at main mill through a stone walled
canal about 10CG TT. long, at the head of
the canal there being a set of rein
forced concrete head gates which make
it possible to shut the water off from
the canal ,eatircly.
The water wheel equipment consists
OF two So degrees, $50 H. p. Samson
horizontal turbines which furnish pow
er for driving two az *. w. generators,
one air compressor one 500 gallon fire
pump located in the power room, to-

There are six sets Of stone grinders,

The product of this mill is a fine
wood flour used in the manufacture of
dynamite and linolem. The capacity
of the mill when running full time is
abot 10000 lbs. of flour per day of "a
hours, giving employment to sixty or
seventy men.
The raw material, consisting princi-
pally of wood delivered on cars on a

is blown over to a storehouse direct
from the car. From the storehouse an
other blower takes il as needed from
the storchouse, and delivers it to the
stock bins IN the main mill above the
grinders. The wood is taken to the
wood room in the main mill and pow
ercul cutters reduce il to the form of
coarse grains. Here a blower takes
this "stocll" and delivers it to the
stock bins above the grinders.
From the stock bins the graduated
wood and Sawdust is fed down through
hOpperS into the grinders where it is
ground to a condition resembling -four.
The grinders consist of stones directly
connected to water wheels, turning ut
a high speed.
After the "stock" has been ground
in the stones it is taken by the eIcva-
tors from. each stone to the rcfinerS on
the floor above where it is refined by
a process which removes the finer par.
ticles which constitute the finished
product and are taken over To the
press house by blowers, and the coarse
particles returned to tho stones to be
re-grourd
The finished product is delivered in
to stool bins above the press. From
the bins it is let down through hoppers
into the press. This powerful hydrau-
lie press puts the flour into solid bales
weighing about $50 lbs. Burlap and
baling wires are used to keep the bale
in shape and the pressure is removed
Here in the press house. the bale is

a great amount Of powder was manu-
featured for The United States govern

remember the large canvas topped cart

hauled the powder through specified
streets to the wharf in Portland from
whence il was shipped
When the Portland & Ogdensburg
railroad became a part of the Maine
Central the name of the town was
changed to NeWhall. and in 1898 a post

The old ard picturesque powder

modern mill has been erected on the
site, which manufactures not powder,
but IA wood Hour, which is used in.
making dynamite. and also for high
grade linoleums.
