Trout fishing has commenced, We
have heard OF several nice strings being
caught. What has become Of the fish
and game clubs which were going to pro-
tect the trout?
The following statement proves what
we have heretofore asserted, that G.. w.
Bradley's steam mill, at this place, is one
of the best, If not the best mill in the
state. During the six days of the past
week, running only IL hours per day
and Saturday IL hours, the mill cut
So, 5G5 feet of lumber. or nearly an aver
age OF $1,000 feet daily. The cuttings
were principally and Ia inch floor
ing aud small timber. The flooring is
all made OF uniform size like Albany
lumber, and 10 inches wide, and, Of
course, is sawed from small logs. The
lath gang also cut an average of 90
punches OF 100 pieces each day. There
was also shipped over $1,000 feet, and
the boards and flooring were all squared
aud piled in good shape, and one plan
ing and matching machine was run
good part of the time. The mill employs
on an average IL TO IS men and boys,
the principle being A. l.. Warner, super
intendent; r. j. Walker, engineer; Ezra
Mercure, sawyer; Samuel p. Meeker,
log turner, and the lumber was taken
away aud Tailed by Thomas Conlin. The
lath saw was run by Clarence Gregory,
Chas. Milleit aud John Bull This
amount of work was not done as test
of what the mill Is capable Of doing, but
is n sample OF what is done every week,
1t would be hard to find better set o:
men in any manufacturing establishment
in the state. All are steady, of good
habits and men who do their work
cheertully and well, without profanity or
grnmbling. 1t is model establishment
Of its kind.
