General forest conditions of tlii' rej;ion ; This rcKion in IS7(! extended over 20,000 acres. The lumber operation 

 carried on for twenty years by Mr. Du liois left for the iiresent only from 1,500 to 2,000 acres standing timber in a 

 I>rinie\al condition.

(1) Hemlock ;in(l White Fine forest, with an admixture of mature hardwoods aiul .i number of yonnj; liard- 

 woods and young lii'iiilock, ■\vhtcli torm tiic undergrowtii. 



(2) Hemlock iiiixccl witli Wliiti^ I'inc, with scatteiiuj; hardwoods; the undergrowth usually moderately dense, 

 consists niainly of young Hendock with the admixture of \ outig hardwoods. 



('A) Hardwoods inleriuixcd with White I'ine and scattering Hemlock. The undergrowth here consists maiaij' 

 of young hardwoods. 



Among tlie hardwooils, the Oak, Birch, and Maple form the staple of the haidwood forest, while the Beech, 

 Chestnut, llickory. Cucumber, .Vsh, Cheiry, ami Fasswood arc comparatively fen in number. The region has a 

 uniform soil and subsoil as it may be. judged by the sanijde areas NN. 5, 6, and 7, and is well provided with moisinru 

 by the many streams crossing it all over in dilicreut directions.
