Engelmann spruce constitutes the greatest part of the total quan- 

 tity, 1,679 million board feet. It grows in the higher mountains all 

 . over the State at altitudes where rainfall is heavy. 



tity-^Engelmann Accordingly it is often found in dense stands and 



Spruce a Tree grows to large size. The most extensive stands are 



of High Eleva- found in the Uinta Mountains and on the Aquarious

Fig. 8.— Stands of the four main species of timber in Utah, by forests. F.— Douglas fir. P. — West' 

 em yellow pine. L— Lodgepole pine. S.— Engelmann spruce. Scale: Vertical space equals 

 100,000,000 feet board measure 



of spruce found in the United States. Since it is limited to the higher 

 and more remote mountains, it is not well known. The local logger 

 calls it " white pine," for much of it is of excellent quality and yields 

 first-class lumber not unlike the true white pine in appearance and 

 texture.
