which utilize salvmill waste products such as sawdust and trim for fuel. This electric power is transmitted all over northern Arizona by utility companies, providing a new, hitherto untapped supply of electric power at a time when the demand for power is at an all-time high.
First Arizona sawmill to explore the possibilities of utilization of sarvdust and other "waste" products to manufacture electric power in commercial quantities was Southwest Lumber Mills, Inc., that operates the big sawmills at McNary, Flagstaff and Overgaard, producing about half ol Ari.zona's lumber.
The Southrvest company, headed by James G. McNary, engaged engineers to design a big new power plant at Flagstaff, one which would provide much more than the company's own requirements of electricity. The generation of electric power from sar,vdust requires especially constru.cted Turnaces and other equipment, costing several hundred thousand dollars.
The new Southrvest power plant at Flagstaff tvas placed in operation early in the year, and its operation was a complete success from the start. The other big Flagstaff sawmill, operated by the Saginarv & Manistee, is norv nearing the end of a construction program rvhich rvill soon place another big generating plant in operation here. It also utilizes the "waste" products for fuel, waste which formerly was destroyed in huge burners as a nuisance.

Electric energy produced at the big porver plants is distributed through local utility systems.
Southwest now has under construction a r,r,aste-utilizing power plant at McNary, a plant so large that it will be able to produce electricity to supply the entire northeastern part of the state and a portion of western New Mexico as well. The Navopache Electric Co-Operative, fnc., is constructing a vast network of transmission lines to distribute the power all through the area.
The power plant at Flagstaff built by Southwest Mills produces enough excess electric power to supply all the requirements of a city of 15,000 population. The new plant now being buit at McNary is more than twice as large.
