lnteresling New Fredonio Mill

When the U.S. Forest Service decided to promote the removal of timber from the somen'hat inaccessible Kaibob National Forest in Northern Arizona, it developed a program considered likely to interest substantial sat'mill investors. It succeeded. It spent over half a million dollars building a road from the timber to Fredonia, and it stipulated that the mill that would get this timber to cut must be located at Fredonia, this for various good reasons.

The Kaibob Lumber Company rvas the result of a deal made with a highly respected sarvmill concern named Whiting Brothers, of Holbrook, Arizona. They built and have in operation a double band sau'mill that is no'rv cutting about 100,000 feet of Ponderosa Pine timber from the Kaibob National Forest, claily. Under the deal the company is allowed to cut 25 million feet annualiy, and tire supply is expected to be perpetual.

Fredonia is a little desert to'n'n 200 miles from anv railroad.
