A correspondent of the Tradesman
seems to think the large saw mill is
doomed. Twenty years ago he says,
the practice among lumbermen was 10
build mills as large as the capital Of
the builder would permit; sometimes.
unfortunately. larger. but only two o"
three exceptionally large mills have
been built in the northern pine regions
within the last ten years. ana the
largest one of that number has been
dismantled and is no longer used.
There never has been that craze TO"
large saw mills in the eastern states
that there was at one time in the
Northwest and perhaps in some parts
of the South. There have been and
still are few large mills in Maine and
northern New York. but it is doubtful
if there will be another mill built in
those states with anything like the
capacity of the larger ones still IN eX-
istence, as there is not the stumpage
that can be acquired by anyone con-
cerned that would warrant such
venture,
