Some significance is attached to the recent trip to the range made by Henry C. Frick, manager of the Carnegie It is not at all probable, however; that there is anything in the talk of a consolidation of - interests between the Carnegies and the Minnesota Iron Com- pany or the Illinois Steel Company. Among those in the party With Mr. Frick were J. H. Chandler, J. C. Morse, H. H. Porter and Samuel Mather, all interested in the Illinois Steel Company and Minnesota Iron Company, and B.

The whaleback steamer C. W. Wetmore, built at West Su- perior last year by the American Steel Barge Company and valued at $175,000 is, with a $52,000 coal cargo a total loss. The wreck occurred about midnight on the 7th inst., as the ves- sel was leaving Coos bay, Oregon, loaded with 2,800 tons of coal. She ran into one of the sand spits in this bay and was dashed to pieces. Her crew was saved by taking to the life boats. A dense fog was on at the time of the wreck and it is due to this that the disaster occurred. 'The force of the shock bent her bow stanchions in a manner that showed she went on very hard. The Wetmore was 265 feet over alland 38 feet beam with a capacity of 2,800tons. She was, at the time of the wreck, the property of the Pacific Steel Barge Company, and had been engaged in the coal carrying trade between San Francisco and Tacoma, for the past three or four months. Changes were made in the boat since she left the lakes. Along her deck turrets had been placed her entire length and stan- chions had been ace along her sides, 'strengthening her very her way to the Pacific and \ was s towed into Astoria by the steamer - 'Last' 'February she ran on the: rocks % in Victoria harbor and was laid up for: repairs. bows were - stove in while going: from See 'Diego to vo and: "inst, were: ge \ ; a Chtcned: Balai er) keeiet "etueig tate Whe: at, bu.
