"Whiting Brothers lnstqll Modern ::trloore Kilns ot Koibqb, Operotion

i[11,;r, The Kaibab Lumber Company, located in northern Ari;;i,, tzona near the edge of the Grand Canyon and the nation,s

,;ri, larsest stand of virgin Ponderosa Pine, in the Kaibab Na1,, , tional Forest, has recently installed two hew, Moore Crossil,' pirculation Kilns for a well-rounded operation.

IThe sawmill was first built in 1945 and was later followed by a sawmill expansion in 1950, when the Forest :Service put up a large block of timber. Planing mill facil,ities were installed in 1953 and now, in 1955, the dry kiln units have been placed in operation at the mill which was featured in a recent issue (see Pages 14-15, CLM, g/l/SS).

The two new Moore kilns are single track units 66, long, of the double-end type for ease of loading and unloading, and are of the latest Moore design as shown above.

Steam for the new kilns is furnished from a low-pressure, automatic, oil-fired boiler which was placed in operation by the Tamco Engineers of San Francisco, Calif. All of the electrical power is generated by the Kaibab Lumber Company's own Diesel generators for the complete operation at Fredonia.

Although located approximately 115 miles from the nearest railroad, the majority of the lumber is transported over the highways by a fleet of Diesel-powered trucks, making direct delivery to the company's customers in Oregon,
