Their concession covers an area of about too square miles on waters cributary to the Rainy River. A syndicate of American capitalists has been negoti- ating- for the purchase of the Robitaille limits in the County of Bonaventure, Quebec Province. The pro- perty is 300 square miles in extent and is said to be worth half a million dollars, although the Robitailles are believed to have paid for it only $8 per square mile. After nearly a year of experimenting- A. Cushing & Company, of St. John, , have succeeded in a process which converts the waste of their sawmill into a pulp that is used in the manufacture of cardboard. It is not an entirely new process, but is new so far as the pulp industry in the eastern provinces is concerned. The firm have built a small mill in connection with their sawmill, which takes all the waste, even to the bark. The particular machine in use is the joint invention of Capt. Ellis, former manager of the big Cushing pulp mill, and Geo. S. Cushing, and they have got it patented. The firm will probably add a cardboard plant. They would then have sawmill, box mill, pulp mill and cardboard mill under the one management. The Sturgeon Falls Pulp Company, Sturgeon Falls, Ont., propose td operate their large paper mill by al- ternating-current induction motors throughout. Two Westinghouse type "F" motors are to be used to drive the variable speed shaft of the paper machines, and two 75 horse-power, type "C" motors will drive the con- stant speed line shaft of the same machines. Another 75 horse-power, type " C " motor will operate other machinery in the mill. A 15 horse-power induction motor will be direct connected
