NEW ZEALAND TIMBER INDUSTRY.

Auckland Timber Company.

Tiik timber trade of this colony has as sumed great proportions, owing to the 'de mand which has sot in for kauri timber, It is estimated that since this industry was first fairly started, upwards of 795,000,000 feet of kauri has been cut. Among the com panies engaged in the work of utilising this wood, the Auckland Timber Company occu pies a leading position, having during last summer employed a grand total of 1,000 men in connection with bush work, and at their mills and manufactories. The Com pany possess a number of sawmills in various parts of the North Island, the largest being at Auckland, where the Com pany carry on an enormous business in sell ing timber and in the manufacture of doors, sashes, mouldings, joiners' and cabinet makers' work of every description. The Auckland Mill is very advantageously situated, being in clo.se proximity tj the Wharf and to the main street of the town. It has about "iOO feet of frontage to Custom- House-street, and has a similar frontage to the harbour. The buildings have an impos ing appearance, being well designed, and covering upwards of an acre and a quarter of land. The offices and warehouses are four-story brick buildings, and are on the opposite^side of the street to the mill, but are connected by an admirably designed suspension bridge, so constructed as to en able the heaviest loads to be conveyed across.

The mill buildings are two-story, with a cellar extending underneath the building, and contributing a third or basement story. The foundations are of groat solidity, up wards of eight thousand tons of stono having been used in the work. The whole of the supports or pillars extending along the front of tho building are of enormous size and strength, and all rest on stone founda tions, the latter being carried down to solid rock. While alluding to the foundations, it may be mentioned that all the engines and machines rest on similar stone base ments. A considerable quantity oftotara piles were used in laying down the sub stantial floors of thie great structure. The roof is built in seven spans of trussed fram ing in sections of 40 feet, each covered with corrugated iron. The building altogether is of the utmost Btrength, all well trussed and braced. An enormous quantity of timber was employed in the construction of these premises, and it is quite within the mark to say that a small kauri fore6t has been used up in the work. Tho Interior presents one of tho busiest scenes it is possible to witness, with engines and machinery going at full speed. The visitor, half bewildered with the noise and rattle* of work, could almost fancy himself inside an English railway station as he views tho extensive lines of tramway-rails, orer which loaded cars Incessantly rush along between huge stacks of timber reared up 60 high ilh to form species of streets. There is no loitering observable, everybody moving about frith the greatest speed. Every man and every machine ore kept going at high pressure throughout the day, and strangers who venture into the precincts of the tramway system have to keep their " weather eye " open lest they collide with somo of the truck-loads of material which dart along apparently from all points of the compass. The wharf may be described as 500 feet by 40 feet wide. It is no uncommon thing to soc a dozen vessels at once lying alongside, cither taking in cargo or discharging sawn timber from the country mills. Cargoes of baulk timber, or rafts of logs towed by the Company's steamer The Terror, are depos ited in the booma situated six or seven hundred yards distant. MOTIVE POWER. In going over the mill, we notice the Com pany nave on the premises seven engines, tho largest of which is a high-pressure engine, 2.20 in. cylinders, 4Oin. stroke, working at 70 revolutions, driving a break ing-down saw, four deal frames, two band sawn, nine planing machines, two cross cuts, two circular-saw benches, with various other machines, together with nearly the wholo of the machinery in the manufac turing department on the upper floor, There is also a 20-horse power engine driving the largo travelling-circular bench, which is capable of cutting 45 feet lengths ; also ono pair of compound engines 100 horse-power, driving one breaking-down, throe circulars, two deal frames, band saw, etc. Another engine is employed driving the machinery in the engineer's shop, consisting of lathes, shaping, drilling, and other necessary machinery. The Company are enabled to do all their own fitting and ropniring on the premises. There is a 20-horse power engine in the basement story, which drives the machinery of tho box department, spoke lathes, paling, and other machines ;it also drives 15 lathes in tho turnery department. A 6-horse jxiwer engine is employed in the stores en the opposite side of the street. Goods ready for market are passed from the factory over tho suspension bridge, and lowered or lifted I with ease to any part of the warehouse. GENERAL REMARKS. Tho logs brought to the mill ore first! hauled up the incline out of the water by ■ an endless chain to the breaking-down saw ; j then cut up Into suitable sizes for the circular-saw travelling bench. About 200,000 feet can bo cut up weekly. The timber required in the manufacturing department is sent up by means of an elevator. It then passes on to the cross-cut saws, and is cut into required sizes for the manufacture of sashes and doors, and for other uses. The .•ash and door department occupies a large portion of the upper floor of the mill. The mnchinory in use is of the most modern de scription, and is in flrst-class order. To givo some idea of tho number of doors turned out in this establishment, it may be stated that at the time of our vialt there wero 7,000 stacked in the drying room. A similar number of sashes are kept in stock. CARVING WORK. The Company turn out earring work of any design. The different parts of cabinet work can be produced at little over the cost of ita material, from carved or plain legs for tables, etc., to exquisitely-designed brackets. A pair of the latter just finished to the order of W. Swanson, Esq., M.H.R., show ex cellent workmanship, the carving of the fruit and birds being very skilfully per formed. We noticed a machine dove-tail ing drawers almost as fast as the piece could be put in and taken out. The box and case department is kept very busy. A largo export trade is done to the Australian colonies. Among the various machines noticeable hero is the picket machino, which turns out 800 per hour, makingvery attractive material for fencing ; a spoke-making machine—3o per hour— turning out iron-bark apokes for wheel-, wrights—works which are very acceptable to the trade. Tho small ends of timber are horo utilised, and converted into paving blocks, surveyors' pegs, etc. It should be mentioned that a considerable portion of tho building has been fitted up with dry ing-racks for seasoning material before it is put together. This has completely over como the difficulty of shrinking, and gives additional guarantee of the superior charac ter of goods turned out at this mill. Every precaution is taken to guard against fire, two watchmen being employed. There is also an ingenious arrangement by which the ontiro building can in a few minutes be filled with steam, the wholo of the four large boilers being always kept with a full head of steam ready for immediate use. Ono of tho most lucrative parts of the Company's business is the trade done in supplying sawn and dressed timber for building and other purposes. The usual output averages over a quarter of a million feet weekly. This most important depart ment is under tho able supervision of Mr Robert Bartley. Having very briefly glancod at the town mill, we will now refer to the valuable properties owned by tho Company Outside Auckland. WHANGAROA MILL. At Whangaroa thero is a double sawmill, capable of cutting 100,000 per week. It is now in operation, with a good supply of logs at the booms and in the creeks, while in the adjacent forests is a supply of timber for the next fifteen or twenty years. This is a beautiful harbour, easy of access, and with deep water for the largest vessels. A large quantity of huge baulk timber has been shipped to Southern and Australian ports. Many million feet of timber have oeen sent away fr6m this port during the last few years:. MONGONUI MILL. At Mongonui, the Company have erected a fine doublo mill with ample wharf accommodation. A large sea wall was built in front, 300 feet long, carried out to low water at spring tides. The substantial wharf was erected outside this, giving ample ; depth of water for shipping. The mill has ' a very pretty appearance viewed from the harbour. Ojrerations are in full swing, about 100,000 feet being the weokly output. It may bo mentioned that the timber obtained here is remarkable for its superior character, tho kauri appearing to be of a better quality further North. The Mon gonui district; will benefit greatly by the establishment of this mill. Among other advantages will be the immediate rise in

the value of property, and an .increased amount of spirit infused into the people Large tracts of fertile land in the district will shortly be under cultivation. An addi tional impetus since the mill started is the running of a regular steamer by tho Aorth«m Company, carrying passengers and cargo, and connecting with tho weekly steamer to Auckland, and still further stimulating the settlement of the country The Auckland Timber Company employ their own steamer for towing purposes• thus there are two steamers plying in tho port. The quantity of timber cut by the above mills necessitates a large supply o f logs being kept in the creeks, which at present amounts to 25 million feet, about half of which is available without further freshes. KENNEDY BAY. Tho Company have a single mill, at Kennedy Bay in brisk operation, cutting about 40,000 per week, with ample supply of logs at the mill for the next twelve months, and large quantities in the creeks. Considerable difficulty was formerly ex perienced in getting timber across the level land from the forest. The Company have recently constructed a tram\Wfy j;with iron rails extending over the flats a distance of a mile and a-lialf, worked by a locomotive and there is no longer nny difficulty ex perienced in getting the logs to the mill. Many years ago, when prospectors for gold first tackled these ranges, rich prospects were traced up from Kennedy Bay, leading ultimately to the discovery of the eelel- brated reef of the Tokatca mine, which afterwards produced £132,000 worth of gold. WAIAKA. The Company are also working another bush at Waiara, where they have a mile or two of tramway with locomotives in con stant use, and working satisfactorily. Loga from here are shipped direct to the town mill and placed in the booms at the latter place until required for use. PORT CHARLES. The Company have another mill at Port Charles, cutting about 30,000 per week, la addition to the sawn timber shipped from here from Auckland, a large quantity U shipped to the town mill. The Company have, in addition to Ken« nedy Bay, Port Charles, and Waiara, several other valuable properties on th« Coromandel Peninsula, ensuring many years1 constant supply. They also own a krgq kauri forest on the Great Barrier Island, which will not be required for a long period to come, owing to the great extent ol available forest already opened np in othff localities, SYDNEY. The Company own a magniflcant property in Sydney, purchased some three years agp by the Managing Director, Mr George Holdship, comprising between 4 and 5 acre*, almost in the heart of the city, with water frontage of 500 feet, and two street front ages. On this property they have erected a temporary mill. Their wharf is a iub stantial structure, 350 feet in length and 43 feet wide, which can, in the future, b# utilised for mill or factory purposes by simply building a roof to it. Here veeseli load, and discharge cargo of kauri, whioh timber is becoming more in request, its value evidently becoming more appreciated, and its good qualities recognised by the trade. Sydney and Auckland are -al ready bound together by . commer cial ties, but not to the extent wo could wish. Sydney would benefit by the expansion of the kauri timber trade, as re turn cargoes of merchandise would, in most cases, be brought back to Auckland, each place benefitting to a corresponding extent by the interchange of commodities. The Auckland Timber Company has contributed in a great measure to remove the prejudice which at one time so 6trongly existed against kauri in the Aus tralian colonies, and many citizens on the other side exhibit with prida beautiful specimens of New Zealand woods, manufactured into elegant joinery and other work by this Company. It is but fair to add in conclusion that tho success ful extension of the Company's business, and its promising future, are due to the judicious management of Mr Holdship.
