HAI LING OF HEAVY
DREDGE PARTS UNDERWAY
W. J. Rowe has the hauling: of
the machinery for the Yuba dredges
and the new power plant. Within
three hours after the first piece was
landed from the Culburra, Rowe
had made delivery of parts to both
the power plant and at Little creek.
Loaded with a sixteen ton section
for Yuba Dredge No. 53 the heavy
Rowe truck attempted to pass along
1st avenue East and encountered a
partly covered culvert with the re
sult that the load broke thru the
planking and necessitated a delay
in delivery of the part.
The load was jacked up and the
truck Yemoved, leaving the part
spotted until other parts are deliv
ered and more time is available to
reload the piece.
COAL BROUGHT BY RUSSIAN
GUNBOAT PROVES GOOD
STEAMING COAJt
The coal brought to Nome on the
Russian gunboat Magnet has been
given a fair test in some local boil
ers and has proved to be a first
class steaming coal. In consequ
ence users of boilers have taken ad
vantage of the superior quality and
lower price to supply themselves
with a satisfactory fuel.
According to users, the coal is
very fine and requires less attention
than lump coal, it has less smokfc,
or uncombined carbon, and the
gases are readily consumed in the
fire box giving off an intense heat.
Other users of boilers will do well
to investigate this coal, they may
find a fuel that is well suited to
their purposes.

feet of the superstructure remained
above the water. As the high wind
rfnd water subeidede by Thursday

started their pumps and raised the
boat. New motors were procured
and installed and before tonight
the machine will again be digging
the gravel of tbe harbor, unless
another storms makes operations

bad more than their share of diffi
culties’ to overcome and during the
