The main mill building is 60 feet by 300 feet long and contains a double circular breaking down saw on one side, a 53 inch gang saw in the middle, while back of that is the 60 inch gang edger, opposite and to one side is the automatic slasher and automatic trimmer. On the side opposite the breaking down saw, room has been left for the installation of another breaking down saw and re-saw. sizer and a sorting table. By a system of transfers and live rolls the lumber is carried from the main part into this wing, where several men are kept busy sorting out the material as it arrives. The power plant for the saw mill is located in another wing 45 x 60 feet, also attached to the main building. Hear are four large boilers, each 60 inches by 16 feet long, and a pair of driving engines, 20 x 24 inch cylinders. These engines run the breaking down saws, the live rolls, transfers, trimmers and conveyors. The gang saw is driven by a separate engine 14 x 20 and the edger and lath mill by another engine 14x18. A pair of engines 9x12 are used to run the sizer, the re-saw and the shaving fan. This use of separate power for the different machines is an important feature, as it permits.
