Estimates of the 1962 production of round niine timbers were derived from data collected 

 in an intensive survey of Arizona and New Mexico mine timber receipts in I960, 9 adjusted by 

 data from a 20-percent sampling of mines for 1962 receipts of timbers, and supplemented by 

 U.S. Bureau of Mines statistics for coal and ore production from underground mines. 10 Because 

 of the trend estimation technique used, no sampling error can be assigned. 



Estimates for 1962 output of posts, miscellaneous farm timbers, and fuelwood were based 

 on reports furnished by the National Forests, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclama- 

 tion, and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, supplemented by trend estimates derived from U.S. 

 Bureau of the Census publications for farm use of these products. 1 As with mine timbers, the 

 estimation technique precluded the calculation of. a sampling error.
