house. Its dimensions will be 16x5O
feet. These facts and figures" will
convey at the best bat q poor idea OF
the completeness in all its appointments
Of this the finest mill ON the Coast. 1t
u, perhaps, not 80 much in the novelty
of It's arranQement a. in its solidity and
inaaBivenesB that this neW structure
challenges admiration. II Il intended
that steam power shall expedite the
work a. muoh a. poasjble. The litter or
hosting machine viii perform the work
Of twenty men at q great saving of
time. Turing tbs time of my visit work
on the new Wharves was progressing
rapidly. II il not expected that the
mill will commence operations before
the LOT 1853. The cutting capacity Of
the mill viii probably reach ~, 900 fest
per day. The pony gang - estimated
- have = capacity Of $4,000 fest per
day. Az minated above, the WhaIvoo
Of the company are being improved, re-
built and enlarged. A net work Of tram
ways will furnish ample facilities for
dispatch in the matter Of transferring
lumber from the mill TO the ship. In
fact mill sud ship viii b brought di-

6 school children in tho district, many
of them, however, being half.breeds,
who do not attend. The IA or Is, how
ever, Who do attend get the benefit OF
the money drawn on account Of tho

A few words concerning the
OUTLOOK Yol THE LUXB11 rRADR.
While tho Starr was taking on water !
availed myself Of the opportunity to OK
change q few words with Mr.. Thomas
3. Farmer on the subject Of the prOba-
bio demand for lumber in the future.
He informed me that in his Judgment
the prospect was never better, or even
90 good a. af the present time. To say
nothing of Australia, China, South
America and other plSoes, Mr.. Farmer
said that the new era Of railroad build
inc, Just inaugurated in Mexico, is
bound to have an appreciable effect upon
the demand fer lumber. In fast, said
be, the Mexican market ID bound to as
sumo something Of the Dimensions Of =
bonanza. All Of this will no doubt
prove cheering news to the whole Sound
country. tho numbering interests being
80 intimately connected with the growth
and prosperity of this section.
From this place I viii visit Seabeck
and other points Of interest ON Hoods
