In one or two cases 200 to 400 men are engaged on these night shifts. Thelargest night forces are probably en. gaged at the Globe company's yard, Cleveland, and at the Detroit Dry Dock Co.'s yard, Wyandotte, Mich. The night shifts prepare material in the shops, so as to keep the outside workmen fully engaged by day. Difficulty with the force of rivet heaters at F. W. Wheeler & Co's, ship yard, which delayed other workmen in the yard, and which it was thought might result in more importent differences among the men, was partly the cause of further delay in launching the Eddy-Shaw and Roby steamers. These ships were not launched on Saturday last, although some preparations had been made to launch them. Capt. W. H. Singer, owner of harbor tugs at Duluth, has contracted with E. W. Heath of Benton Harbor, Mich., to build a tug that will cost about $13,000. She will be 80 feet long, 19 feet beam and 11 feet hold. The Globe Iron Works Co., Cleveland, has placed an order with the Whiting Foundry Equipment Co. of Chicago, for a Whiting foundry cupola, which will have a capacity of eighteen tons per hour. The cupola is 7 feet in diameter. . A Detroit correspondent says of ship building operations and repair work in that city: "Immediately upon completion of the heavy repair job to the Northern line freight steamer Northern Wave at the Detroit dry dock company's big dock, the car ferry Shenango was put into the dock and fitted with new wheels. She was also given other minor repairs, Her place was quickly taken by the cargo steamer Selwyn Eddy, upon which nearly 100 men are at work, and from which something over fifty plates are to be removed. This job will take about three weeks. The Eddy is also to receive a new wheel. The big passenger steamer City of Buffalo is rapidly approaching completion. Nearly all of her machinery is in place, and to the casual observer she appears about ready for busi- ness. The floats, or buckets, of her wheels attract special attention. They are entirely of steel and, of course, have a much more mechanical appearance than the old style of wooden buckets. In the large machine shops of this company the engines for the first of the 400-foot steamships building at Wyandotte are ready for shipment, while those for the smaller boat on the stocks at the same place (the Jones steamer) are well advanced. Howden hot draft apparatus, which is being fitted to several ships, is also very plentiful around the shops. Four large Scotch boilers for new ships are under construction in the boiler shop, and there is also a new boiler under way for the wooden steamer Progress, as well asa large amount of repair work. At the Detroit Boat Works, Belle Isle bridge, a new 35-foot steam yacht, with a large number of life boats, are - under construction, and the steam yacht Pastime, owned by Mr. F. H. Walker, is undergoing an extensive overhauling." Another dividend, aggregating 510,(00, has just been paid to owners of the Calumet and Hecla mine, the great Lake Superior copper property. 'his makes the total of dividends paid by the company to date $45,350,(00, while assessments have smounted to only $1,£00,0C0. The value of all stock at the highest market value reached in 1895 was $23,000,000. Dur- ing 1895 the company paid four dividends of $5 per share each, making in all a division of $-0,000 for the year. This distribution of earnings is wonderful, but the amounts would be far greater than they are but for the stupendous new work and lavishness of expenditures at the mine, where equipment of the property is being carried on with a view to fol- lowing the lode to a depth of 10,000 feet, or more than double the dist ance already achieved. Miners in anew shaft of the property stopped work a few days ago at 4,900 feet, the greatest depth as yet attained.
