SAWMILLING INDUSTRY.
AT KOMATA REEFS. FINE TIMBER SUPPLY. Supplies of timber for the Paeroi Cash Sawmills (Mriß. Phillips) are probably assured for .the next eight years. The local place for the reception of orders is in Station Road, Paeroa, but the mill itself is at Komata. Reefs about half way up the valley. At present owing to the shortage of bushmen, the mill is not working up to its total capacity, but Mr Phillips hope?, to be in full swing very shortly. Lately, the average has been 3000 feet per day, but the mill is capable of 8000. The timber is mainly rima, with quantities of kahikatea, totara, honeysuckle—in -short, it is a mixture of flrst-elass milling timber. ■When complete, the mill will have threa vertical saws, besides a breast bench’. Eight men are employed in the mill and six in the bush, but some of the mill hands are at present engaged in the bush preparing a log chute, on the completion of which a full and regular supply of logs, it is anticipated. will be available.
