'4 THK CANADA LUMBKRiZLAH July, 1899 WOOD PULP ~® ®~ DEPARTMENT PULP MILL OF THE ST. JOHN SULPHITE FIBRE COMPANY. The new mill of the St. John Sulphite Fibre Company, at Mispec, St. John N. B., has just been completed, under the supervision of Mr. M. F. Mooney. The mill has a capacity of 30 tons per day, but provision has been made for increas- ing the capacity. Additional machinery can be placed in all the principal buildings and the output greatly augmented without "changes in the buildings themselves. The mill was planned by Mr. Mooney, who was for a time the manager ot one of the pulp mills at Chatham. It was built by B. Mooney & Sons, of which firm M. F. Mooney is a member. Having made the necessary arrangements for the site, Mr. Mooney sent the plans to Scotland, where the scheme found favor in the eyes of a number of capitalists. The mill is situate on the bank of the Mispec stream, about 15 miles from Loch Lomond, and a distance of some 10 miles from St. John. The buildings, which are of brick, are sub- stantially put together and cover an immense area. Nearest the stream is a building with a frontage of 430 feet and extending back 68 feet. It contains the wood room, machine room and boilers. Back of the wood room and above it is the acid system, which extends back about 120 feet. This structure is 150 feet in length. Above this department is the sulphur room, which is one story high and 120x40 feet. The digester building occupies a still higher level, and is 130x36 feet. The main portion of this structure is 100 feet high. The blow tank building and filtering plant are between the digestor building and the paper making department. It is one story above the machine room and one floor be- low the digestor department, which places the blow tanks sufficiently below the digestors to cause the pulp to flow by gravity into
