According to steamboat men
here is every probability that
the steamer Curacao will be
put on I lie Silka-Juneau route;
after she is raised this coming!
summer, which it is expected
will lie or the June tides. The
Georgia which is now on the
run is noc large enough to take
care of the business, and while
the Curacao is rather larger
than needed, the probabilities
arc that the business will grow
enough within the next few
