Rear of Mill and Sorting Shed Wayagamack Sawmill NEAR Three Rivers. , the Wayagamack Pulp and Paper Company have recently completed the erection of a new- sawmill which has been designed and built with a view- particularly to the conversion of the company's larger spruce trees into high class lumber. When the Wayagamack company took over the 1200 acres of limits formerly belonging to Alexander F>ap- list they found that much of the spruce timber was too large to be readily converted into pulpwood and that they would have to erect a mill to turn it into lumber. The mill has now been completed and is one of the most thoroughly equipped mills to be found in Canada. Power Plant The engine and boiler houses which adjoin the main building are built entirely of brick with steel roofing, are excellently venti- lated and well lighted. In the boiler room which is 49 ft. x 54 ft., five 72-in. x 18-ft. return tubular boilers built for 150 lbs. steam pres- sure supply steam for the plant. The boilers are arranged in one batterv suspended from overhead and provided with Dutch oven for burning sawdust and refuse. They are carefully bricked in and the brick front is covered the entire length of the battery with an iron face plate to give a neat, clean appearance. A steel sawdust deck 8l/2 feet wide extends across the entire length of the battery and forms a storage for fuel to feed the furnaces while the mill is.
