oun rnmmented on the increase In capital stock of the Issaquena Lumber 

 Company, Issaquena, Miss., on the main lino of the Yozoo & Mississippi 

 Vnlli'y railroad, about Ihlrty-flve ndles norlh of VIeksburg. The capital 

 stock was originally $lin).ooo, with W. K. Ili'yser and Weaver Haas as the 

 only stockholders. The stock Is now tllT.'i.fKio all paid up. 



While the old compauy was simply an operating company drawing on 

 the timber tracts of the Issaquena Land Company for Its logging supplies, 

 the new company has absorbed both the operating and the holding coin 



panics, having acquired nil of the 

 timber bohllngs of the Issatjueiia 

 Land Company as well as other ad- 

 ditional liniherlanii, and also quite 

 a number of timber rights. 



The new oOlcers are C. D. 

 Mitchell, i)resldenl; W. E. Ileyser, 

 vice president ; ILiward Mitchell, 

 secretary treasurer. Weaver Haas 

 Is general managiT and .1. F. Wei 

 gont sales manager. The Messrs. 

 Mitchell were recently large stock- 

 holders In the Chattanooga I'low 

 Company, but sohl their Interest In 

 that concern to enter the lumber 

 field. Howard Mitchell Is also 

 president of the Conimen'lal Ilnnk 

 & Trust Company of Chattanooga, 

 Tenn The other stockholders of 

 the newly organized company are 

 the Messrs. Bloomfleld of Jackson, 

 .Mich. 



The Issaquena Lumber Compony 

 as It now exists has an exceptionally 

 strong backing as compared with the 

 usual hardwood operation In the 

 Soutli. and with an unlimited work- 

 ing capital it p.xpects to cut steadily 

 until the last timber Is cut. 



The Issaquena mill has been 

 closed down since the last of Octo- 

 ber, 1014, but Is now in full opera- 

 tion, .nnd is turning out some of the 

 Hiiest hardwood lumber that has yet 

 been cut. The stock in the yard Is 

 somewhat low at the present time, 

 but by cutting 1,.''>00,000 feet a 

 month this condition will soon be 

 overcome. It is expected a regular 

 stock of 7,000,000 or 8,000,000 feet 

 will be carried at the mill. 



The timber holdings of the com- 

 pany consist of oak, gum, ash, elm, 

 Cottonwood, cypress and hickory, of 

 as fine a quality as grows In Missis- 

 sippi. The compauy also has one of
