invested the said joint capital of the plaintiff and defendant, in certain placer ground, in terests and leases in the Otter creek district, and in pursuit of the joint adventure of plaintiff and defendant, the latter became locator of certain placer mining claims on Otter creek and its tributaries
 These mining interests, it is alleged were of record in the name of defendant M H. Marston, and an undivided one half thereof was held by him as trustee for the use and benefit of the plaintiff.
 In 1912 1t became necessary to segregate the interests of the plaintiff and defendant in the placer ground and leases, and to end the joint adventure and to dissolve the partnership, and with this end in view, on or about September 19, 1912, plaintiff and defendant executed an agreement whereby their partnership was ended, and the de fendant agreed to convey to plaintiff an undivided one-half of all the mining inter ests standing in his name, situated on Otter creek and its tributaries, and to account to and turn over to plaintiff one-halt the profits. rents and royalties which had ac- crued thereon and had been received by him.
 It is stated that defendant did in fact convey to the plaintiff an undivided interest in all the mining interests in question, but that through nadvertance and mistake there was conveyed to the plaintiff an undivided one-sixteenth interest in the Otter Creek Association mining claim, whereas plaintiff was entitled to an undivided hve-slxty fourths interest; but in fact received an un- divided one e-sixty fourth interest, less than was the purpose of the parties That de fendant has refused to convey to plaintiff the said sixty fourth interest in said claim or to account to plaintiff for the receipts therefrom.

AN EvENTFUL VOYAGE.

The Bangor schooner Augusta w.
Snow, which arrived in Baltimore the
first of last week from Rio de Janeiro
was fired upon and boarded by British
battleship on the way down to the South
American ports, but was allowed to pro-
coed after an examination of her papers
and cargo. The schooner had an eventful
trip, encountering heavy weather and
losing three men overheard. Two were
saved, but one, the engineer, was lost at
sea.
The schooner left New York in February
for Bahia, Brazil, with cargo of case
oil at an exceptionally high freight. After
discbarging at Bahia she left for Rio,
W here she took on cargo of ore at Sc. so
ton for Baltimore.
At Rio the coal fleet-Palmer and
Winslow vessels-were in port. The FIVE
master Fannie Palmer sailed before the
Snow one day, and the latter, which is
four-masted. arrived in port the same
day, the Snow being out "a days.
The Augusta W. Snow is owned chiefly
in this city and was the last vessel built
by E. & l. K. Stetson in the Brewer yard.
She was named for Mrs. Augusta W.
Snow, the wife of w. B. Snow of South
Brewer, president of the Merchants In
surance Co.
Capt. Frank w. Armstrong of Orange,
N. j., former Hampden man, is master
of the Snow. He made the same voyage
to Bahia several years ago in the schoon-
e; Marion Hill, with case oil, and although
freights were high then he got double

The WORLD AND AMERICAN SHIP
PING.

Few newspapers have been more con-
! spicuously hostile to American shipown-
ers, builders and seamen than the New
| York World, and the Worlds editorial
| remark of the other day, that the present
activity in American shipyards destroyed
all argument for subsidy, goes to show
that the World is not only hostile, but al
so ignorant of the elementary facts about
our merchant shipping. All of the large
steel steamers now under construction in
the shipyards of the United States are
adaptable SO far as size and power are
concerned to either foreign or domestic
commerce. But, as matter OF fact,
with very few exceptions, these vesse
were designed and ordered exclusively for
the coastwise carrying trade, where sub
sides have never been necessary be-
cause foreign vessels, as the World SEEM
ingly does not know, are entirely exclud-
ed. 1t is probable that if the war and its
abnormal demand for tonnage continue,
many of these new coastwise steamers
will be temporarily engaged in carrying
merchandise overseas But the fact re-
mains that they were built for domestic
business. and never would have been pro-
lected il it were not fer the protection
given to our shipping by the century-old
coastwise navigation law which some of
the Worlds friends in Congress vainly
sought to repeal last summer.
Y All this present activity in Amerit q
shipbuilding over which the World exults
is due entirely and absolutely to the
coastwise navigation law, and the abnor-
NAL conditions created by the great war
in Europe. 1t is understood that the num-
Der of new ships in hand will soon be in
creased by several large passenger and
freight steamers ordered for West Indian
commerce. But these steamers. though
not intended for the coastwise service,
are made possible by another legislative
measure which the World has bitterly
attacked-the Ocean Mail Law of 1891,
granting moderate postal subsidies to
American steamship lines in foreign COM
merce. These subsidies have been suffi-
cient to create and maintain few steam
ship services to the Caribbean region as
we'll as the American Transatlantic
Line. Any new ships built for these mail
services are, like the coastwise vessels.
the direct result of National protection
and encouragement, against which the
World has constantly protested and which
it has attempted to destroy.
These are the facts in the case of pres
ent-day American shipbuilding. If the
World can find any comfort in them it is
certainly entitled to it. But under all the
circumstances it would appear that
American shipbuilding was the very last
subject that could decently be discussed
by the New York Worlds present edi-
tors. The Marine Journal.

RAISING THE "LUSITANIA. :"

AT this writing the ''Lusitania'' is SUD-
posed to rest on fairly hard bottom in
from 300 to 400 feet of water. As sal
wage prize, the ship and some of it's cargo
are worth recovering if they can be raised
within reasonable length of time. So
far as we can learn. no intention to at
tempt recovery of the ship has been an.
nounced, and war conditions, of course.
render any possible attempt unusually
difficult. '
AND yet 1t cannot be finally said such a
raising IS absolutely impossible. although
the engineers may estimate the cost at a
figure which makes the effort impracti-
cable. Ship and cargo would represent
probably weight of, say, 40. 600 tons.
No such large vessel has ever been raised
even from less depths, hence. the nron.
lem presents difficulties which have never
been solved in actual practice.
That we have no precedent, however.
does not in itself establish an impossibi.
lily. Given apparatus of sufficient size
and strength, theoretically, of conrse il
could be accomplished. Whether or not
it would pay is another matter.
The bare possibility, however. is one
which cannot fail to interest engineer
and layman alike.
Much would doubtless depend on the
ability of divers to descend to a
depth which must establish new
records by at least 100 feet. and
to, perform any useful work after
getting down. Considerable advance
has been made of late in diving work.
and recent invention consisting of a
hollow metal sphere, now under co1struc.
ton, claims ability to PIT two uien down
1000 feet, with control of the vehicle to
permit the occupants moving it about, or
anchoring it to a ships side. Through
windows the divers could observe the
work of placing chains or cables and by
means of telephones direct the work of
those on the surface. Instead of groping
in the dark as formerly, the men above
would practically observe their own work
through the eyes of the divers, in this
way not only greatly facilitating opera
lions, but making the effort effective
where otherwise it might be largely ex-
detrimental.
1t has been suggested that an effort of
this nature would probably consist in
raising the hull few feet and dragging
1t inshore until it struck bottom; then
raising and moving forward again, until
1t reached shallow water where ordinary
divers could work for several hours at a
