USING THEIR RESOURCES

PRINCE RUPERT, Jan. 10. - "The eyes of the whole country arc on Queen Charlotte Islands these days" said Mr. A. R. Mallory yes ! terday, who is over in Prince Ru- pert for a day or two on business from Port Clements. ''The Islands are busier than they have been for long time, getting out spruce lumber for the governments de- mands for aeroplanes.
 Do you know that on Masset Inlet alone a first-class cruise gives to that district half of the availa- ble supply of spruce in British Co., lumbia?
 There are three mills operating now on the Inlet" continued MT Mallory, "and the fourth mill, the new one,e is rapidly nearing com pletion It is a thoroughly up-to- date one, and built on the most modern principles. Yes. That's the one Bill Lynch is connected with
 In the neigh borhood of Port
 
 Clements, every available building; is occupied and building operations are in progress to take care of the increasing population. Indeed, at times it is hard job for a visitor to find accommodation, but that state of affairs is fast being reme- died.
 In the southeIn part of tho 1S.- and the mill al Queen Charlotte City is expected to start up again this spring as well. Labor, while not too plentiful, can hardly be said to be really scarce so far as the present operations, both in the mills and in the woods, are concerned. Further arrangements are under way whereby the quality of logs brought to the mills will be in creased to very appreciable ex- tent, and while MT. Mallory was properly reticent regarding the de tails of such arrangements in the meantime, when asked about them still enough is known of the con- tell pidtSu uCFCloPhiChI III thC ioS- ging industry on the Islands to jus tify the belief that the present out put will be trebled and quadrupled in very short space of time.
 The brig "Benecia" which put ir to Prince Rupert early in Decem- Der, sailed about the end of the year for Australia with cargo of over a million feet of merchantable deals, from Port Clements, and this is said to be only the first of many such cargoes from northern British Columbia for the Antipodes.
 Altogether, the situation of the Islands looks particularly bright for the immediate future.

BINKLEY- THROWN

One never knows what isagoiag to happen next. During he past month Cupid played such q prank that at first the people of Wrangell refused to believe he report. However, investigation proved that there was no mistake about the Little Blind God having been on the job. It is a great big astounding fact that Capt. Charles E. Binkley and Mrs. Peg gy Brown are married, The knot was tied in San Francisco. A few days later the couple returned to Seattle.
 Capt. Binkley has been asso- ciated with Capt. Sid Harrington for several years. and is well known on the Yukon fromWhite- horse to Nome. He thoroughly understands river navigation, and has designed a number of boats that have proved specially fitted for river navigation. Sev- eral boats built by him are now being used successfully by the Alaska Engineering commission. Mrs. Brown grew up in the quaint and picturesque city of Tucson, Arizona She came north early in the year and spent the summer in Wrangell making many friends while here.
 It is supposed that Capt. and Mrs. Binkley will return north in the spring as soon as navigation opens on the Stikine.

New Mill Larger Than the Old and Con- tains Many Features That Will
 Aid Production Materially
Will Begin Cutting the Latter Part of February Capacity Will Be
 Between 40 and 50 Thousand

The new Wilson, Sylvester mill is nearing completion. The build ings are up, great deal of the machinery and the engines and boilers are in place, and the fin- ishing touches will require only a few weeks time. Within two months. the hum of the saw will be heard once more and Wran- gell's chief industry will be in operation again.
 It was last March that fire de- stroyed the old Wilson, Sylvester mill that had beehthe -if4aiirstdy' of the town for about 30 years. Men were suddenly out of en- ployment, the seasons box orders had to be cancelled and canneries had to look elsewhere for their boxes, and the loss to the entire community was a severe one.
 It was not until August that the work of rebuilding the plant began in earnest under the direc- tion of H. T. Hendricks of Everett, Washington. Meanwhile, the company had been reorganized with H. w. Gartley as business manager, and plans had been perfected for a mill that would be far superior to the old plant.
 The new mill occupies more ground than the old and contains features that will aid production very materially. The engines and boilers have concrete foun- dations, and there are large Dutch ovens in front of the boil CTS. Power set-works and steam feed are also among the improve. ments. The capacity of the mill will be between 40 and 50 thou sand.
 Manager Gartley stated in an interview this week that the mill will begin cutting the latter part of February. The first cut will be on lumber needed for the mill and will serve as a try-out of the plant after which actual produc- tion will begin. and about month later, the box factory will be started. The yard contains large amount of air-dried lumber for this seasons boxes and by the time that is used, more will be ready
 MT. Gartley stated that the out look for the coming season is promising. Coast mills are conf dent of a successful year which means that they will not care to try for the Alaska trade. Owing to the high freight rates, mills outside cannot compete profitably with Alaska mills for the local trade. MT. Gartley will make a business trip to the States early in the year in the interests of his company to make definite plans for the seasons output.
 The old Wilson, Sylvester mill supplied boxes for a great many
The Wrangell sentinel., 1918-12-26

of the canneries of Southeastern Alaska in the past, and lumber for outlying places as we'll as To- cally. The new company looks to it's customers of the past as well as to new ones for the patronage that will guarantee the future success of the new plant. A uni form degree of excellence will be maintained in the manufacture of lumber and boxes, and a depend able product may be secured from this mill at all times.

 The judges, P. c. Mccormack. w. H. Warren and Mrs. M. O. Johnson, were the unanimous choice of the contestants and while they retired to decide the contest, the Misses Irene Coulter and Ruth Lindman rendered a piano duet followed by an encore.
