KoA LUMBER SHIPMENTS.

The mystery over the location of a
new lumber mill in Petaluma. Cal, to
which reference is made elsewhere,
was solved yesterday in some degree
when it was learned that the steamer
Nevadan, of the American-Hawaiian
line, was taking on 5000 feet of koa
lumber to be delivered in San Fran
cisco. The shippers were Capt. r. T.
Guard and r. A. Lucas.
I'VE got. a request for 10000 feet of
koa,' said Captain Guard yesterday,
but we were not able to send 1t all
by the Nevadan though we have 3d.
600 feet on hand. After this we will
send at least 10000 feet month";
Asked if the lumber was destined for
the Petaluma mill he said that he
would not be surprised" if it went
there-Hawaii Herald.
