BUILDING FINE
 BOAT AT ATLIN

Mir. Jules Eggert, the well known manufacturing and retail jeweler of Atlin has this week laid down the keel to a gasoline motor boat which will be christened the Neptune. This launch will be II it. in length by 9 ft. beam and have a depth of : 1t. and in ship building parlance is termed Raised Deck Cabin Cruiser, as it will have q cabin 9 1t. long fitted with sleeping accommodations, and having a seating capacity for between 50 and SO people. The keel is exceptionally stout and well braced being made from the first quality of white oak. and the balance of the frame is constructed of the same kind of lumber. The planking and interior finishing is of extra fine cedar. and the rest of the material is of the best, having been shipped from Vancouver. The power will be furnished by q four cylinder Brennan gasoline engine generating 8 h. D., manufactured by the Brooks manufac- turing company, Saginaw, Mich. The boat will also be equipped with stor- Ige batteries and dynamo for light ing purposes. One of the admirable features in connection with this little cruiser is her steering apparatus, which enables the man at the steer ing wheel to have absolute control of the engine without moving from tis post. This craft will make quite an addition to the present Atlin mos quito fleet and her owner predicts great things from her in the way of speed
