Finely Equipped Saw- mill at Field New Plant Erected by Mageau Lumber Go. in the Nipissing District to Replace the Mill Burned Down Last Year, Possesses Many Features of Interest—Rapid and Economical Production and Model Arrangement of Equip- ment—Gutting Capacity of 60,000 ft. Daily— The Personnel of the Organization Z. Mageau, Sturgeon Falls, Ont. H. O. Tremblay, Field, Ont. Up in the Nipissing district a new sawmill started operations recently with a cutting capacity of 60,000 feet a day. The plant is that of the Mageau Lumber Co. .and the location is at Field where the first mill was built by the firm in 1914 with an output of 16,000 feet daily. This was increased to 22,000 feet two years later and a new mill was built in 1917 with a production of 36,000 feet. Two years later the circular saw was changed to a double cut band which increased the output to 45,000 feet. This mill was burned in Oct- ober 1922, and reconstruction operations were soon started on the same site. The main part of the new mill is 36 x 132 feet and the lath mill annex 28 x 44 feet. The engine room is 24 x 28 feet; the boiler room 32 x 42 feet and the sorting sheds 26 x 146 feet. The output of the mill is chiefly white pine with a small percentage of red pine, and the equipment, which was supplied by the E. Long Mfg. Co., of Orillia, consists of a double cut band saw, 8-foot wheel; 40-inch heavy duty carriage; steam set works; heavy duty centre drive gang edger and a lath mill and bolter. Power is supplied from two Frost engines 18 x 20 feet. "The band mill has been giving the very best of satisfaction since the first day we started operating our new mill and has not required one minute's special attention. Wie do not think it would be possible to get better service," remarked an officer of the Mageau Lumber Co. T
