The incorporators have subscribed $30,000 and as soon as the balance of the $250,000 now sought is subscribed the erection of the mill at Fairville will be begun. Steps have also been taken to introduce the stock in the United States and in England, with what are believed to be excellent prospects of success.

The company have now made satisfac- tory arrangements with the City of St. John as to water supply, and are ready to proceed with the work of construction as soon as they are financially in a position to do so.
