B. Fredericton, , Oct. 2nd.—Further advices are to the effect that the pulp and paper mill project of the Grand Falls Co. Ltd., in New Brunswick will be of even greater magnitude than was at tirst announced. It is learned on good authority that the company, which has strong financial backing, will also operate a large saw mill, as well as engaging extensively in the development of the natural powers of the St. John River. At Grand Falls at the head of the St. John there is a possible development of 80,000 potential horse power, which could be sup- plemented with the available power below the falls, where some of the largest tributaries of the St. John have their confluence with that river. Although there are no great falls below Grand Falls, the descent of the river would admit of fully three dams being con- structed with a height varying from 15 to 20 feet, each of which would have a possible development of from 20,000 to 25,000 horse power. In all there would be about 150,000 horse power available at and below the Falls. This power would be continuous. The largest of these powers to be developed at once is that at Grand Falls. The power, which the Grand Falls Co. Ltd., will develop, however, will greatly exceed the requirements of the pulp and paper mill and the surplus power will be available for the stim- ulation of industrial development at Freder
