GEN. AIGER INVESTS.
"a ana Hf. Associates Pay s1.Soo, 900
/ Tor 100000 Acrea of Southern
q Timber Land

Ex-Secretary Russell A. Alger and his
associates have just cou.pleted the pur-
chase of 10000 ncres of choice long
leaf yellow pine timber lands. situated
In the counties of Escanaba, Conecuh.
Monroe and Baldwin. in Alabama, eN-
kenNnR from the Alabama river on the
north to the Florida state line ON the
louth. The purchase was made from
Martin II. Sullivan, the millionaire tim
Der king OF the south. The price paid
was 81. 100000.
Gen Alger and his associates will i'm
mediately organize n corporation TO be
known as the Mger-Sullivan Timber
company. They will build on these
lands several fine mills and the neces-
sary railway trucks for carrying on
the export timber business to which
they will devote most of the lands The
mills will have capacity Of 10000 zoo
feet per annum.
From government reports 1t appears
khnt the forests are fast being depleted,
and hence the great wisdom otnorth-
western enterprise in securing this,
the last large body of timber land in
the south. This land being connected
by water with Pensacola, the logs can
be foated direct to the mills, while
ample railway facilities afford tr.lns-
portation to the wharves for shipping
the timber to foreign ports. Included
IN this purchase by Gen. Alger is the
finest wharf Mt Pensacola, upon which
the new company will expend 100000
In improving and extending. The water
Is OF sufficient depth for the largest
ocean-going steamers to come along
side. The South Atlantic squadron.
headed by the New York. anchored out
in the bay in front OF it about three
weeks ago.
The American Car company of De
troit, Mich. of which the ex-secretary
Is one of the largest stockholders. II is
understood. will erect extensive works
at Pensacola for building cars, They
will place in charge some Of the most
expert workmen in their employ, many
of them having 20 or so years expert
ence. The chief object in Locating the
works and sending the labor south is
that the transportation OF the timber
to the works north is almost rs much
rs the cost of the material itself.
