The compl,tion Of the Bangor & Aroos-

AT the present time one hundred million
feet Of Aroos.ook timber is annually cut

Streams ito the St. John river ami TO Nes
Brunswick where il is manufactured By
Provincial lab II and returned 70 the United
States free of duty. To Gu. this tint

gore he labor o: 300 men aad 800 tssms
/ ,t ar annual expenditure OF about $40, 000
To convert this timber into lumber will
| rtq lire the labor OF 1000 men at sn annual
co.t Of about $3.50 coo. Thns !. will
| hs seen that il Aroostook lumber is manu-
facluFed in Aroostook, $50 600 will be
pad Gu: annually fer labor. 10 Tuanusac-
| ture this lumber will require the invest
ment Of about 100000 in mill plants. II
viii take 800 cars TO convey this lumber
70 market, and fraction over &c care load

whsa we consider the immense freigh

that there viii! be enough freight 20 keep
what will be the conn ling railway lines in
Arccs,ook fully employed.
There nay or may not be gold mines in
