<span>DUCEY<span><span> &<span><span> BACKUS<span><span> are getting in a stock <span>of about 15,000,000 feet of logs<span> at<span> their mill<span> at<span> [[Brandon|Brandon]] ([[Paul%20Smith's%20Station|Paul Smith's Station]]), <span>and four-fifths of the whole is pine! Their <span>mill<span> is<span> probably the best ever erected<span> in <span>the<span> State,<span> and one of the best lumbermen <span>that ever<span> lived—JOHN<span> BACKUS—is<span> its manager. The snow in the woods<span> in<span> that<span> vicinity, even<span> at<span> this season, is four feet <span>deep.
