O. Railway, sixteen miles south of the busy town of Timmins. The "Canada Lumberman" on this page presents several views showing' the activities of this organization which has been in existence for the last six years. The Porcupine Pulp & Lumber Co. takes out several thousand cords of pulpwood each year and during the coming season will increase its usual amounf by about thirty per cent. The company does not operate any camps itself but awards the contracts to job- bers who take the product either from the land owned by the Porcu- pine people or upon which it has cutting rights. At Hoyle, Ont., the company has erected several buildings, in- cluding a rossing plant, general store, cookery and bunkhouses, resi- dences for the manager and cashier, warehouse and other structures. Recently a new pulpwood conveyor was completed and new concrete piers have been placed under the rossing plant. The company owns about forty acres at Hoyle where all buildings are located. The mill rosses about some 125 cords of pulpwood in ten hours and is kept busy the greater part of each year. It is the intention in the spring to erect several cottages for em- ployees and it is likely that a sawmill will also be put up in order to make profitable use of the large quantities of poplar and birch which the company has on its lands- Cutting rights are possessed on some 8,000 acres in all. The wood that is rossed is shipped to the Clif
