down Eastern rivers in the spring. Those mills which manufacture 

 lumber cut on the coast are, for the most part, situated at the mouth 

 of the small streams, and load their lumber directly into the vessels 

 transporting it to its final destination. In the mountains the mills 

 are, in many instances, situated in the forest where the lumber is 

 cut, and the sawed lumber is conveyed to the valleys by means of 

 immense flumes, built at great cost. In Washington Territory still 

 another method of getting and moving lumber is in vogue. The 

 trees grow so near to the waters of Puget Sound that the logs are 

 rolled into the sea, and there formed in rafts, after which they are 

 towed to some mill, where they are manufactured. 



CALIFORNIA REDWOOD SAW MILLS. 



The mills that cut redwood lumber extensively are located along 

 the coast, in the neighborhood of the redwood forests. The follow- 

 ing is a list of the redwood mills represented in this city, their situa- 

 tion, and yearly capacity in feet:

These redwood mills have, therefore, the capacity for manufactur- 

 ing two hundred and twenty million five hundred thousand feet of 

 lumber each year, and other mills, not represented here, will undoubt- 

 edly carry the figures much higher. The mills in Mendocino, 

 Humboldt, and Sonoma Counties are run by steam power almost 

 exclusively, only five being supplied with water power.
