SHASTA VIEW LUMBER COMPANY
Klamath Falls
February 15, 1925: "George McCollum, large stockholder in the Shasta View Lumber company, disposed of his stock in the concern today to Marion Nine, Preston Nine and Wilbur Nine, his former business partners. The Shasta View Lumber company representing an investment of over $150,000, according to a recent appraisal by the Sessions Engineering company of Chicago and Portland, is now exclusively owned by the three Nine brothers.
Mr. McCollum disposed of his interest in the company in order to devote his entire time to his mill on the Klamath river, 18 miles west of this city. It is understood that an option was held by certain parties on McCollum's mill but that it was allowed to expire without being exercised. Mr. McCollum felt that he should devote his entire time to his mill on the Klamath river. Had the option been exercised, he would have held his stock in the Shasta View Lumber company and taken an active participation in the concern, it was said.
The Nine brothers are the owners of the Shasta View Lumber company and the Nine Lumber company. The Shasta View Lumber company represents a new band saw and resaw saw mill south of town which will start operation April 1 with a crew of about 125 men.
The mill will have a capacity of 80,000 feet daily and is equipped with modern machinery. The Nine Lumber company have been logging throughout the winter. They have been cutting trees in the Squaw Flat unit for Shaw-Bertram Lumber company and have been operating in the Swan lake district." (The Evening Herald)

September 30, 1925: "After a series of drilling misadventures that would have discouraged the heart of a wildcat oil driller from the wilds of Texas, a good flow of water has finally been secured at the Shasta View Lumber company mill here.
Despite the fact that the well site is only a short distance from Lake Ewauna, it was found necessary to drill to a depth of 784 feet to get a satisfactory flow.
A flow found at a shallower depth failed soon after it was struck. Enough shale oil was found in the formation to bring joy to the heart of any oil promoter, had there been any stock to sell." (The Evening Herald)
