TIMBER ESTIMATES. 



As has been previously stated, the Department is making a forest sur- 

 vey of the reserves which should give a close estimate of the timber thereon. 

 Such estimate has been made for the Riding Mountain, Turtle Mountain 

 Moose Mountain and the Pines reserves, and for these the following figures 

 are probably close to the actual quantities on those reserves. For all other 

 reserves the estimates are only tentative :
