The Largest Lumber Mills.
It has been generally supposed that the largest lumber mills in the world were located on Puget sound in this country, but *- such is not the fact, acoording to one authority, who tells that the largest mill Is in Christiania, where fully 1,000,000 feet are produced daily. There are about 80 gang saws and six planing and matching machines, the latter of the massive Norwegian design which feed at the rate of 80 to 100 feet per minute.
