VALUE OF THE FORESTS. 



As regards the revenue to be derived by the provincial government under the form 

 of stumpage duties, it is easy to ascertain this value, by simply multiplying the quan- 

 tity of each kind of timber by the tariff rate, which gives the following result: 



White pine, 30,725,000 M. at $1.30 $ 39,942,500 



Eed pine, 7,500,000 M. at 80c 6,000,000 



Spruce, 107,000,000 M. at 65c 69,550,000 



Banksian pine, 100,000,000 M. at 65c 6,500,000 



Hemlock, 200,000 M. at 65c 130,000 



Hard woods, 1,110,000 M. at $1.30 1,443,000 



White birch, 10,175,000 M. at 65c 6,598,750 



Poplar, 10,265,000 M. at 65c . . . 6,672,250 



Pulp wood, 745,493,077 cords at 40c 298,197,230 



Kailroad ties, 730,000,000 pieces at 2c 14,600,000 



Poles, 17,500,000 pieces at 5c 875,000 



Shingle blocks, 700,000 M. at 65c 455,000 



Square cedar, 30,000,000 cub. ft. at 2c 600,000 



$451,563,731 



From this, deduct one-fifteenth part, for the timber growing hi seigniories and 

 on other lands held by private parties, whose timber is not subject to government 

 stumpage, and there is left $421,459,482, representing for one hundred years ~an annual 

 revenue of $4,214,594. 



We have seen that the forest area of the province covers 327,721 square miles. 

 Of those forests, about 84,000 miles are held in freehold by private parties and under 

 license for the cut of timber, which leaves upwards of 243,000 miles available and to
