The great amount exported is due to the large centralized cut in 
northern Arizona and in the Zuni Mountains in western New Mexico. 
The grades above No. 2 common will ordinarily stand shipment out- 
side of the Territories. In general, a considerable amount of box 
material is shipped to California. Thesmall local mills for the most 
part sell their entire output within the county, with the exception 
of the high grades, amounting to perhaps 10 per cent of the total. 
The 53,428,000 board feet sold locally and the 87,622,000 feet exported 
bring the total cut of western yellow pine in the two Territories up 
to 141,050,000 board feet. With the increasing sale of Government 
timber that is anticipated, the total cut in the two Territories should 
reach 150,000,000 feet by 1912. 
SALE OF TIMBER ON THE NATIONAL FORESTS. 
Green merchantable timber on the National Forests is for sale when 
its removal will not endanger the streams or reduce the timber sup- 
ply below the point of safety or make a second crop doubtful. There 
is about 20,000,000,000 feet of merchantable saw timber on the Na- 
tional Forests in the Southwest. Of this, at least 80 per cent is yel- 
low pine. Table 27 gives the approximate amount of merchantable 
saw timber on each National Forest and the percentage which west- 
ern yellow pine forms of the stand.
