Pulp mills in Canada Continued.

Besides those given, an English syndicate is arranging for mills 

 in the Saguenay and Ct. John country, with the chief mills at Alma 

 Island, Grand Discharge. It is proposed to spend $2,000,000, and 

 the minimum output is to be 450 tons. 



St. John, New Brunswick, is erecting a pulp mill at Mispec, 

 which will be operated by English capital; this will manufacture 

 mechanical pulp. 



A strong company proposes to utilize the great water power at 

 Grand Falls, about 220 miles above St. John. A canal will be dug 

 joining the basin of the river with the stream above the falls, which 

 have a sheer drop of 70 feet. 



The Mispec Mill has an output of 50 tons daily, and is considered 

 one of the best equipped mills on the continent. The two mills at 

 Chatham, New Brunswick, have an output of 50 to 60 tons per day, 

 while the one at Grand Falls is estimated to turn out 100 tons. The 

 promoters in this case talk of manufacturing paper also. 



Mr. George Robertson, ex-mayor of St. John, New Brunswick, 

 says there is also to be a mill at the mouth of the St. John which 

 will turn out 50 tons daily. The capital, chiefly Canadian and Brit- 

 ish, will be $500,000.
