LUMBER PRODUCTS OF EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-SIX. 



The last report of the Surveyor-General gives the following figures 

 for eighteen hundred and seventy-five and eighteen hundred and 

 seventy-six: Adding to the figures for the year eighteen hundred 

 and seventy-five, the production of the counties that were evidently 

 omitted, estimating that production at thirty million feet, we have a 

 total of three hundred and eighty-six million forty-five thousand 

 three hundred and eighty-eight feet, which, compared with the pro- 

 duction of the following year, shows again of over one hundred mil- 

 lion feet for the year eighteen hundred and seventy-six. Of the mills 

 running, one hundred and six are run by water power, the others by 

 steam :

LUMBERING IN THE SIERRAS. 



Lumbering among the Sierras is conducted in a novel way. As 

 before stated, mills are built in the midst of the forest, and even in 

 situations whence it would be almost impossible to transport logs to 

 convenient places for sawing. But a safe, rapid, and cheap means of 

 transportation was found in the Y-shaped flumes that have been
