BLACK RIVERS LOG CUT.

Seasons Record.

Some Seventy Million Feet Short of Last
Seasons Record.
Black river logging having come to
an end for this season, the fact is dis
closed that the river, as a whole, is
somewhat short of the proposed cut.
The heaviest operators, who log also on
Chippewa, are fully up to the mark, but
their supply viii not come chiefly from
Black river, and those relying wholly
on this stream all report curtailment-
The cut will hardly go above loo, 600, 900,
which is 10000, 900 short of last year,
and so, 900, 900 below the average. This
is caused by the late season for one
thing, which is supplementary to the
fact that few started in for full cut.
The mills will have their full supply,
but very few logs will go below.
