The mill has been used in this condition for five years, and, 

 with considerable repairing, can probably be used for about five 

 years longer. 



Moving Mill. The mill was moved a distance of six miles 

 and set up in the winter on a trestle work about eight feet above 

 the ground. The rollway is also on trestle work, and because 

 of the small space available for the mill site, contains an angle 

 of nearly 45 degrees. When the ground thawed in the spring 

 the foundation settled, making re-inforcement of the foundation 

 and re-alignment of the machinery necessary. The water supply 

 failed with the approach of the dry season. In addition to a 

 delay of about a month this necessitated an additional expendi- 

 ture of about $100.00 for water development. 



The angle in the rollway requires the services of an extra man 

 for turning logs, and even then often causes delays. The bank- 

 ing ground for logs is inadequate and it has been necessary to 

 stop logging at times because of the lack of space. The edger 

 is on the opposite side of the carriage track from the saw. The 

 logs used in the trestle work and rollway contain about 20 M. 

 feet, B, M. The trestle work rendered flooring of the mill nec- 

 essary, and this required 2 M. feet of lumber which would not 

 otherwise have been needed. About 3.5 M. feet B. M. were 

 used in roofing. 



The cost of moving and setting up the mill under consideration 

 is estimated at about $600.00, but for the reasons given above, 

 this cost is considered excessive. Another mill of about the 

 same capacity was moved the same distance and set up in this 

 locality for less than $200.00. The contractor expects to be able 

 to cut 4,000 M. feet B. M. at this set. This gives a cost of $0.15 

 per M. feet. 



Sawing. The mill, when running at full capacity, employs, in 

 addition to the contractor who is foreman and filer, the follow- 

 ing crew:
