Foley Bean Saw Mill Plant at Milaca Did
.,z,sfr III Business in 1899. =;
= The Foley-Bean Lumber company of
Milaca, shut down on the Goth inst. af-
terra most successful seasons work,
says the ST. Cloud Journal Press. The
plant was put in operation April 20,
and twill thus be seen that the mill
has been at work exactly seven
months to a day. During this period
the output has been just forty million
feet Of lumber, or six millions more
than the cut Of 1895. - x -.
=. Three hundred and fifteen men have
been given employment the greater
portion Of the. time, this number being
on the pay roll the day the mill shut
down. 1t will be interesting to know
that OF the immense output of lumber
for the saving season of 1899 a. gain of
stock on hand OF but five million feet
was made. In other words while forty
millions were cut, thirty-fve millions
were shipped. OF course the company
had nearly an equal amount in the
yards before the saving season com
menced and is in good position to fill
all orders even at the present time,
despite the great quantity marketed.
The output has gone principally tc
southwestern points. Five million
feet OF selects or shop lumber has found
Il market in Chicago and another. five
