Shives Lumber CompanyâAthol Mill from Intercolonial Railway Track. at Athol, two miles above Campbellton on the Kesti- gouche river, and two mills in the town. The null at Athol is one of the largest and most modern in the Maritime Provinces. It is 203 feet long and 60 feet wide, with two large sorting sheds in which the lumber passes over travelling chains on to the sort- ing tables, is sorted in sizes and qualities, placed on small cars and taken out to the piling ground on elevated tramways and lowered down on the piles. The engine room contains a 450 horse power engine, a dynamo engine driving the dynamo for supply- ing light to the mills and houses, and for driving a planing mill which is situated some distance from the main mill, and which is driven by motors. The engine and boiler houses are brick with iron rafters slabs into boards and planks, and another edger for edging any waney boards coming from re-saws. â The lumber after leaving the gangs and edgers moves over the trimming tables to the sorting sheds and thence to the piling ground. From the time the logs come into the mill until lumber is put on the piles every modern labor saving appliance has been used to handle the lumber, waste, etc., quickly and cheaply, and to save as many men as possible. The mill also contains a double clapboard machine, sawing two bolts at the one time, each machine hav- ing a capacity of seven thousand pieces per day. The clapboards are air dried, taken to the clapboard planing mill, and placed into bundles for shipment to the United States and local Shives Lumber CompanyâAthol Mill Before Sorting Sheds or Tramway were Built.
