The price paid was the round sum of $100,000. Preparations for rebuilding were made at once and a few weeks ago the new mill was put in operation. Like its predecessors, it is run by water power, two water wheels driving the ma- chinery. One of these is a 66 inch turbine which was in the old mill. The other is a Blake or Cleveland improved 60 inch wheel, made in St. John. The two wheels are so arranged that either may be run separately, or by the shifting of a belt both may be connected together with the main driving shaft. The first floor contains all the shafting and has ten feet posts. The action of the machinery is all made as direct as possible, so that the equip- ment is a model of simplicity and solidity. The second story contains a gang adjusted for deals and boards, an edger, a deal trimmer, a trimmer to cut into lath stuff, and a lath ma- chine. There is also a splitter to work up de- fective or broken timber into lath material. The edger was made by Waring, White & Co., of St. John ; the lath machine is a Ross patent, built by Harry Allen. The belt is a 15 inch rub- ber from the Boston Rubber Belting Company. The mill itself is 110 by 41 >^ feet. The frame was made under the superintendence of Mr. Robt. Armstrong. The machinery was built by Mr. B. F. Eagles, after plans devised and arranged by Mr. F. M. Anderson, the general manager. The roof is heavily coated with fireproof paint. The refuse is carried by an endless chain, run- ning in a trough to a dump built up to where the tide surrounds it, and is there burned. The cut- ting capacity is 50,000 feet per day. Mr. C. M. Bostwick considers he possesses about the best timbered land on the Bay shore. He says that it has a perfect system of water- ways, as the main stream takes in branches just where they are needed to b
