TIMBER. 



The timber in the district examined is in sufficient quantities for all econom- 

 ical purposes, except for building houses, unless it be in the extreme western 

 part of the country. The different kinds are post oak, pecan, hackberry, 

 cottonwood, elm, water oak, shin oak, cedar, live oak, mesquite, and white 

 china. The most important is the cedar, which is to be had in almost unlim- 

 ited quantities along the Colorado and San Saba Rivers, as well as on Cher- 

 okee and other creeks. The post oak is found almost everywhere in that part 

 of the country occupied by the Carboniferous sandstone as far west as Camp 

 Creek, in Coleman County. Along all the creeks and rivers there is plenty 

 of timber for firewood. The mesquite is- of almost universal growth. The 

 larger mesquite trees make excellent fence posts, and there is no better wood
