The mill operated until 1903. In 1909, an English group constructed a mill in Grand Falls. In 1925, the Newfoundland Power and Paper Company built a mill in Corner Brook, which later became the Bowater's Newfoundland Pulp and Paper Mill. The harvesting of pulpwood to supply the provinces large paper mills continues to be a major component of Newfoundland's forest industry. Today, thousands of residents in most small communities on the Great Northern Peninsula still rely on the forest for part of their subsistence or income.
People earn their wages from logging, sawing, trucking, or silviculture.
Change in logging technology has increased the number of unemployed loggers. Power saws and mechanical harvesters have replaced crosscut saws and axes, diesel powered porters now remove wood from the cutting area instead of horse and sleigh, and trucks have replaced the traditional river-drive and boat as the mode of transport to distant pulp and paper mills and markets . .
