The Oteramika Gorge Sawmill

The Oteramika Gorge Sawmill (the New Zealand Pine Company, proprietors). Gorge Road. This sawmill, which was established in 1902, and is recognised to be the largest in Southland, is an iron structure, fitted on the most modern lines. It contains two twenty-five horse-power boilers, driving two stationary engines of forty horse-power. The most modern saws, planing and moulding machinery are in use at the mill, and 10,000 feet of timber can be turned out each day. The tramway already extends two miles into the bush, where a splendid block of timber, containing probably a twenty years' supply, is available.
