The mill at Spragge is one of most modern and thoroughly equip- ped on the Georgian Bay, and, under the management of Waldie Brothers, had the reputation of producing a class of lumber unexcelled by any other in Ontario. The equipment is thoroughly up-to-date and is capable of turning out 150,000 feet of lumber in a ten-hour day. It includes two double-cutting Waterous band saws and a Wm. Hamilton. View of Shipping Dock at Spragge, Ont. gang saw in addition to a gang edger. The gang edger is an extremely useful machine with Simonds inserted teeth and is used for cutting with Simonds inserted teeth and is used for cutting the 4 in and 5 in. cants. The equipment also includes two lath machines furnished by P. Payette and Company, of Penetanguishene, Ont. The power for the mill is furnished by six Waterous boilers of the latest improved type with Dutch ovens. The equipment includes one of P. Payette and Company's latest patent mill dogs, which dogs equally well in frozen or wet timber. The mill at Spragge was purchased some years ago by Waldie Bros., Limited, from Cook & Bros. Lumber Company. The ma- chinery in the original mill was all built by the Wm. Hamilton Com- pany, Limited, of Peterboro, Ont., who have also supplied much of the machinery which has been installed since its erection. Before the plant was purchased by Waldie's the Cook estate remodelled it and put in a new outfit of boilers of the most expensive kind. After the sale to Waldie's the latter put in new engines and remodelled the mill to a great extent, making it more modern. It was then considered to be at least the equal of the very fine mills operated by the Waldie's at Victori
