The U. 3. Forest Service is advertising for sale a bod; 

 of timber .estimated to cut 15,000,000 feet, located on Grizzly 

 fountain near Zenia in the southwestern part of Trinity County. 

 Forest officers believe that there is at present a market suffici' 

 to justify the installation of a mill at this point As soon as 

 the line of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad to Eureka is com- 

 leted, which will probably be within the next year, the timber 

 -ill be easily accessible to outside markets; and it will then be 

 possible, by purchasing additional National Forest stumpage ad- 

 joining, to enlarge the operation. Approximately 160,000,000 

 feet are immediately tributary. 



The 15,000,000 feet now being advertised are estim- 

 ated to cut the following per cents by species: 



Sugar pine ..... 10 per cent

 Douglas fir . ... 54 TT
