Dc'ccniher 1, 1010 CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER i New Sawmills in Sudbury District Experiments Being Made in Cutting Up Fire Killed Jack PineâIncreased Logging Output "Lumberjack" writing to the "Canada Lumberman" from Sud- bury, Ont. says: The prospect for a fairly successful season of lumbering is better than a year ago. The supply of men is improv- ing but not up to expectations. They are like migratory birds, con- stantly on the move and operators are anxiously waiting for them to settle down. Notwithstanding the high rate of wages which arc from $55 to $70 per month and board, they keep shifting. From present appearances the output of saw logs will be 25 per cent, over last season; railway ties about 15 per cent, greater and pulpwood 10 per cent. On the Canadian National Railway north of Sudbury there is a hive of industry. 75 camps are in operation cutting logs, pulp- wood and railway ties, employing some 3,000 men. Two camps are making board timber which is unusual for some years past. Numerous portable saw mills have been engaged in sawing rail- way ties from timber too large to make axe ties. From Mile C. N. R. to Mile 125 there are some 10 tie mills and at Gogama, Laforest and Co. are erecting a mill with a capacity of 40,000 ft. per day. At Mile 93 Haight & Dickson have erected a fine mill to manu- facture timber from their limits. At mile 96, McCreary and Son have built a good mill and will experiment with fire killed Jack pine. They have 40,000 such logs on skids at this date. If this venture proves profitable it will be a source of revenue to the province and other firms will no doubt follow in cutting Jack pine killed by fire which has been in the past a total loss. At Mile 125 Tionaga Siding, R. B. Herron & Co. have erected a large mill and are now engaged in sawing. They have th
