red line, the elevations are given; on the west the blue line is 

 shoved toward the wilderness, is it not, and is it not true that it

A. Somewhere about forty miles I should think.

Q. But this is marked as heavy forest west of this blue line and that

A. The entire length of the Beaver river would come to my mill. 



Q. This blue color which indicates heavy timber ? 



A. Green color. 



Q. Which is excluded by this line that naturally comes to your mill, 

 does it not? 



A. A small percentage of it does. 



Q. What other mill does it go to and can it go to ? 



A. Well, quite a large percentage of that would go to the Oswe'
