NU ARY, 1901 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN he has received propositions from capitalists who purpose erecting- pulp mills along- the railway as soon as it is completed. Chas. Lionais, civil engineer of Montreal, recently sold an iron pyrites mine at Garthby, Que., to a New York syndicate who have in view the erection of a sulphur factory at Levis. It is proposed to use the sulphur for the manufacture of pulp. About three years ago Randolph & Baker, of St. John, N. B., discovered magnesia lime in the lime rock about their quarry. Recently they have commen- ced to burn it and have shipped large quan- tities to the United States for use in pulp mill digestors. Sweden has 88 mechanical pulp mills, producing yearly 144,000 tons, dry weight of pulp. She also produces 125,000 tons of sulphite, and 38,000 tons of soda pulp. Norway has 61 mechanical pulp mills, with an annual output of 180,000 tons of soda pulp. The total production is, therefore : Dry tons. Mechanical pulp 324,000 Sulphite 212,000 Soda 46,000 Reporting on the wood pulp market in 17 X>TTON-SEED HULL PAPER. n American is said to have discovered ocess for treating cotton-seed hulls so the fibre attached may be utilized for ;jer making, and a company has been g led for testing the process experiment- jj. Regarding the system an exchange 1 ;irks that it is doubtful whether it is pos- i|e to so destroy the hulls, either me- linically or chemically, as to make the i e suitable for printing papers. The icessful resolving of cotton-seed hulls j lid be a matter of great importance to : julp and paper industry. There is an quantity of cotton-seeds produced nually, and attached to these seeds 1- e is a considerable quantity of valuable te. Hitherto they have been crushed 1 the extraction of oil, but their value in . direction would not presumably be i;cted by their use in paper maki
