Bay Mills Branch

The South Shore is now building a spur from the station
of Bay Millis on its Soo division to Hall & Buell's mills on
Waiskai Bay. The branch is two and a half miles long but
it is remarkeble for having 7,500 feet of trestle work on
it all in one trestle too. The earthwork is about finished
and the trestle is being pushed along as fast as possible as
there is a big cut of logs near Seney which is to be
delivered at the mill by rail this winter. The trestle is not
such a formidable affais as its length would indicate, the water
being very shallow. The brach strikes Waiskai Bay directly
across from the mille and instead of following the deeply
indented shore line across from the mills, which would
necessitates @ very much longer piece of track and some it
it most expensive, cuts directly across. The logs will be
run out on the trestle end then dumped off into the bay on
the inshore side. Besides Hall & Buell's big lumber mills
the place has & new industry about ready for a start in the
shape of Hall & Munson's box factory, which will employ
over 50 men.
