 were obliged to "pass" an order just received, the profits of which would have been over $8000, because their stock was broken and .shey could not completely fill it. Some of our mills have loaded as high as fifty cars a day. A well stocked saw mill here now is almost equal to gold mine, which last ''re- mark" reminds me of boy who some years ago cierked it here ina grocery store, and being of rowing term of mind drifted down into New Mexico where he seems to have struck it rich" He sold claim a short time since for $500, 900 cash, and few days since told me he thought his interests there would aggregate million dollars. and he seems but boy now. I have written good deal from time to time about our saw mills. AL low meto enclose very good pen picture of 2 modem saw mill which has just been built here.
 A aIAssIyE MILL-The new mill is 306 feet long and 62 feet wide, two stories high with ventilating attic above and water basement below. ls is built of heavy beams staunchly supported, resting on solid masonry, with tightly enclosed sides and iron roof, the structure throughout bearing evidence of un usual soiidity. There is in fact, more timber in the mill than was necessary. but this adds to it's strength and durability. The building is well lighted with rows of windows and the usual wide portals, and is painted pleasing brown without and an attractive white with in. Y
 The motive power of the establishment pro- ceeds from five engines of an aggregate capac- ity of about 800 horse power, located on the first floor and propelled by double battery of nine boilers in two boiler houses-6ve at one side of the mill and four at the other-these boiler houses being roomy and well construct ed.
 The working machinery on the second floer, one half of which is now in full operation, comprises two forty-two inch gangs, one double rotary and one single rotary saw, three edgers, two trimmers, two gang iath machines, two bolters two shingle machines and con- plement of smaller saws and the necessary machinery for receiving aud handling the logs, conveying the lumber, etc. The mill is fitted with the latest improved mechanism, includ- ing perfect system for taking the logs to the saws. A long log ladder or jack inclines from the upper story to the log harbor. An endless chain carries the logs to the platform, adjusti- hle transfers throw the logs from the stanch- ions to live rollers. the latter carry the logs to the rapidly moving saws, first tothe rotaries slabDing and then to the gangs, and live rol- lers carry away theproducts to the smaller ma chimes and finally to the yards beyond.
 A pleasant filing room is fitted with the best impliments for this important department, in- cluding an automatic filing machine and three other filing and grinding machines. To the south Of the mill is real machine shop, SUD- piled with two iron lathes, a drill press, bolt cutter and iron planer- and where repairs are speedily and easily made. A two and half inch stand-pipe with conveniently disposed coils of hose furnish adequate fire protection for the mill and adjacent yards.
 Entirely apart from the saw mill proper is a blaming mill, 32x7O feet in size run by sep arate engine and supplied with surfacing, flooring, moulding, resawing and picket ma chimes; and near by is dry house, 60x1A feet in dimensions, for the storage of lumber for seasoning.
 The log harbor is protected by piles and piers, and the company have adequate ar- engagements for procuring supplies. They have already purchased for the seasons work fourteen million feet of logs.
 The tracks of the Chicago and Northwestern and Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul rail- ways run through the Clinton Lumber Con- pany's yards, giving them the best shipping facilities.
 The company will shortly employ, when fully started for the season, 175 men, to whom $7,OO0 will be disbursed monthly as wages They intend to cut twenty-five million feet of lumber this season, as against fifteen million invested in this business and are officered as follows: .y ;.
