A platoon from a regiment or a pontoon company would operate sawmills. The sawmills made three foot long firewood for Welling or Sibley stoves. More importantly the sawmills turned logs into boards and planks for barges and bridges.
A sawmill for the 93rd was located at Tagish and Teslin Rivers. The pontoon company built a dock, bridge and ferry to transport men and equipment over these large rivers.
