S. L. Griffith of Dandy Now Opens
$4,000 Acres in One Solid Tract
Will Cut 100000 Feet This Win
ter.
Hon. S. l.. Griffith of Dandy has bought
of Grout Brothers $500 acres of timber
land located mostly In tho town of STRAIT
ton. on the property is a fully equipped
mill and boarding house and Mr.. Griffith
will pat i'm q gang of men to cut 2.000.00O
feet Of spruce here this season on the
tract there are upwards Of 10000 600 feet
of spruce timber. 100000 feet Of yellow
birch and thousands of cords of pulp
wood This land adjoins another large
tract owned by Mr.. Griffith giving him
l4.0ob acres Of timber land in a solid tract
on which there are at least 5o.0oo.oo0 feet
Of first growth spruce. This last pur-
chase makes him the owner OF between
forty and fifty thousand acres Of forest
land on which there Is standing today
from Ion To l2l million feet of spruce
This makes Mr. Griffith undoubtedly the
largest owner of spruce timber in the
eastern section of the United States.
Mr. Griffith now owns nine saw mills,
besides those owned in company with
Messrs. Mcintyre and G. S. Soule. For
these nine mills he expects to cut this
season -IOuu.nO0 feet of spruce timber
In this work he will use 2o0 horses and
80 Jokes of oxen. Every one of these an
mails is owned by Mr. Griffith and i'm ad-
dition he makes and repairs all the har-
ness, slods and wagons used in his bust
ness. Every mill is connected with the
main office 10y a private telephone sys-
tenn excepting the Arlington and Strattou
mills which have "a long distance tele-
phone connection.
The past year has been one of the most
prosperous ones I'm the history Of the lum-
her husins-s Mr.. Grittith cut upwards
of l5,UUi.o'1 feet last winter confident
that would euahl, him 10 $50 AN orders
hut last July he had To begin cutting and
drawing from the stump. lie is now
using 70 pairs of horses and J. yokes of
oxen drawing timber to his mills i'm Mt
Tabor and Weston, and estimates that
his total cut from December l. 1899, TO
December |, 1871, will amount to nearly
if not quite 100000 feet.
Although there has been a great ad-
vance in the price of timber lands owing
To the purchases made by the pulp COM
panies. Mr. Griffith says the outlook for
the year 1892 is as good as ever. He has
already contracted several million feet for
delivery in 1902 and is confident there will
be a brisk demand throughout the year
The building of so many houses, mills
and factories all over the country is a
sure indication of good times.
