VI Canada LoMBfiRMAN Weekli Edition August 5, 1903 TIMBER LIMIT TRANSACTIONS. George Schneider, of Maryboro, Ont., has sold 400 acres of land and his saw mill to Charles Neilson for the sum of $18,800. The Victoria Times states that John Hanbury, formely of Brandon but now of Vancouver, has purchased 3,850 acres of timber lands on the Sechelt Inlet, British Columbia, from the Thomson Estate of Hamilton, Ont. It is said that $5 an acre was paid for the timber, which is cedar and fir of fine quality. The sale of timber limits to be held this fall by the Ontario Government will, ac- cording to report, be the largest since 1885. In the neighborhood of 900 square miles, or 25 townships, will be offered. Much of the timber is located along the lines of the Temiskammg and Northern Ontario, Central Canada and Bruce Mines and Algoma Railways. In the item in a recent issue in reference to the purchase of extensive timber lands on Vancouver Island, B. C, by an Ameri- can syndicate, the area was inadvertently given as 50 acres. This should have read 50,000 acres. Later reports state that the price was $12 an acre, although no official announcement has yet been made. It is said that M. King, of Victoria, has an op- tion on 150,000 acres at the same price. The name of the Edwin well Lum- ber Company, Chicago, has been changed to the Hermann H. Hettler Lumber Com- pany, the officers of which are : President, Hermann H. Hettler; vice-president, J. L. Philip ; secretary, E. L. Casey. 1", 2%", Spruce Boards, averag- ing 6" to 7" wide JAMES W.
