waste of the saving in which is sent
over and made into pulp. This plan
! is followed at Basin Mills. also. where
4 very large proportion. though not the
/ total, Of the supply comes ID the PUN
mill from the saw mill waste of James
| Walker & Company.
Thus. when you come to figure out
the actual amount Of what might be
termed good spruce timber cut ana
consumed for and by the pulp mill YOU
discover that the total is so small as
to be less than most of the smallest Of
the saw mills on this river cuts up
alone in one season.
There are some secondary issues to
the question. too. For instance, the
pulp mill operates all the year around
paying out money in very large guam
titles to hundreds of people who secure
Il steady living from that source. The
PenObscot mills alone pay out in this
way So, 600 monthly, making an annual
total that must figure very heavily in
the material prosperity Of this part of
the State, as practically the whole
amount remains at home.
Then there is the difference in the
cost Of manufacturing. To manufac-
turc 900 feet of boards in a saw mill
costs, reckoning everything, $l.50. In
the pulp mill the cost of manufacture
rcr thousand is $3.50. and if the manu-
facturc Of paper is carried on there too
you can add s. more. making the total
amount Of money distributed for each
thousand feet made into stock $11.50
for the pulp and paper mill against the
81 80 of the lumber trade"
AS to the waste in both mills. the
only thing If that sort in the pulp mill
is the bark. In the saw mill the waste
amounts. it is reckoned, to 50 per cent.
Much Of that latter waste is now find
ing its way into the pulp mills. as |
showed you above.
so far as the supply goes, fer many
years it will be sufficient to keep the
pulp trade in stock. Thousands OF
acres of available forest are still UNI
touched. the Mattawamkcag river
alone furnishing an almost ineXhauS-
tible supply.
What | want you to understand is
this. that the pulp business is consum-
inc less than the lumber mills are.
while the former can be considered as
immensely more important in the way
they benefit the community. The
amount Of capital invested in the six
Penobscot mills. not counting the
Great Northern at Millinocket. is ST.
~ 900. ana YOU can easily see that that
great interest must mean something
t. the pc0pl, Of this part of the state.
Mr.. Lyman further AYERS that the
pulp ana paper mills are the better
pieces, Of property to have in a state.
He says that the mills run a hours a
day. employing men, day ana night.
Furthermore. they give employment
the year around. on the other hand
the saw mill is run for only a certain
rnrtion Of the time and then but 10 or
II hours each day. while it employs
fewer men.
