A. C. SHAW LUMBER COMPANY
January 3, 1900: "E. C. Bloomer, the representative here of the A. C. Shaw Lumber company. of Tacoma, closed the deal a day or two since for twenty-four acres of the Tietjen tract, three-quarters of a mile out on the Bonanza road, to be used as a saw mill site.
The machinery for this mill arrived early in December, since when Mr. Bloomer has been looking for a suitable place to erect the mill. He is an experienced saw mill man, knows the requirements and understands the importance of an advantageous location and convenient surroundings. He has, therefore, bided his time until he could get what he wanted, which he says he has now secured. MINER readers will remember that he found soon after his arrival here two tracts of timber land near town that suited him in every particular, except that there is every indication that the land contains minerals, and he declined to purchase a probable contest.
The work of erecting the buildings and installing the machinery begins immediately, and the mill will be in operation: just when Mr. Bloomer doesn't care to state. The mill will have a capacity of 30,000 feet daily.
The right-of-way up the gulch for a side track ahs already been secured by the Sumpter Valley railroad." (Sumpter Miner)
