DEERFIELD VALLEY NUMBERING.
Extensive timber lands. which have been
hitherto untouched, are being developed
this year in southern Vermont. and the
log driving operations, that have been.
in the upper Deerfield valley for several
years. have been done away with, as a
result Of the building Of a narrow gauge
railroad from Mountain mills, extending
IS 10 miles up into Somerset. with a
branch line extending one and a half miles
into Glastonbury township. The road was
incorporated under the Vermont laws BY
the Deerfed Lumber company. and is eX-
clusively for log hauling. Since the open
Ing of the road early In the winter, lO, 400
feet of spruce logs have been brought
down daily, the mills turning out about
so 900 feet of lumber each day. The road
taps a large area Of virgin forest. and 1t
Is expected that the lumber mills in the
upper Deerfield valley will be kept busy
throughout the year instead OF only a
few months at a time. as was the case
when the logs were driven down the river
with the spring freshets.
