We learn that Mr P. Bartholomew, the well-known tawmiller of Levin, is about putting up a new plant on his land at the southern end of the township. The principal feature of the plant will be a band saw for breaking down and ripping of the kind now used in America, and capable of turning out from 10,000 to 60,000 feet of timber per day. The sawmill will be the first of tho kind in Mew Zealand — and perhaps in the Southern Hemisphere —and its erection will be awaited with the greatest interest by all interested in the sawmilling trade. Tho new plant will cost Mr Bartholomew a considerable sum, and. with his many friends, we hope thnt his spirited enterprise will meet with a handsome return. The fan has arrived in Wellington, but it will be at least two months before the new mill is in working order. — Manawatu Times.
