 Hardwood Lumber Company of that city. Mr. Fuilbrigbt also at the 

 same time purchased stock In the company from J. 11. Phlpps In the 

 sum of $10,000, and from W. P. McNalr in the sum of $2,700. The 

 transfer of this stock is the forerunner of considerable changes and 

 enlargements In the company's future busines-i plans. In the last annual 

 statement, the company's assets were shown to be $474,981.15, with a 

 surplus of some $60,000. In the near future the capital stock of the 

 company Is to be Increased from $250,000 to $400,000 and additional 

 money Is to be put Into the business. The company heretofore has manu- 

 factured spokes and handles, catering for the most part to wagon and 

 plow trade. In the future It Is planned to manufacture extensively auto- 

 mobile spokes, etc.. and increase the output of the factory materially. 

 The Fayetteville plant will be enlarged, the capacity and efficiency of the 

 company's other mills along its railroad, which extends through parts 

 of Madison and Franklin counties, will also be Increased. 



Wisconsin Lumber Company Sells Huttig, Ark., Mill 



The Wisconsin LumtK-r Company of Chicago has sold its mill at Huttig, 

 Ark., to the Frost Johnson Lumber Company and the Litter will use the 

 plant for the manufacture of yellow pine. When the Wisconsin Lumber 

 Company acquired this property live years ogo It made contracts which 

 were not carried out in full, and this Is given as one reason for deciding 

 to sell, but the determining factor was the manner in which rates on 

 hardwood logs and lumber have been advanced in southeastern Arkansas. 

 F. R. Gadd, vice-president of the company. Is authority for the foregoing 

 Information given out while he wns in Memphis.

Big Operation for West Virginia 



Work Is lieing pushed on the new lumber town made neeeniMiry by devel- 

 oping the operations of the Wilderness Lumber Company, formerly called 

 the Monger Lumber Company of KuHnellvllIc and Charleston. W. Vn. The 

 Monger company, as It was known at the time the transaction waa made, 

 bought a large boundary of timber of the Foulke Kslate several year* ago. 

 In fact, enough timber wns provided for a ten years' run. 



The Meadow Klver ItJiliroad, or rather the Sewell Valley Jlallroad, will 

 extend its line ten mllra down Meadow Uiver to Miller's Ferry in order to 

 give the Wilderness Lumber Company an outlet for Its lumber. The plant 

 will be erected three miles below ttussellvilie at Miller's Ferry, at which 

 place the mills of the company will be erected. Surveys are being made 

 now preparatory to general building operations to provide proper housing 

 facilities for the operators. It Is reported that the band sawmill to be 

 constructed will be one of the largest In the state.. It will probably be 

 a double band. 



Details of the operations of this company are given by the Aliis-Chalmera 

 Manufacturing Company of Milwaukee. Wis., which firm provided all the 

 sawmill machinery. 



In analyzing the operation, the .\Ilis-Chalmcrs company says that the 

 company own? about 20,000 acres of virgin timber, principally oak, poplar 

 and hemlock ; that some of this timber is very large, running up to 

 seven feet In diameter. The sawmill Is located about seventy-flve miles 

 southeast of Charleston, W. Va., and It Is expected to have tbc'logging 

 road completed about May 1. 



The Aliis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company secured the contract for all 

 s.iwniill equipment and orders have already been placed for the logging 

 equipment, including Ilelskr geared locomotives. The sawmill building 

 proper will he 60 feet wide by 22.'i feet long, with a re-manufacturing 

 plant addition 2S feet wide by 40 feet long. A OOOfoot tiinlier dock 

 behind the mill will afford excellent facilities for loading onto cars. The 

 power plant will be of steel nnd concrete construction, all other buildings 

 being of wood construction with steel siding and roof. 



The description of the sawmill shows that the machinery will be of the 

 latest design, includiilg many features new to mills of that section. Cer- 

 tain details of the designs make It require considerably less power to 

 run the rolls and add to the life of the gears. Also exclusive features 

 having to do with lubrication necessitate much less attention than the 

 ordinary types of boxes. The principal sawing units in the sawmill 

 proper are two eight-foot Allls single cutting band mills, two No. 2 sixty- 

 slx-lncb Allls one-piece frame edgers. a five-saw four-foot slab slasher, and 

 a ten-saw twenty-foot under-cut trimmer. 



The logs will be railroaded to the mill and dumped Into the log pond for 

 storage. The long logs will bo handled on the right-band mill, which will 

 take logs up to thirty-eight feet. This also will cut logs of the large 

 diameters. A three-block fifty-two-inch opening carriage to handle twenty- 

 four-foot logs with twelve-inch shotgun feed will be Installed on the left 

 side, while the right-hand carriage will be sixty-incb opening with four 

 blocks and a fourteen-lnch feed. 



The feature of the trimmer will be the spacing of the first two aaws 

 one foot apart in order to trim the odd lengths. Provision Is made for 

 taking stock direct from the edgers to the timber dock, where It Is not 

 desired to transfer to lumber sorter. 



The lumber sorter will be I.IO feet long. All stock sixteen feet and less 

 In length will be taken care of on one side, and over that length will be 

 taken care of on the other side. 



The re-manufacturing plant contains a four-saw Allls lath bolter, a Ave- 

 saw Allls lath mill and lath binder and trimmer, and it is intended to 

 pick stock for these machines out of the conveyor behind the slab slasher. 

 In connection with the sawmill there will be an electrically driven planing 

 mill, machine shop and dry kiln.

 Bringardner, Columbus, O., vice-president; H. L. Klrtley of Charleaton, 

 secretary. The offices will be In the Union Trust building, Charleston, 

 W. Va., in connection with the Peter Carroll Hardwood Company, ot which.
