. Canadian forest industries January-June 1919. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. I. aiHiii New mill of the Timberland Co., Ltd., looking north across Fraser River, with City of New Westminster in background New Timber Mill Erected in Record Time Plant of Timberland Lumber Co. Now Operating On Fraser River Possesses Splendid Location and Every Modern Manufacturing Facility Erected and fully equipped in less than six months, the new sawmill of The Timberland Lumber Co., Ltd., on South Westmin- ster waterfront, was started December 23.

The site com- prises 65 acres with 2,000 feet of water frontage, and 32 acres of fore- shore rights for booming grounds—approximately 100 acres in all. The iriain building is of very heavy type of construction, the dimensions being 52 x 280 feet, two storeys, the upper being the saw floor. The mill has been specially designed and equipped to handle heavy dimension and timbers up to 100 feet in length with speed and economy of operation, and has a capacity of 100,000 feet in ten hours.

The power plant consists of a battery of 72 in. X 18 ft. boilers supplying steam to powerful engines sep- arately operating the front and rear ends of the mill.
