EARLY TYPE.
portation of iron oro, whioh, by tho
way, confers at Cleveland, and not Chi
cago, was booming too. Captains in no
cases had to hustlofor business. On the
contrary, they had to linstlo to keop up
with tho business that was waiting to
bo done. The noar approach of tho Chi
sago World’s fair coutrlbntod its share
to tho rush, of coarse, and it Boemod to
all concerned—transportation firms and
companies, shippers, captains and sail
as if tlioro could bo no diminution
in the rate of development of inland
navigation.
I luvo not tho totals of tho lako busi
ness done in 1893, but thero were 10,-
35G arrivals at this port, tho freights
amounting to 6,960,63G tonB. This was
tho largest tonnage ever rooordod hero,
though in tho earlier days of smnller
vosselB tho arrivals ono yoar ran up to
13,000 and moro. Tho big business of
1803 provod a groat stimulus to vossol
building, and in 1808 tho total tonnago
of the lakes amounted to 1,361,000.
The Future of Lako Navigation.
Still Captain Dunham docs not do-
spair regarding tho future development
of lako navigation. Ho believes that tho
general business of the country will im
prove from this on, and with it, of
course, tho shipping of tho lake ports.
Ho has beon interested in fresh water
vessels for many years, and he dolights
to talk of old times, bnt it pleases him
still moro to talk, of tho iatoro.
“The time is coming,” ho said to me
today, “whon the stoamships of tho
lakes will bo almost os largo and almost
ns swift as tho big liners of salt wntor.
Some of onr present boats nro wonders.
It would not have boon beliovod a half
dozen years ago tbat such craft as aro
now uumorons enough to form a consid
erable fraction of tho wholo would over
bobnilt and sailed hero.
“Anotablo feature of lako navigation
is tho dispatch with which tho work is
dona Nowhoro elso aro cargoes loaded
or unloaded as rapidly as here. You see,
the open season is only abont eight
months, and wo must bo busy every
xnlnnto of that timo, or wo fall bobind.
Therefore wo havo reduced the handling
of grain, coal, iron oro, lumbor and
packnge freight to a moro or loss exact
sclenco. Oar vessels are unloaded im
mediately upon tying up at tho dock,
and tho work of reloading is began jnst
as soon no tho last of tho incoming cargo
has been taken oat For this reason,
oven though onr season is short, onr
freights ora lower than nny others.
Quick Work on the Lakes.
“A year or two ago a big grain oarry-
iDgsteemor was loaded with 116,000
bushels of wheat in 80 minutes at Dn-
luth, and I defy tho shippers of any ocean
port to show any such reoord. Wo do
not often live np to that standard, how-
over. Tho loading of thiB vessel in that
unprecedented timo was accomplished
as a test Tho grain was put aboard
from an elevator, of coarse, and ten
eponte wero utilized.
'Duluth, I should explain, has tho
best facilities for rapid loading and un
loading of all tho lake porta from the
foot that her harbor was opened lator
than most of tho othors, and her docks,
warehouses and olevators wero designed
on moro modem linos and better ar
ranged with reference to location ono
with another. Twonty-flvo hundred
tons of coal havo been unloaded thero
from ono vessel in 14 honrs, and that Is
quite as noteworthy a feat in its way ns
the rapid loading of wheat of which I
havo told you, but not all tho phonom
enal records as to dispatch in loading
and unloading havo been made at Dm
luth. The C. A. Pope a year or two
ago took 130,000 hushols of grain to
Buffalo, 1,000 miles, in tbroo days,
traveling as fast as a freight train. Ar
riving in the morning, she was unload
ed and reloaded with return freight tho
same day and was hero in Chlesgo
again in just a woek. Tho time usually
conBomod for this trip, howover, is nine
days
Chkifo Hot m Ship Owning Fort*
“Although Chicago is tho largest port
on the lakes, it is not a specially
strong ship owning port Cleveland
leads In this respect That is because
the Cleveland men were tho first to see
that there was a great future in the Iron
ore commeroo and hustled about and got
control of it by building the boats and
going into tho business. Bnt of course
the iron ore trade is dead at this time.
I should say it has been more depressed
during the season of 1894 than the grain
business or general freighting. Buffalo
comes next after Cleveland as a ship
owning port, and that is because the
headquarters of the line boats, which
are owned by the great trunk line rail-
ready ar* there, ,
’Sailing vessels are rapidly boing
driven off the lakes these later years.
You see, it takes skillful officers and
first class seamen to navigate the lakes,
for their waters are not like the waters
of tho ocean, practioally boundless. Tbe
shore is ever comparatively near at
band, and there are dangers of being
driven ashore suffered by sailing craft
that steam vessels aro not snbject to at
all. Then tho question of dispatoli, so
muoh more ’ important hero, as I havo
told yon, than on salt water, is driving
tho sailing vessels out. Baffling winds
may hold tho sailing vessel for days,
while, unless tho winds are very violent
indeed, they do not detain tho steamer.
Tho ovolntiou of lako stoamers as to
size has made tho port of Chicago al
most second class in ono rospeot—that
is, tho largest vessels cannot enter horo.
The rivor is so shallow it will not tako
vessels of a draft of more than 10 foot 8
inches, and it oaunot woll be mndo
doopor, whereas tho big modom freight
steamers require 18 feet of water. Then
the river is too narrow to acconmiodato
a great many more craft than now en
ter. The difficulties in tho way of deep
ening tho channel arise from tho fact
that tho street railwny tunnels passing
under tho river oannot bo lowered with
out enormous exponso and great iucon-
vonienco all ronnd. Besides new foun
dations for many buildings on tho water
front woald have to bo mado if thoro'
wero any moro drodgiug. In ordor to
widen tho channel, thero would havo to
bo oxtensivo pnrohases of oxtromoly val
uable property, and tho total cost of
widening and dooponing wonld bo al
most incalculable. Tho bigger craft,
bowevor, can all outer at South Chicago,
and tho harbor there is now really a
part of tho port of Chioago.
The Vessels end the Men,
“Tho total valuo of tho property mado
uso of in lako navigation is not far
from $00,000,000. This includes vos-
sols, docks, ota Thoro aro about 4,000
vessels all told, a smaller numbor per
haps than in tho past, bnt of greater
aggregate tonnage, owing to tho snpo-
rior sizo of the modom vessels. Theso
vessels employ abont 40,000 men, and
tho docks, oto., say, abont 30,000 moro,
or 60,000 altogether. Certainly theso
men are all thrown ont of work on tho
lake at tho close of navigation, bnt ordi
nary years only a fow of thorn oro
obligod to bo ldlo during tho wintor. A
good many havo been in tho habit of
wintering in tho lumber oamps. Others
got work in tho Chioago packing honsos,
whioh start up at full blast at just
abont tho timo lake navigation closos.
Thon many of thorn find their way to
tho seaboard, especially to Now Orlomis,
where thoy do tho work of stovodorcs.
“Tho wages paid seamen on tho lakes
are batter, as a rnlo, than on tho ocoau.
As I havo said, it requires bettor soameu
hero than on tho sen. Onr sailors havo
to work harder, for owing to tho natnr
of our waters every sailing voyago is
one long succession of tacks, and ports
boing made bo often thoro is tho con'
stant work of going in and ont to bo
dnno, whorcaB on tho sea thoro oro few
tacks, and entrances and clearances como
at long intervals. For this reason, too,

and of hotter personal habits. Tho ocean

A BeAlnlMenee or Two.
“In 1864 nonrly evorything on the
lakos was propollod by sails. In 1868
thero was a spurt at steamboat bull (ling,
but tho shallowness of tbo ports, fow of
which had yot been drodgod, mndo
steamboating unprofitable, and sails soon
got baok their supremacy. By tho timo
the war broko ont steam had forged to
the front again, bnt it was in tho form
of tug towing principally. As Into as
1870, howover, largo sailing vossolg
wore profitable. After thorn camo steam
barges and consorts, then big steamers.
Today 3,000 ton vessels can bo loaded
and unloaded with greater dispatoh than
vessols of 600 tons formerly and oper
ated almost as cheaply.
“Tho days of wooden construction
havo gono by on tho lakos, as on tho
ocean, and co have tho days of slmplo
engines Compound maohlnos camo in
kero almost as early as thoy did thoro,
and triple expansion is now tho almost
universal practice. Quadruple engines,
howover, havo not yet beon bniltto any
extent for lake vessels. In tho matter of
speed wo are behind the fastest ocean
passenger boats, bat we have steamers
that can mako 17 to 18 miles—not knots

deal of faith in thowhaleback boats,
and tho big vessel of that typo that was
used for World’s fair visitors in 1803,
now plying between here and Milwau'
koo in tho passenger service, makes 17
miles an hoar on nearly every trip,"

In no place has the improvement m

tho old sttreotyped styles nnd comes

THE GUN A FAILURE.
Washington. Dee. I -The Hunt multi-
charge gun, aa anticipated by naval ord
nance officers, haa proven a failure and
no further experiments with It will bo
made. At Indian Head today two shore
ware fired from the gun, the first with
188 pounds of powder, divided into two
charges, giving a velocity of 2.318 feet
and developing about fifteen tons pres
sure. The second Hurst cartridge con
tained 133 pounds of powder and produced
A3S6 feet velocity. In a former test of
the came gun under ordinary service con
ditions exploding the entire powder
charge at once a velocity of I’M feet war
obtained. This seems to demonstrate
that single charges are superior to the
llurst theory.
