STIKlNE RIVER
 TRAFFIC GROWS
Captain Sid Harrington to Operate Two Big Launches There Com
 ing Season

Some good news for wrangell ia thnt Capt. Sid Harrington is having another boat built for traffic on the .sukine and Iskoot rivers. The new boat will be of the same power as the Hazel D No. 9. but will be Lighter. narrower and ten feet shorter.
 Capt Barrington's years of ox- pcrience in operating steamers on the Yukon makes him especially competent Co anticipate the require ments for navigation on the stikine and lskoot rivers. The boat which is now being constructed will have a big advantage over any boat that has ever gone mp the stlkine river in that it can be operated earlier and later in the season than has hereto fore been possible. lt can also be operated in safety when the water is low.
 lt is highly probable that the building of this new boat has more .significauce than appears on the sur face. The announcement Is made that the new boat is primarily for oper- atlon on the Iskoot. There is a group Of rich mining claims on the lskoot, and the natural inference Is that these claims are going Co be opened up, and that Capt. Barring ton has already had a guarantee Of la sufficient tonnage to justify the building of new boat. 10 is also rumored that Capt Harrington is himself interested in some of these claims
 The opening mp Of the country a. long tho Iskoot will mean more business for wrangell.- wrangen Sentinel.
