Nipissing district. The company which was launched a little over two years ago by Guy H. Long, of Hamilton, A. E. Gray- don and P. A. Duff, of South River, secured part of the township of McCraney and erected a mill at Mileage 328 with a sawing capacity of about feet per day. There is estimated to be 10,000,000 feet of the finest birch in that area and much favorable comment has been received upon its character. Good trees produce good logs and when properly cut, good logs produce good lumber which accounts for the superior stock that the McCraney Lumber Co. has been producing. It is cutting a million and a half feet per year and estimates that it will take five years to cut out the stock. Cutting the logs principally to 16-foot lengths, makes the lumber easier to sell as the long lengths in birch are always sought after. There is a down-haul for the logs to the mill which is situated on a railroad siding and enables the firm to make quick shipments. The McCraney Lumber Co., has its camp situation, building-, saw- mill and piling ground one of the best sites in the north country. 1. Guy H. Long, Hamilton, Ont. The piling ground is long and narrow and high and dry. The lay- out is picturesque, being situated by Round Lake which nearly sur- rounds the mill and makes the fire hazard practically nil. The McCraney Co. shipped one car of 8/4 No. 1 common and better birch that, under inspection, showed 87 per cent FAS. and 79 per cent 14 feet and longer. The 10/4 shipped out by the firm showed practically the same and if anything a little better inspection and the company has now ready for the market approxi- mately 1,000,000
