H A Hkeels, of Kingston, Msbo, has
secured it lease on the pla I to lake
effect March 1st. MrSkeels is an ex
perienced mill man, and Will Oo duet
the plant along modem lines.
Yesterday N A Skeels, son of the
lessee, arrived here and will start iu a
lew days for the upper Willamette
and Kali Creek sections to make log
ging contracts. Iu conversation witli
a Ouakd reporter today Mr iskeels
stated that the mill would be thorough
ly overhauled and reuovated. 'the
capacity of the present pluut is about
20,00' feet per day, and this they ex
pect to raise to .i.',000 or 40,000 feet per
day. The machinery in the mill at
preseut Is in very good condition and
enough new machinery will be added
to supply their needs.
The mill pond is a large one, said lo
have a capacity of 7,000,000 feet of logs,
so that long and steady runs are
assured.
The constant operation of this plant
will be a decided advantage to this
section of Lane county, as well aa the
limber districts tributary.
