WOOD PULP
PAPER MILL
Alaska Spruce Attracting Pulp
Mill Owners to Northern
Shores
It looks as though there is go
ing to be au opportunity for those
with faith in this part of Alaska
to demonstrate that we have an
industry as yet undeveloped here
that has tremendous possibilities
i—the making of paper and paper
pulp from wood. Sitka spruce, as
it is called—our common spruce
—has paper-making qualities
unbeaten anywhere else in the
world. Realizing this, L. A.
Stockley, of San Francisco, who
was in this region a couple of
years ago, after securing data
011 the paper business, both the
making and the marketing has
secured the attention of Califor
nia capital and is now in the
country looking up possible sites
for a wood pulp and paper mill.
The best thus far visited is in
Thornc Arm above Sea Level
properties, where conditions arc
almost ideal. Timber in abun
dance is found, water power cap
able of producing an immense
amount of energy close to the
beach, a lime ledge of ample pro
portions, so necessary in the pro
duel ion o» paper, and all so close
make, it appear lliat nature had
prepared the spot especially for
thai purpose.
Associated with Mi. Stockloy
and representing the. peop! > be
hind the proposed m»!l are \V. ' .
Higelow, a pulp and paper null
man of New Hampshire, and Paul
E. Kink, a consulting engineer of
San Francisco. For the past
couple of weeks or so the party
has been at Thorne Arm, in com

service, exploring and estimating

available and the other details,
with the result that if a satisfac
tory understanding can bo arrived
at with the the Forestry Depart
ment a mill of about 100 tons
per day capacity will be con
structed. Tlio plant will man
ufacture both the mechanical and
chemical pulp, making a specialty
of news paper, for which there
is a demand of close to 100 tons
per day on the Pacific coast alone.
In addition to this there is a
good market in Japan and the
Orient in general for wood pulp
which is now shipped two-thirds
of tin? distance around the globe
from Germany and Norway.
In case nothing arises to inter

months, and the plant will be in
operation early in the spring of
1913.—Ketchikan Miner.
