B —View of Plant at Shives-Athol. \l/2 months on logs piled out of the water near the mill. Owing to the short open season the company pile on the wharf adjacent to the mill, sufficient logs to run the mill during the winter months. The logs are all taken out of the water and up the mill slip in the custom- ary way. They are then rolled over and piled commencing beside the slip, the first block being kept within six feet of the top of the slip, and as soon as the pile gets sufficiently long a car is brought ,into ser- vice, being used on ordinary railway irons and operated with drum and cable, with power from the mill. The track is worked in different directions and the logs rolled from the car each way between the tiers. As the pile gets larger the track is moved higher and higher. As soon as the frost makes it impossible to take logs from the water, the mill slip is altered for getting logs from the piles, and as the logs get too far away from the mill for using the mill power to take them into the mill, they are dragged by horses and travoys into reach of the mill haul-up, two horses being sufficient to keep the mill in logs. The company have about one thousand square miles of lumber lands in New Brunswick and Quebec, and operate in both provinces. They log both by their own camps, and by contractors or jobbers, and of late years have been getting more of their log crop through the latter than formerly. They get their men largely in Quebec, most of them coming from the Gaspe Peninsula. Markets in Many Foreign Countries The long lumber, which is practically all spruce, not over three per cent, of the company's log crop being pine (the pine on their limits being mostly cut into square timber over a generation ago) has largely been marketed heretofore by water in the Br
