The manufacture of pulp in New Brunswick is to-day interesting capitalists more than ever before, and one of the reasons might be said to be the great success attending the operation of the new mill of the St. John Sulphite Fibre Company at Mispec, some six miles from St. John, This mill is situated on the Bay of Fundy, at the mouth of a small stream, where schooners may load the pulp to be taken to St. John for trans-shipment to Europe. The wood supply for years will likely come from the Mispec stream, but the output of the St. John river is almost as easily available, and that from the numerous streams emptying into the bay can be easily towed to the mill. The buildings are brick and are situated on the bank of the Mispec river. Nearest the stream is a building with frontage ot 430 feet and extend- ing back 68 feet. 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 120x40 feet. The digester building occupies a still higher level and is 130x36 feet, the main por- tion being 100 feet high. The blow tank building and filtering plant are between the digester build- ing and the paper-making department. It is one story above the machine room and one floor below the digester department, which places the blow tank sufficiently below the digesters to cause the pulp to flow by gravity into them from to digester. The logs are taken up into the wood room by means of a patent haul up, and cut by two steam jump saws into lengths ot 2 feet 6 inches. These pieces are carried by a conveyor to the barking machines. From the barkers the cut up logs are moved along on a conveyor to the chippers. Immediately under the c
