A deal was closed this week wh. by the Bryan-Lucas Li m her Com pany pecomes the owner of ine stnvmill and timber land of John Teal, south of alls City. The property is known ns me Mountain Mill. The purchase price was $8,000. The sawmill was built by Mr. Teal about 20 years ago, and has been operated by himself and sons con tinuously since that time. The mill is a small one, but it is located in a good belt of timber, and Mr. Teal has turned out a great amount of lumber since it was built, all of which has found a ready market in the valley. When the Bryan-Lucas mill was built a few years ago, the latter company found it necessary, in flum- ing their lumber to Falls City, to use water from a tributary of Brown creek, the stream upon which the Teal mill is located. In the dry season, there is not enough water in this creek for Mr. Teal's use and to float lumber in the flume at the same time. It was doubtless a desire of the Bryan- ljucas Company to avoid this incon venience to both mills that led them to make the purchase of Mr. Teal's property. With the addition of this property, Messrs. Bryan and Lucas have added greatly to the value of their plant, and Mr. Teal says he is well satisfied with the price received. Mr. Teal will probably remain in the mountains and engage in stock rais ing on a large scale. T T"T TCTXTT7C O T A T o L. D. Brown, Public Stenographer With J. w. Hart.
