The Slate .Mine contributed 2395 tons 15cwt ; Blackball, 1703 tons 15 cwt. and Brunner 1682 tons 14c\vt. The export of coke and bricks totalled 85 tons 13cwt. The sea along the coa.st has been smooth during the last lew days with fresh winds oil' the land, and as there is still a strong current in the, river, there i,s a good workable bar with a little over twenty-one feet of water. All the large boats can now take full loads—provided cargo is available. A sea monster of a log raft is to be towed from Seattle to a Southern port (probably San Francisco) in a short time. This menace to navigation is said to be .nine 700 ft long, to draw 25ft, and to contain 8.000,000 ft of lumber. Sundry shipowners on the Pacific coast have protested against this method of carrying lumber by sett as a r-erious danger to coasting craft. The most enthusiastic of the Protestants are owners of vessels frequently engaged in the lumber business, which may influence their feelings with a view of the consequences to their trade—this ''fellow- (business) feeling makes tts wondrous" sour. The attempted legislation on the lig raft question appears no't to have materialised. On .May 29th Messrs William Denny and Brothers, Dumbarton, launched the twin-screw steamer Arahura, which they have, built for the Union Steam Ship Comiwny of New Zealand. The vessel is 240 ft ill length. 36ft Gin breadth, and 23f( in depth to awning deck. She has been specially designed for the Company's West Coast trade, and i.s titled on! for the car riage of first and second-class passengers. In addition she will carry a limited amount of deadweight. She has been built, of steel to Ihe highest class of the Urilish Corporation Bcgi.stry, and under their special survey. The propelling machinery consists of two sets o ('triple expansion engines, which, together with (lie boilers, are being supplied by Messrs Denny and Brothers. The vessel is being built under the Miperiulcndeuce of Cap tain Cameron, marine superintendent of the company.
