In the fall of 1878 the firm of Kelley Bros, commenced lumbering operations in the province of Nova Scotia, establishing themselves at River Hebert. The partners in the concern are Messrs. S. B. Kelley and C. L. Kelley, originally of Calais, Maine, the former being the resident manager, while the senior member, Mr. C. L. Kelley, still resides in Calais. During the twenty years of their operations at River Hebert, the firm have encountered two serious losses. In the spring of 1881 a huge freshet carried away two driving dams, one hundred and fifty thousand feet of deals, one and one-half million feet of logs, and the saw mill, which had just been equipped with steam power, at a cost of $3,000. These were carried out into the Bay of Fundy, and became a total loss. This left the firm in a bad condition, there being on the stream one jam of logs of one million feet, and no way to get them out or manufacture them. The following summer Messrs. Kelley Bros, erected another mill, which they operated until August of 1892, when it was entirely destroyed by fire. In this instance, however, their season's logs had been manu- factured into lumber. Not easily discouraged, the firm decided to again rebuild, and the result is the mill shown in the accompanying illustra- tion. This mill is 70 x go feet, covered with sheet iron, and contains gang, gang edger, and lath machine. It is operated by two engines, 14 x 20 feet, fed by two tubular boilers. The annual output of lumber is about three million feet, the bulk of which is disposed of in the British market, being handled by St. John shippers. Boards, scantling, and lath are manufactured for the United States mar- ket. The timber in the woods is
