The Steiger camps universally made fine progress all through the season, and in all put in about twelve million feet of timber." (Weekly Klamath Record)

November 27, 1923: "The logging camp of J.J. Steiger, Sr., was closed for this season last Tuesday, Nov. 20. During the year the company has cut about 8,500,000 feet of timber which has been shipped to the Big Lakes box factory at Klamath Falls.
Steiger has used several 75-h.p. caterpillars in his logging operations. The logs were hauled by trucks to Chiloquin, three miles distant, and unloaded in the Williamson River on the west side, floated down stream a few hundred yards, and loaded on cars at the Steiger spur on the east bank of the river.
About 50 men have been employed in loading, hauling, and logging operations. Ten of this number were engaged by Jack Autin in filling his contract of transporting the logs to the river. Three trucks were used for this purpose.
J.J. Steiger, Jr., says they have left about 700,000 feet of shop which they have begun moving from their former mill site to the Chiloquin spur ready for shipment, during the winter. Wymer Bros. of Fort Klamath have the contract for the hauling of the lumber." (The Klamath News)
