Hawley, the well-known Clevel and capitalist and his somewhat mysterious moves while here. Mr. Hawley refused to state what had brought him up to Marquette in midwinter, but it is now announced that "T. H. McGraw and Co., have sold their white pine on Dead River, purchased from T. H. Thurber, to R. H. Hawley and Co., of Clevel and . It will take eight years to harvest the crop at the rate of 20,000,000 feet per year. Hawley and Co., will take it at a straight price. The logs will be towed to Clevel and . In the coming spring McGraw and Co., will build a logging railroad to connect their lumbering operations with the South Shore. It will be four miles in length." This means that the McGraws will begin lumbering operations on the Dead River tract on an extensive scale this spring, an announcement which means much to Marquette. T. H. McGraw and Co. R. H.
