Chambers & McIntyre were listed in an 1880 Chicago lumberman directory at Daingerfield. Their mill was located in Precinct 1 of Morris County in the 1880 Census. The circular sawmill was powered by a 24-horsepower steam engine and boiler. Chamber and McIntyre employed nine men at peak production and five normally, paying them $1.00 to $1.50 daily for ten-hour days, winter and summer; the workers received a total wage of $1,000. During twelve months of production, the sawmill, from $2,750 worth of supplies and sawlogs, milled 500,000 feet of lumber worth a value of $5,000.
Logging was done on Beaver's Creek.
The firm was listed again in the Rand, McNally and Company's Directory and Shipping Guide of Lumber Mills and Lumber Dealers for 1884.
