One of the first important saw mills to be built on the north shore of Lake Huron is illustrated on this page. It was erected in the year 1883 by the Cook & Bros. Lumber Company and is located at Spragge, in the Algoma dis- trict. At the time of its erection it was con- sidered second to none, while it has since been remodelled in keeping with the advance that has been made in saw mill appliances. The annual product of the mill is about 23,- 000,000 feet of lumber and 5,000,000 lath, the annual capacity per day of ten hours being 140,000 feet. It is a steam power mill, having a battery of seven boilers. The equipment in- cludes two band saws, a gang, two edgers, and two trimmers, as well as lath machines, UTILIZING WASTE. According to the advanced bulletin of the 12th United States Census on the utilization of waste an! by-products, nearly all of what was considered waste products of lumber and tim- ber can be turned to some good use, and some of the new products thus formed are of consider able value. Of this latter class may be men- tioned sawdust, which was formerly considered an absolute waste material, and was allowed to float down stream or was thrown into a heap where it could be most conveniently disposed of. French cabinetmakers have found a way of preparing this material which gives it a value far above that of solid timber by a process that has been in vogue tor at least twenty-five or thirty years, combining the use of the hydraulic the first of its kind erected in that country. According to an English patent of 1897, saw- dust may be so prepared as to be non-inflam- mable, and then applied to jacketing of boilers and other purposes. In the Journal of the Socie
