IL, 1t was designed for twenty-Stamp mill,
bu. at present only half of that number is
used. The engine is 4O-horse power. There
is sufficient space in the engine room for an
other boiler, and during the coming snring

mill per week. using two inches Of water per
day and consuming three cords Of wood.
