T. H. McGraw & Co.
Not long since the Mining Journal noted the presence in the city of R. K. Hawley, the well-known Cleveland capitalist, and his some what mysterious moves while here. Mr. Hawley refused to state what had brought him up to Marquette in mid-winter, but it is now announced that the T. H. McGraw & Co., have sold their while pine on Dead River, purchased from H. c. Thurber, to R. K. Hawley & Co., Cleveland. It will take eight years to harvest the crop at the rate of 20,000,000 feet a year. Hawley & Co., will take it at a straight price. The logs will be towed to Cleveland. In the coming spring McGraw & Co., will build a logging railroad to connect their lumbering operations with the DSS&A. It will be four miles long.
This means that the McGraw & Co., will begin lumbering on an extensive scale this spring, an announcement which means much to Marquette.
