white and yellow pine are west of the Cascades 

 and in the Okanogan highlands. Red fir, bull 

 pine, yellow pine and tamarack grow on the 

 eastern slopes of the Cascades, but are inferior 

 to the timber of Western Washington. There 

 are large forest reserves in the national parks, 

 and at the present rate of consumption it is 

 estimated that the state timber will supply the 

 local mills for about 100 years. 



The lumber industry has developed in Wash- 

 ington since 1880; in 1900 the state ranked 



Washington ranks fourth among the states, the 

 products of Massachusetts, Virginia and New 

 York being of greater value. 



Minerals. Washington has the only large 

 coal deposits in the Pacific states, and it fur- 

 nishes a large part of the supply of the v. 

 coast. The coal fields occupy extensive areas in 

 the Puget Sound basin, and have an estimated 

 available supply of over sixty billion tons. Al- 

 though the annual production still averages 

 over 3,000,000 tons, the increasing output of

Fisheries. The salmon fisheries of Puget 

 Sound, the Columbia Kiver, Gray's Harbor and 

 Willapa Bay constitute one of the leading in- 

 dustries of the state. Producing annually more 

 than 54,000,000 pounds of salmon, Washington 

 furnishes five-ninths of the total output of tin- 

 United States, excluding Alaska, and ov. r 

 aa much as Oregon, which ranks second. State 



heries have been established and have in- 

 creased the supply. Halibut, cod, mackerel 

 and herring are also caught in the coast waters ; 

 clams, crabs and shrimp are abundant, and 



are extensive oyster beds in Puget Sound 

 and in Willapa Bay. Large quantities of game 

 li-h are caught in the fresh-water lakes and 

 streams. In the value of all fisheries' products, 



petroleum in California has caused a decrease 

 in the production of coal in Washington 1>\ 

 lessening the demand for coal as fin I 



Gold and silver are mined in the counties on 

 both sides of the Cascades and in the Okano- 

 gan highlands. There are deposits of iron in 

 tin Puget Sound basin, and copper and 

 are found in the ores containing the precious 

 metals. Marble, granite, limestone, sandstone, 

 i ilc and asbestos are among the valuable min- 

 eral resources of the state. 



Manufactures. The abundant supply of fuel 

 and the power furnished by the mountain 

 streams of Western Washington have con- 

 tributed to the rapil growth nl" the manufactur- 

 ing industries. The milling of lumber and the 

 manufacture of timber products constitute by 

 far the leading industry. The state manufac-
