The neat appearance of the many workmen's cottages, the new planing mill, machine shop, power house, etc., all indicate the prosperity of this concern. Their triple battery of boilers, with automatic feed, develops over 400 horse power to drive the ponderous machinery. The engineer in charge said there was only a loss of 14 per cent, through feeding the wet saw- dust automatically, this loss being entirely due to the dampness, but this will be offset to a large extent when the planing mill gets to work and shavings will be used, The fir is not as large in the mountains as on the coast, the average being 24 to 30 inches diameter at the stump, very tall and smooth. The mountain tamarac will run all the way from 18 to 48 inches in diameter on the stump. Cedar will run from one to five, and even six feet, at the stump. It is peculiar how the timber varies and planing mill is in operation here, in charge of Mr. R. B. Benedict, a splendid type of younger lumbermen, and formerly of Minnesota. They have a daily capacity of over 25,000 feet, with a very large percentage of clears. A new boiler, engine and a Berlin matcher and planer are to be installed and the capacity of the mill increased. They employ about 75 men and the total cut this year will run over six million feet.
