. Canadian forest industries 1910. Lumbering; Forests and forestry; Forest products; Wood-pulp industry; Wood-using industries. CANADA LUMBERMAN AND WOODWORKER 45 roof of the living room from an- overheated chimney and was soon communi- cated to the planing mill below. The building and contents, including household goods, planing mill machinery, dry kiln and several thousand feet of lumber were a total loss, estimated at about $70,000, with no insurance. The mill and residence will be rebuilt at once. Reports are to hand concerning large sales of pulpwood to the Quebec & St. Maurice Industrial Company, as representatives of the Chaudiere Improve- ment Company. The negotiations, which involve a total of about 130,000 cords cf wood, are being carried through by the Chaudiere Improvement Company in which B. C. Howard, the Chaudiere Lumber Company, Silsby Lumber Company, and the Beauce Pulp & Lumber Company are interested. The prices named are said to be $ per cord for rough wood and $ for hand-peeled wood, Chaudiere. Whether this deal will affect B. C. Howard's proposed plan to build a pulp mill at St. George de Beauce is, it is understood, not settled at present. Mr. A. E. Hamilton, whose large woodworking factory at St. John, , was recently burned, is making good progress with the work of rebuilding' About forty men are at work, and Mr. Hamilton claims that he will be ready to do business early in March. The new mill will be larger than the old one the main building being 80 x 100 feet and two storeys in height. The dry kiln will be 55 x 42 feet. Mr. Hamilton intends to put his business into a stock company with a capital stock of $75,000, of which $25,000 is to be preferred and the remaining $50,000 common stock. Twenty thousand dollars of the pre- ferred stock is to be sold in St. John, and among those who have already pur- chased are T. H. Estabrooks, Thomas Nagle, W. B. Tennant, J. Willard Smith W. E. Earle and J. M. Queen. Western Cana
