II According to the Braxton Democrat,
R: NJ. .Cavendish has been engaged for
several weeks in surveying a large
boundary otland belonging to the Par
dee & Curtain Lumber Company. This
land lies on Elk, Holly5and Camp run,
in Braxton and Webster counties, and
embraces about 10000 acres, all OF
which except about 5000 acres is in
Webster county. Mr.. Cavendish ex-
poets to complete the survey about
the first OF April. This land was pur-
chased while the company was operat-
ing mill In Sutton and the poplar
timber from this large boundary was
manufactured here. The land was
bought in fee at prices ranging from
$3.50 to $3.50 per acre in most in
stances. The surface and coal will
now bring several times the price
paid for the land, and besides there is
yet much valuable hardwood on it.
In addition to this boundary the Par
dee & Curtin Lumber Company owns
the Pratt $1,000 acres in Webster
county, their realty holdings In that
county aggregating about $4,000
acres. The Pratt land is covered with
as fine poplar timber as is to be found
in the state and big lumber operations
will no doubt be begun there within
a few years. 1t is estimated that it
will take tho Pardee 6 Curtin Com
pany seven years to compete its oper.
ations in Nicholas county, at which
time, or perhaps before, its attention
will doubtless be directed to the man.
