1t Is estimated that one million feet OF
hemlock timber will produce $50 cords Of
hemlock bark. The Extract Works can
use 10000 cords per year, so that about
14,000,0 900 feet Of hemlock will be requir-
ed to be cut each year to keep the factory
In operation. One saw mill could be en-
ployed in cutting the timber. The Extract
Works, therefore, not only make bus
mess Of It's own, but Is the means Of
bringing large amount Of hemlock tim
Der to the mills. 1t is very desirable
addition to the Industries of Alpena.
