LARGE PROPERTY TRANSFER
Bryan-L ucas Lumber Company Pur-
cnases John Teal'5 Mill South of
Falls City.
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.
