Concerning one of the Peninsular Lbr. Co.'s camps on the
DSS&A Ry., Six miles west of S. S. Marie, the Sault
Democrat says: "This camp is a peculair one, inasmuch as
it is a model of neatness and discipline. S. B. Wright is
superintendent at Newberry and L. J. Buffum, clerk at the
camp. The railroad divides the section where the lumbering
is carried on so that the operations are carried on both
sides of the track. There are 84 men employed here and ten
teams. All through the camp the best feeling prevails and
the boys have lots of fun, but are splendidly disciplined,
at meals there is no noise but the best of decorum. The
camp commenced September 8, and there are 15,000 pieces
on skids, which represents 2,225,000 feet. These are
carried to Dollarville where they are manufactured. The
camps are built on the east branch of the Pine river.”
