DEFINITE
ARRANGEMENTS
CONCLUDED
Definite
arrangements
have
been
concluded
for
the
building
of
a
Zuu-ton
daily
capacity
bleached
sulphite
mill
at
Prince
Rupert
for
the
manufacture
of
rayon
pulp,
it
was
announced
here
today
by
Frank
L.
Buckley
on
his
arrival
this
morning
on
the
Prince
Rupert
from
Vancouver
after
a
trip
to
New
York
and
Eastern
Canada.
The
total
amount
of
capital
involved
in
the
undertaking,
Mr.
Buckley
states
is
$8,000,000,
the
greater
portion
of
the
capital
being
Canadian
with
New
York,
San
Francisco
and
British
Columbia
capitalists
also
interested.
Work
on
the
project
will
be
started
soon
as
the
engineers
have
completed
surveys
which
they
are
now
undertaking.
Plans
for
the
mill
are
well
advanced
and
it
is
expected
it
will
be
brought
into
production
by
the
end
of
1938.
Contracts'
for
the
entire
output
of
the
mill
have
been
made.
The
mill
will
be
established
either
on
the
dry
dock
site
or
at
Seal
Cove.
The
undertaking
will
result
in
the
employment
in
mill
and
woods
of
some
2500
men.
It
is
proposed
to
use
all
white
labor.
"The
company
has
extensive
timber
holdings
on
the
Queen
Charlotte
Islands
and
the
mainland,"
Mr.
Buckley
states.
"The
reason
for
locating
at
Prince
Rupert
is
that
it
is
an
ideal
situation
on
account
of
the
surrounding
district
being
heavily
wooded
with
spruce,
hemlock
and
balsam
woods
especially
suitable
for
the
manufacture
of
high
grade
bleached
sulphite
pulp.
An
abundance
of
iron-free
water
is
in
close
proximity
to
the
mill.
"Hydro-electric
power
will
be
secured
in
large
quantities
from
the
Northern
British
Columbia
Power
Co.
"The
mill,
being
built
within
the
city
limits
of
Prince
Rupert,
will
eliminate
the
necessity
of
a
housing
program
by
the
company.
This
will
greatly
benefit
the
city
in
view
of
the
large
number
of
men
employed,
the
2500
men
supporting
more
or
less
that
many
families.
Allied
industries
will
follow
this."
LARGEST
PROJECT
SINCE
1920
Mr.
Buckley
states
that
thfe
is
the
largest
project
for
the
development
of
the
natural
resources
of
this
province
that
has
been
accomplished
since
1929.
It
will
.be
the
first
pulp
mill
on
the
American
continent
designed
and
built
from
the
start
for
the
exclusive
manufacture
of
high
grade
bleached
sulphite
(rayon)
pulp.
The
mill
and
plans,
Mr.
Buckley
announces,
are
being
so
laid
out
by
the
engineers
with
a
view
to
doubling
the
capacity
within
the
next
three
years
or
sooner
if
the
market
so
demands.
Mr.
Buckley
has
been
a
prominent
timber
operator
in
British
Columbia
for
a
number
of
years,
having
had
with
the
Imperial
Munitions
Board
during
the
Great
War
the
largest
contract
for
the
delivery
of
airplane
spruce
for
the
British
and
French
governments
awarded
on
this
continent.
He
has
been
interested
in
the
local
pulp
mill
project
for
some
years
and
is
receiving
hearty
congratulations
locally
on
bringing
it
to
a
successful
fruition.
He
expects
to
be
here
for
several
days.

but
a

this

The
message
at

said:

The

said,
however,
that
they
had

asking
which
direction
to
turn.
They
had
been
told
to
turn

It

they
