Four dollars per ton is about a medium price; this gives a product of $1,000,000. To this we may add, as the product of masts, staves, shingles, per annum, $20,000.[26] [26] Having no data upon which to form an estimate of the amount of these products, we simply give this result as problematical. It probably falls short very far of the true annual value. Grand total of the lumbering produce in dollars, reckoning four dollars to the pound: Long lumber $1,041,840 Square timber 1,000,000 Other lumber as above 20,000 --------- $2,061,840. THE END.
