Total, 92,523,160 25,969,200 276 863 



The total amount of lumber sawed, as near as we are able to aaoer- 

 tain, is 92,523,160 ft., and by adding 1,000 ft. for every 2,000 lath, it 

 will amount in all to 105,507,770 ft. But many of the mills manu- 

 factured lath, besides those above reported or estimated; and by adding 

 all in, the whole amount would swell to over one hundred and five mU- 

 lion feet, which, at the average valu« of $10 per thousand, would 

 amount to over one million of dollars, as the total annual product of 

 pine lumber in this valley. But there are also vast quantities of shin- 

 o-les manufactured, which are not included in this estimate. 



The disproportion between the number of hands employed and Uie 

 products of the mills, may be accounted for in part from the fact that 

 some of them were running a much longer time than others. 



The following statements from the proprietors or superintendento of 

 several of the mills, have been furnished us :
