The United States Forester in 1919 estimated the 

 value of the pines, firs and cedar in the foregoing- to 

 be worth $7,001,190,000 at the mills at $30 per M. 

 Adding to this the redwood, the total valuation would 

 be about $10,000,000.00. It is also estimated that 

 California has trees enough to last a hundred years 

 without reforestation at the rate of cutting her 

 375 sawmills have recently adopted. The policy of 

 protection, economy and reforestation, however, prom- 

 ises to render California's timber supply perpetual.
