PAPER PULP.
A TASMANIAN EXPERIMENT. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Sydney, December 20. Mr. KniVbs, director of the Commonwealth Institute of Science and Industry, commenting on the successful tests /of Tasmanian timbers for the manufacture of paper pulp, said the Tasmanian Government’s experiments had twice previously failed, but the Institute’s results with Victorian timbers at the Geelong mills had induced Tasmania again to try under a modified chemical process, with the result that pulp which was previously considered fit only for brown wrapping paper was now proved after the admixture of foreign pulp to be suitable for the manufacture of highorade naper of excellent quality. ’ Mr. Knibbs added that the cost of production was less than the cost of pulp from abroad. He was confident that the necessary capital and enterprise would be forthcoming to establish and develop the industry .
