The vessel was built about a year ago and has been carrying ore, this having been its first trip to Calcite for stone. It is the largest capacity ves- sel that has gone into Calcite and is one of the largest of the lake freight boats. The vessel is captained by Joseph Matthews. * * * HIPMENTS of finished steel prod- ucts on the Great. Lakes from eastern mills to Chicago have become more regular in the past several weeks. These cargoes have been coming from Buffalo. Chicago steel producers in turn have been shipping finished steel to Montreal for Canadian consump- tion, but the latter movement is not heavy. Several eargoes of pig iron from Cleveland and Buffalo also have been received by a Chicago brokerage concern, for sale in the Chicago-Mil- waukee district. Reports are that other cargoes will be shipped for di- rect delivery by a Buffalo steelworks furnace unit. * * * ERTAIN harbor enlargements will become necessary with the deepen- ing of lake channels. The figures show that a saving of $1,250,000 will be effected in providing channels 25 feet in depth through and between the lakes by including compensating works rather than accomplishing the deep- ening work by dredging only. The government engineers contemplate the raising of the present levels of Lakes Michigan and Huron by one foot if the construction of compensating works is decided upon. It is declared that it would be necessary to com- pensate for the loss of six inches, which the engineers say is caused by the Chicago diversion, and the loss of about six inches in’ channel enlarge- ments in the St. Clair river by Cana- dian and other gravel dredging.
