Dolbeer & Carson Mill to Start Translercedto Los Angeles Office This Month

After having been shut down for some time the sawmill of the Dolbeer & Carson Lumber Company at Eureka will start up about September 25 and will operate on a 4O-hour weekly basis. The starting of this operation will afiect more than 300 men in the mill and logging camp.

The resumption of operations by this company marks the completion of the rebuilding by them of the Bucksport and Elk Railway. This road rebuilt at large expense, taps a solid body of the finest Redwood timber which will serve the mill for the next 50 years. Most of the trestles have been rebuilt with Redwood. The railroad is of standard guage, and the equipment is all of the most modern type. Geared locomotives are used for the steep grades.

A feature of the rebuilding work, which has occupied two years, is that it has provided work for many of the men who would otherwise have been unemployed by the shutting down of the sawmill.
