairs and the
job will cost about $4,000.
/ The greatest damage was on the
port side, where there are many holes.
The patching by the divers before &e
vessel was pulled off the beach was
done with lumber and cement The
Rosecrans is the heaviest vessel ever
taken out of the water on any of the
floating drydocks.
