JOHN. Andre Cushing & Co., of St. John, N. B., have made a proposition to the city that if they were granted free water from Spruce Lake for their steam plant and the manufacture of pulp, they would undertake to build a pulp mill of 20 tons per day capacity on Union Point, near their present saw mill. Such a mill would cost from $150,000 to $175,000, and would furnish constant employ- ment to, say 150 hands, with an expenditure for wages of from $50,000 to $60,000 a year. Mr. Cushing states that he is advised on expert authority that New Brunswick spruce is superior to the Scandinavian article. It grows faster and has a better fibre. The demand for sulphite pulp in England is practically unlimited. MARKET FOR PULP WOOD.

The size wanted is three feet six inches long, and from five inches up in diameter, all to be peeled. His firm would charter a vessel to carry the wood if satisfactory arrangements could be made, and if the result was satisfactory yearly contracts would be made. Mr. Wagner has been in the upper provinces, and has lately returned to St. John. His firm is not the only one that is looking this way. Can- ada is sure to have a great development of the pulp industry. The government of Norway and Sweden has made stringent regulations curtail- ing the cut of trees suitable for pulp wood, be- cause of the rapid denudation of their forest areas. PUBLICATIONS.
