Site Already Secured, Piles on the Ground and Boom Privileges Have Been Granted. Will Employ About 40. Practically all the money necessary to move the Reynolds mill from the bay to Coquille has been raised and the success of the undertaking is now almost assured. Of the $40,000 necessary, all but $8,000 was available the first of this week, and J. S. Lyons and S. M. Nosier have been making a personal canvass to raise that amount. All but six hundred dollars had been raised Thursday noon and they felt confident the balance would soon be in. A site has already been Tecured about a quarter of a mile below the depot, the piles are on the ground and boom privileges have been secured from the government, so that as soon as a meeting has been held and an organization completed no time will be lost in starting operations. Of the capital invested $27,500 is controlled by local business men and representa tive citizens, who are fully alive to the benefits to be derived from the enterprise and are vitally interested in the upbuilding of Coquille. The mill is a practically new one, having been built on Pony slough three or four years ago. A low estimate of its capacity is about 50,000 feet and it will employ about 40 men in the mill proper, meaning a pay roll of between $3,000 and $4,000 a month. All that is needed now is a united, determined effort and the deal will be com pleted. M. W. A.
