Frank Johnson 16 years old. The Staples Lumber Company of Wycliffe B.C. was foremost among the sawmills of the East Kootenays between 1887 and 1927. The sawmill was built on the banks of the St Marys River at Wycliffe. "It was one of the largest railway logging operations in this area. With headquarters in Wycliffe, the Otis Staples Lumber Company ran spurs over much of the territory on both sides of the Kootenay River." (filesfortsteele.ca/history)
