Maddaugh is proprietor of another electrically driven mill, located on the boundary road, southeast of Vancouver City. This is operated by an 85 horse-power alternating current 2,000 volt motor. Messrs. McDonald & Bailey are operators of a sawmill located in the thick timber of Hastings Townsite, just east of Vancouver. Here they are turning out from fifteen to twenty thousand feet per day of fir and hemlock lumber, their plant being driven by a 125 horse-power alter- nating current 2,000 volt Canadian General Electric motor. Most interesting, however, is it to learn that probably the largest lumber manufacturing concern on the British Columbia coast—the Bri- tish Columbia Mills, Timber & Trading Company, Limited—have adapted this power to a mill they are operating on Burnaby Lake, near New Westminster. Here they have installed three Canadian General Electric motors, one a 250 horse-power 3 phase 2,000 volt motor, and the other two 60 horse-power and 10 horse-power respectively, for the operation of the mill, which is equipped to turn out lumber, lath and shingles. Other mills in the vicinity of Vancouver, now driven by electricity, include the following: Gibson's shingle mill, equipped with a 30 horse- power motor; Piper's sawmill on Burnaby Lake, equipped with a 100 horse-power 3 phase 2,000 volt motor, also three others carrying 220 volts and developing, respectively, 15, 7 1-2 and 5 horse-power, all Cana- dian General Electric motors; Geo. Doran's mill on Deer Lake, using a 50 horse-power motor; E. Mawhinney's shingle mill at Eburne, using a 40 horse-power 3 phase 2,000 volt Canadian General Electric motor; the Terminal Lumber & Shingle Company, Vancouver, using a 90 horse- power 3 phase 220 volt Canadian General Electric motor; the W. W. Stuart Lumber Company's mill
