To this amount of manufactured lumber may be added about 

 two hundred and fifty thousand tons of square timber ; this is 

 not far from the annual amount manufactured in this province. 

 Four dollars per ton is about a medium price ; this gives a prod- 

 uct of $1,000,000. To this we may add, as the product of 

 masts, staves, shingles, per annum, $20,000.* 



Grand total of the lumbering produce in dollars, reckoning four 

 dollars to the pound : 



Long lumber $1,041,840 



Square timber 1,000,000 ^ 



Other lumber as above 20,000 



$2,001,840. 



* Havnig no data upon which to form an estimate of the amount of theso 

 products, wo sinij'ly give tliis result as problematical. It probably falls 

 short very far of the Iruo annual value.
