This boat, which is a very stmmchly built craft,of splendid model, is 120 feet long, 33 feet wide, 7 feet 5 inches dear in the hold, and measures 100 tons. Her speed is not excelled by that of any other craft on the route. Everything is new, including boiler and engine; and Capt. Hart may well feel proud that he has such a fine vessel. The cabin and somb’ other upper works are not yet finished, but the work is being pushed to completion as fast as possible. The time of running Inis not been definitely decided upon, yet; but the boat /will probably leave Green Bay on Mondays and Thursdays, arriving here on Tuesdays and Fridays. From here it will run to Fayette, Garden Bay, Sag Bay, Monis-tique and return.—Escanaha Iron Port.• '''I----l«n
