MARINE REVIEW. II secs ee eee -REmoval of Buoys—Other Notices. Commanders Nicoll Ludlow, Edwin ‘I. Woodward and O. F. Heyerman, . in charge, . respectively, of the Ninth, ‘Tenth and Eleventh light-house districts, covering the entire chain of lakes, give notice that the work of replacing all iron buoys with spars painted the same colors will begin Nov. 10. The light vessels at Simmon’s Reef, White shoal and Gray’s reef, will be continued at their stations as late as it is prudent to do so, but not later, under any circumstatices, than Nov. 2 5. Buoys in Niagara river and the harbor of Buffalo, will be left in position as long as pos- sible, and on their removal no small buoys will be left in these localities. Commander Ludlow has been marking the shoals in the vicinity of Squaw and Garden islands, Lake Michigan, but as yet the spot some distance north of Squaw island shoal, on which the steamer Roumania struck a short time ago, has not been found. A black spar buoy (marker) has, however, been placed in 22 feet of water. on the north end of the Squaw island shoal, western edge of Whiskey island, slightly open to the west of Squaw ; northwest end of Squaw island, S. S. W.°%4 W., distant 2% miles; east tangent of Garden island, S. E. %4 E. There is a shoal spot with 15 feet on it less than half a mile to the south- ward of this buoy. A spar buoy, (marker) red and black horizontal stripes, has been placed on what is known on the chart as the 18-foot spot, N. E. by N., 234 miles from the northwest end of Garden island. There is but 15 feet of water where the buoy is placed. Regular spar buoys will replace the markers next spring. A telegram from Capt. F. B. Hackett of Amherstburg, Wednesday, said that his contract from the Dominion govern- ment for the removal of the wrecked barge Birckhead is com- pleted and the channel at the Lime-Kilns’ crossing is clear. rf & Ship-owners and captains will be interested to learn that at the Detroit Boat Works, Detroit, Mich.,*yawls of all sizes, from 14 to 22 feet in length, are constantly kept in stock and delivered to vessels while passing through the river, or at their dock, day or night. REASONS Why You Should Buy THE SINTZ ENGINE. It gives more actual power for the cost and the expense of running it than any other engine on the market, using but one gallon gasoline per horse power in ten hours. It occupies less space per horse power. It requires no boiler, coal, wood or fireman, inspection or licensed en- gineer. Can be used in the country, in mines, and such places independent of manufactured gases. Sault Canal Tonnage during October. A feature of the Sault canal traffic during October is the great falling off in iron ore shipments. The total freight movement during October was 1,152,611 net tons, against 1,196,108 net tons in 1890. The tonnage for October would certainly have greatly exceeded that of the corresponding month in 1890 if it were not for the sinking of the steamer Susan E. Peck, through which Lake Superior traffic was stopped for several days. The general movement of freight through the canal during the month was as follows : Description, Hast-bound West-bound.
