Trout Creek Logging Company's Mill —Rear view showing Log Pond, Dam and Boiler House. One of the most noticeable and important features in connection with lumber operations in Canada of late years, has been the tend- ency of lumber operators to study the opportunities for utiliz- ing every available source of raw material found upon their limits. The economical conversion of the timber resources of the country is of the utmost importance, not only to the people of Canada, but to those who have invested their money in timber limits and manu- facturing plants. It is interesting therefore, to note the operations of an Ontario company, which is converting practically everything upon its limits into valuable pro- ducts, each of which is bringing sufficient profit to make the opera- tion justifiable. These operations are located at Trout Creek, Ont., and are being carried on by the Dominion Wood & Lumber Company, Limited, The Ballantyne Lumber Company, Trussler Bros., Limited, and the Trout Creek Logging Company, Limited.
