Lumbering Starts On 5500 Acre Virgin Timber Tract
J L Rowles of Sophia has begun timbering on 5500 acre virgin tract at Laurel creek mouth. The Buery heirs sold the land once tied to C and O Railroad development since the 1870s. A haulage road and mill site are being prepared with a 65 horsepower circle mill and two shifts. The first set will be one mile above Stretcherneck tunnel as work progresses.
