ST. JOHN, Robertson Place, Smythe Street CD P CD CO PS CD 02 SO âºâ' go GO O P ?o Tan Bark. The Globe says Canadian capitalists should take immediate note of an enterprise just being introduced on the rivers of the Southern States ânamely, the pressing of tan-bark for carriage by rail or export. The press is carried^ on a stern-wheel steamer which is to run on the Ten- nessee River as far up as Florence, Ala. She cost $50,000. The press, which is a 14 inch cylinder, is driven by the engines which drive the boat. A pressure of 1,500 tons is put on the bark in the cylinder. The bark is first ground on a machine located in the fore part of the ves- sel, and is then conveyed by a traveller to hop- pers which feed the cylinders. Another travel- ler conveys the pressed cylinders of bark to the hold for shipment. The substance when pressed is as hard as rock, and needs no barrel, bale tie, or covering. On soaking in water it expands to its former size. In that section loose tan-bark is worth $10 to $15 a ton. The price in Europe is about $30 to $35 a ton. The Duluth Lake Superior News says that the Shell Lake Lumber Co. recently received one hundred cars of snow with which to manufacture lumber roads. The Port Hope Timet says that the Georgian Bay Lumber Co. intend shipping 50,000,000 feet of lumber at Port Hope next summer. Large quantities of cedar are being gotten out in Door county, Sturgeon Bay region, Wis., notwithstanding the lack of snow. The local papers pronounce the industry a bonanza to the people in that vicinity. Golden Information.âA while ago, said Mrs. Dr
