LOGGERS START BIG
CONTRACT FOR LOCAL
MILL, SEYMOUR CANAL
Cutting of a tract of timber on
Selmour Canal for the .Juneau Lum
ber Mills has just started by Sawyer
& Reynolds, according to C. T. Gard
ner, one of the members of the firm
who arrived here Saturday night
from the camp. The company ex
pects to log 1,600,U0U feet of spruce
from this area.
A second crew will be put on the
job after July 4th., said Mr. Gardner.
Work will be pushed and deliveries
made as rapidly as possible. There
is greater activity In the timber in
dustry in Southeastern Alaska at
present, he said, than for many years
and this will be one of the big
years.
Sawyer & Reynolds are also furn-j
ishlng pulp timber to the Alaska
Pulp & Paper Company at Speel
River. In filling its orders for this!
company it has been able to utilizej
hemlock logs cut for piles but which
were broken in felling and rendered
unfit for such use. In the past, said
Mr. Gardner, this kind of timber has
largely been wasted for lack of a
market. It has also been found pos
sible to cut other timber from piling
areas heretofore unsalable but which
is first quality pulp making material.
All of this finds a ready market at
the Speel River plant and both in
dustries have been benefitted.
