THE CANADA LUMBERMAN JflLY, 1902 LUMBERING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA. The Provincial Government has given its final de- cision upon the proposition that special licenses should he granted providing lor the exportation of logs cut upon olher than Crown lands, and the decision abso- lutely prohibits such exportation. The decision settles apparently for all time to come a question about which there has lately heon much vexed controversy. Since the absolute prohibition of the exportation of cedar logs went into effect the shingle industry has experienced a period of activity hertofore unknown. New mills have been erected and the capacity of old ones increased. A syndicate of capitalists from Orillia, Ont. have purchased timber limits and are about to establish a large saw and shingle mill near Vancouver. The com- pany is composed of Mayor J. B. Tudhope and Messrs 1 H Laval'ee, William Tudhope, Allan Macpherson and George Chew. W. H. Strathearn is to be manager of the company. The old Green shingle mill on the north shore of False Creek at Vancouver, which was destroyed by fire some months ago, is now being, rebuilt by Welsh Bros., who formerly operated at New West- minster. An amalgamation of the saw mills in the Kootenay district has just taken place. The new corporation will have a capital of about $500,000 and will include the following mills : Archibald Leach, Cranbrook, 30 000 feet daily capacity and 12,000 feet at Palmer's Bar; Leask & Slater, Cranbrook, 20,000 feet ; King Mercantile Company, Cranbrook, 15,000 feet; McNab Lumber Company, Jaffrey, 25,000 feet. It is understood that the corporation have secured from the Canadian Pacific Railway the sole right to cut timber on the railroad timber reserves in East Kootenay. The rail- road also contracts to purchase from the corporation 8,000,000 feet of lumber annually, together with the lies required. Brunette Saw Mill Co., Limited
