Excerpt from Pulp and News-Paper Manufacture The subject of this paper is the power consumption in the manufacture of news-paper, and in the production of the fibre for the making of the paper. That is, the ground-wood and sulphite process. The fibre used in the making of news-paper is produced entirely from wood. The wood used is principally spruce, hemlock and balsam. The other coniferous woods are used' in smaller quantities. News-paper is usually manufactured from 75% mechanical pulp (ground-wood) and 25% chemical pulp (sulphite pulp). Under ordinary conditions one cord of wood is required to make one ton of ground-wood, and two cords of wood are required to make one ton of sulphite pulp: hence for the production of news-paper one and a quarter cords of wood are used for every ton of news-paper made.
