Mow York, Aug. 4 — Announce
ment that five yards on tlia Dele
gare river 'are now building forty
six ocean-going vessels, with re
ports of a. like activity in, New
England yards. The producing ca
pacity of "American shin build ere is
increasing with every month of the
war. Marino journals state that
whereas the average cc-st of mak
ing a vessel in Great Britain was
S 10 a ton, it is now $C0, and that
the ou'rut of British yards is cur
, tailed by the necessity -of doing
force-l 'work for the navy, jjifficul
; ties of exportation, at the same
time,'have checked the old tendency
I of our steel-plate manufacturers to
j sell more cheaply abroad than at
! home. The American industry is,
jot' course, building for the future its
' well as the present, for the demand
for ships after the restoration of
peace will bo acute. Operators can
; no>v S3**1 their vessels on the At
j lantir at a profit, oven under the
I oppressive seamen's law; when
the war is over and the froight
rates drop, they can sell them to
, advantage.

Mr. McCabe has a three years'

A feiv months ago prominent out

purchase the Gleaner mine for the
sum of $500,000, but the European
ivar breaking out and the finances
Ji the world being tied up for a
Lime thereby, the option was al
lowed to lapse.
The Gleaner mine wag located in

Ticoma, • Aug. 3—Olil Chief I
lak.ili or the Neah Bay reservation
eceived a quiet tip last week that
here wore two of the biggest
rlia'es ho ev.T saw about five miles
ff Tatoosh island, according to
leorge D. Cautwell, federal ■ bird
erervatiou inspector, who lias just
eturned to Tacoiua from a trip to
he coast. Makah ordered out his
irav s, placing Whale Killer, the
phe's most e.\i>ert harpoon throw
r in the bow.
On arrival at the hunting grounds*
10 whales were to be seen, but
uddenly a b'ack back appeared
nthin a few feet of the boat.
Whale Iviller was on the J0^
ii:d a harpoon went flying straight
it the quarry. It struck with a
lollcw ■ boom and, to the Indians'
itirprise, bounded off into tho water.
Fhe whale seemed to be traveling
it a phenomenal rate, and the In
liruis had just time to throw an
ith(>r harpoon before it get out of
•ffach. This also bounced off.
The Indians were recalling with
errcr old stories about whale-gods,
vhen the back ef the "whale" ol>
(ned, and the head of an English
laval officer appeared to ask thorn
vhetlier the'Noah bay tribe had de
eland war with Great Britain that
they should thus attack liia
majesty's submarine vessels, then
maneuvering in the straits.
Judge R. W. Jennings of the
district' court today granted the
two Haines liquor licenses, the dis
position of which had been post
poned on Monday to allow of ad
ditional evidence being secured.
The protest against the granting
of license to C. W. Hockett of
the Haines hotel was an account
of Lis alleged location within 400
feet ct' a church. By actual - meas
urement yesterday it was proven
i that ho is eight feet Ijejond the
limit urescribed by law, and the
1 protectants withdrew their objec
tions 1
The- license for the Gateway sa
j oon, owned by the Brie Co., which
was also protested on account of
bcin; within the 400 foot 'limit,
was granted for the reason that
the :;a'oon had been located on the
present sight prior to the erection
of the church, and was therefore ex
emp- from restriction that would
otheiwise have been considered.
