Fire Losses Prompt Golden Gate
To Discontinue Lumber Output
The Golden Gate Timber Lands,
Inc.. of Eugene, will not rebuild
the sawmill on the McKenzie
Highway which burned early
Thursday morning, President J. H.
Jones announced Saturday. Lo
cated eight miles above Blue Riv
er, the mill ' was partially de
slroyed, throwing a crew of about
17 men out of work.
"The fire not only destroyed
the mill, but also burned up a
sizeable stock of high grade lum
ber," Jones said. "The loss in
equipment and lumber could not
be replaced at present prices for
under $75,000."
Jones said that the main source
of supply for his company came
from the McKenzie River unit and
that the loss has brought about
the decision to close the plant.
"As soon as the present Inven
tory of lumber now on hand can
be worked and shipped, we will
withdraw from the producing
field, Jones explained. "How
ever, the wholesale department
will be maintained in full swing,
occupying the present offices and
doing business as usual."
He Indicated that it is toocarly
to state what disposition will be
made of the physical equipment.
There is a possibility that the
plant may be either sold or leased
as a unit or it may be dismantled
Jones stated.
When questioned as to the pos
sibility of ever re-building or re
entering the producing field, Jones
replied that "one never can tell."
He said that the loss of the plant
on the McKenzie will probably
deal a hard blow to the economy
of the area.
