The Lumber industry of the
United States now has its principal
producing eenter in the Pacific
Northwest, where the timber re
sources are located; it i& predicted
that the pulpwood producing center
of the future will be in Alaska and
the Pacific Northwest, for the same
reason.
Secretary of Agriculture Meredith
believes that the development of
the forest and hydro-electric re
sources of Alaska is a practical
means of increasing the supplies of
newsprint available for the United
States, and therefore eventually les
sening the paper shortage, now so
acute.
Western hemlock and spruce are
the standard mechanical and sul
phite pulpwoods for the United
States mills in the Pacific North
west, the hemlock bhing consumed
in greater amounts than any other
single species. Hemlock forms 60
pe:- cent of the merchantable stand
of timber on the Tongass National
Forest, Alaska.
Aside from newsprint papen, only
a few grades of building and mill
wrapping paper are made at the
British Columbia pulp plants, but
hemlock-spruce sulphite fiber is
shi pped to outside mills for the
production of bond, manila, tissue,
pure fiber, printings, and other high
grade papers requiring a strong,
tough, white fiber; this same sys
tem could probably be followed
with pulp plants located in Alaska.
The Alaska Endicott Mining and
Milling Company has resumed op
erations at William Henry Bay
where a water power is being de
veloped for a sawmill preparatory
to the erection of a stamp mill.
The Columbia Red Metal Com
pany has resumed operations at
Columbia Glacier near Valdez and
is employing fifty men. A railroad
carries ore from the mine to where
it is loaded on steamers for ship
ment to an outside smelter.
The Valdez Gold Mining Com
pany has resumed operations and
is assembling supplies and equip
ment necessary for driving a new
tunnel.
The Hyder Water Light & Power
Co, will be ready to receive applica
tions for watef) in the near future.
