REDWOOD LUMBERING. 7! 



Korbell Brothers & Company, or rather the Humboldt 

 Mill Co., and the Arcata & Mad River Railroad combined, 

 employ some two hundred men at mill, in logging camps, 

 and upon their railroad, which terminates at Arcata, located 

 on the extreme northerly arm of Humboldt Bay. The rail- 

 road performs service beyond the freighting of lumber from 

 their own mill, which has a capacity of from 60,000 to 70,000 

 feet per day. The timber possessions of Korbell Bros. & Co. 

 are large, but precisely how large have never been made 

 known to the local authorities of Humboldt County. There 

 seems to be no doubt, however, that future contingencies were 

 provided for before the track of the railroad was laid to the 

 Blue Lake region on the north fork of Mad River, or the sills 

 laid for their complete saw-mill. 



The Gualala (Walballa) Mill Company of Mendocino 

 County, composed of S. H. Harmon, Capt. C. L. Dingley, 

 J. H. Anderson, F. & W. B. Heywood, better known under 

 the firm name of Heywood, Harmon & Co., have every facil- 

 ity for manufacturing redwood lumber. A mill with capacity 

 for cutting 50,000 or 60,000 feet per day, and logging roads 

 tapping a forest owned by them of 20,000 acres, require the 

 services of some two hundred workmen. 



R. G. Byxbee, successor to H. B. Tichenor & Co., em- 

 ploys at his mill in Mendocino County one hundred and fifty 

 men. The timber reserve of Mr. Byxbee is said to cover 20,- 

 ooo acres. 



Henry Wetherbee, successor of the old firm of Wetherbee 

 & McPherson, has also large interests in Mendocino Count}-. 

 The Albion River Mill which he owns is supplied with logs 

 from the Albion River, Pudding Creek, and other tributaries.
