has been pouring over the dams during
the recent warm weather, they have been
working night and day to use every pos

running to waste. They run all night,
and will continue to do SO as long as the
water holds out. The mill, as is known,
is leased tO the Mason Manufacturing
Co., and they have bought large guam
tity of lumber of all kinds this winter.
Besides large lot of long lumber in
both hard and soft wood, they have
bought about thousand cords of four
foot bolts, and this also is varied lot,
white birch for bowels, and all kinds of
hard and soft wood. This all being
piled up in the immediate vicinity of
the mill, fills that part of the village
pretty full. The day and night crews
as they are at work now number in all
about twenty men.
