PRODUCTION OF
 PULP MILL NOW
 BE SPEEDED UP
Needed Material Has Been Sent to Speel River-Work
 Going Along Smoothly.

That affairs are running smoothly at the Speel River plant of the Alaska Pulp and Paper Company is the word received today by w. P. Lass of the company who left there for Juneau on January 25. Two shifts are being worked in the mill and about two and half tons of pulp is being made on each shift. Quantity production could not be obtained as yet owing to the lack of buffers for the grinders. Twenty five of these were sent to the plant yesterday on the gasboat Santa Rita and upon their arrival things will be spceded up.
 F. S. Ring, pulp engineer, in writ ing to Mir. Lass, was enthusiastic about the quality of pulp being pro- duced Speaking of some spots that could be seen on some of the sam pies of pulp, he stated that it had been found to be iron rust from the screens that would be leiminated in a few days.
 Two outfits are cutting logs for the plant, the McKay-Johnson log ging firm and a number of Hoonah natives. Both gangs are cutting in the Sweetheart Creek area near Snettisham.
 Alaskan Concern.
 That there is material in Alaska capable of operating any industry that may be established is evidenced by the fact that the three shift bosses at Speel River are Alaskan boys of many years residence. They are John Green Brady, Jr., son Of former Governor J. c. Brady. F. A. Rapp who spent his boyhood in M- neau and was educated in the Ju- neau public schools and the Univer- sity of Washington, and Leo Till a resident of Alaska for the past fif- teen years and former assayer at Ne vada Creek and at Treadwell. These young men working under F. 5. Ring, the pulp mill engineer, have become quite proficient in the busi- ness and are capable of managing the mill on their shifts.
 History of Plant.
 The preliminary work on Alaska s first pulp mill was started the mid dle of last May when Leo K. Ken nedy left Juneau for Speel River with crew of men to start clear ing of the gruond and building houses for the accommodation of workmen.
 After the dwellings were erected work was started upon a wharf. In the meantime w. P. Lass, E. P. Ken nedy and officials of the Alaska Pulp and Paper Company had ar rived and were giving their personal attention to the work. saw mill was erected to saw out wharf tim bers and upon the completion of the wharf work was started on the pulp mill foundation end on pipe line from the water power site to the mill.
 Late in the Fall the pulp making machinery arrived and was put in piece, the pipe line having been con- nected and work started upon the installation of the machinery. The last of the machinery was in place before the first of the year Expert mental work was carried on, parts adjusted and on January "A pulp was actually produced, the first ship ment leaving for Juneau on Jan uary 25, eight months after the first work was done on the project.
