Challes, of the Riordan Pulp and Paper Mills. A question under discussion was the cost of producing sulphite pulp. Figures were submitted representing the cost of three sulphite pulp mills that were built in localities with advantages in the manufacturer's favor, and the figures went over $10,000 per ton of produc- tion. ^ Two of the mills cost $300,000, and the daily production of each was 30 tons. An esti- mate is as follows : 2% cords of wood at $6 per cord, $; coal, $3; sulphur, $; lime, 70 cents; labor and salary in office, $7; wear and tear, $ These figures are based on the cost for manufacturing a ton of pulp, and do not include insurance, interest, taxes, freight or commissions for selling pulp, and yet they show a total cost of $30 per ton. The Sulphite Pulp Manufacturers' Association represents a daily production of 650 tons of pulp, only 50 tons being made by manufacturers not represented in the Association.
