Mr. J. A. Sayward. Mr. J. A. Sayward, who conducts the large - saw-milling business in Victoria, B. C, estab- lished by his father in 1858, comes of stock who had to do with lumber. His grandfather was a shipmaster in Maine, where ships were built in great numbers, and his own father learned the trade of carpenter. He went to California in 1849. and after spending two years at Sacramento, began a lumber busi- ness in San Francisco. This he con- tinued until 1858, when the discovery of gold in Cariboo brought British Columbia into prominence. He came north and began the business which is still being maintained in an enlarged and improved form. Mr. Say ward's (sr.) first mill was at Mill Bay, in the Shawinigan district on Vancouver island, which was the whole of the prov:nce at that time and where the settlement was located.

A steam plant was at that time installed, and since then this has been the motive power. It has been enlarged and improved until it has a capacity of 50,000 feet in ten-hours. A sash and door factory and planing mill, and also a shingle mill, are included in the establishment. Mr. J. A. Sayward, who succeeded his father as head of the firm, is still a young man, not yet 40 years of age. He has been engaged in the lumbering business all his lite, and has devoted his energies entirely to it. He is assisted in the handling of the office work by Mr. Walter Chambers, and an efficient staff is also employed.
