Lumber company. That's the name
of the new company that has recent
" been organized By the Weyer-
haeuser interests to build n mill on
on Lake Nehagamain In northern
Wisconsin. At least that would be
the ma me II the English meaning Of
the Indain word" was used. There
are two ways Of spelling the name.
The lake Ia spelled as above, but the
town and the lumber company have
taken the shorter. way OF spelling
a d call the company the Nebaga-
m IN Lumber company. The COM
panv was recently organized at
Chippewa Falls, Wis.,, and the incor-
porators are VIM. Irvine, E. Rut-
ledge and E. L. Ainsworth. The
mill OF the company is in
progress of erection and the
machinery contract is to be closed
this week. The company will
manufacture into lumber the tract
of timber that is owned by the
Weyerhaeuser syndicate between the
lake where the mill is located and
lake Superior. The logs will he
hauled to the mill over the line OF the
Hawthorn. Nebagamon & Superior
railroad which in now in progress of
construction. Frederick Weyer-
haeuser saws that the company will
have a good mill and that the eighty
miles Of railroad will run through
their timber aud afford them besides
the facilities of logging by rail, an
outlet for the lumber after it is
sawed. The new line will connect
with the Chicago, St. Paul. Mime
apOlis and Omaha at Hawthorn,
and the line that runs nOrthward
from Nebagamon will cross both the
Northern Pacific and the Duluth,
South Shore and Atlantic railway.
When this railroad and mill are
built in northern Wisconsin, the
Weyerhaeusers are not then through
with mill and railroad building in
that part Of the country. They still
have a large amount of timber that
is located west uf the line of the
Omaha road. This ia owned by A.
Lamb, Dinock. Gould & co., Weyer-
haeuser & Denkmann and VIM.
Sauntry. There are two lakes in
this tract Of timber and either OF
them ia so located as to he avail
able for a mill pond. They are Ly-
man lake, and Amnicon lake, and
when the time seems ripe for an
other mill there will be- one erected
on one If these two bodies of water.
The line Of railway that will open
up the timber and afford means for
shipping out the lumber, will he a
western extension of the Hawthorn,
Nebagamon L Superiorroad. There
is nothing definite about the time
for the furtherance Of this latter en-
terprise but 1t will come sooner or
later. When that Is completed they
will be through with mill building
in that section, unless something at
present. unforeseen comes up. The
of trade will largely deter
mine the cor rse they will follow, and
Mr.. Weyerhaeuser thinks there is a
good promise for tradein the future.
There is every reason why lumber
should sell in large quantities and
Tor good prices during the remainder
Of the year. He says that trade
with his various companies
has been good during the
first half Of the year, and the latter
half Ia sure to exceed the six months
that have passed.
