JoAlene Park works the twin bandsaw at Stoltz Lumber Co. an hour south of Eureka. The mill is the last family-owned mill in northwest Montana, and many believe it will be the next to close. The mill takes 25 percent of its timber from its private land, and is not as dependant upon goverment sales as the Eureka mill. “We’ve structured our business so that we are not hit as hard by lawsuits. Times are still tough for us though,” mill owner Ronald Buntmeir said.
