The Lumber Trade.
Galveston News.

By far'the largest manufacturing
business in Texas at present is the
conversion of trees into boards,
planks, shingles, doors, sash and
blinds, and yet the business is still
comparatively in it's infancy. The
immense forests of eastern Texas
are more valuable than all the sup
posed wealth of the mines of the
west. The statement of the Orange
Tribune of the payment of upwards
OF a'hundred thousand dollars for
logs at that place alone since Febru-
airy, is an indication of.the growing
importance of the business. The
increase in the value of this raw
material, after it has passed through
the mills and been converted into
the various articles used in build
ing, is probably four hundred per
cent. There is no-danger of a glut
in the market for these articles.
Not only is all that vast portion of
Texas west OF the Brazos greatly
dependent on eastern Texas for
lumber, but the rapid approach of
railroad connection with New Mex
leo, Arizona and the republic OF
Mexico, will increase the demand
indefinitely, as these regions are
comparatively destitute of timber
suited to building and mechanical
uses. Nor is the demand limited
to these countries alone, Many of
the West India Islands, South
American and European countries
are largely dependent on the Uni
ted States for lumber and it's pro-
ducts. The manufacture of doors,
sash and blinds by machinery is an
American invention, and two years
ago The United States entered on
the business OF shipping such ar
ticles to England, although that
country was largely supplied with
rough lumber from Canada and her
other American possessions. In
1857 1900 doors and 6,284 pairs
OF sashes and blinds were shipped
from New York, via England, to
Australia and New Zealand. Cali |
tornia, indiDgtllat there was money |
in the business, has entered upon
it and shipped n 7,O00 doors to Aus.
traEa last month, with cores
pording supply ofsasli and blinds,
while New York shipped 5000 doors,
with the usual complement of the
other articles. In 1873 $4,000 doors
We're shipped from the United
States to England and Scotland,
against $500 the year before. These
iguies show the rapid growth of
.be trade, and indicate to some ex-
.ent the demand abroad for the pro
ducts of our forests and lumber
actOrfes.

Ofcourse the foundation for all

ICES this. If The mines are great,
Leadvilie is great; if the mines are

some six or seven miles from the
city along the different gulches and
over the different hills. Every

can be seen the dumps Of earth

from these holes. Yet, where SO
much prospecting has been done,
there has been very little serious.
intelligent prospecting. Men go
out and dig hole the requisite
depth, have an essay made and
find mineral-you can find mineral
in anything here--and then they
have their survey made and hold
a quasi title to the ground. Az
yet not one in FIVE hundred mines
are being really worked for ore.
1t is generally conceded theory
that pay-mineral lies under every
foot of ground for miles about
I,eadyille, and, 80 far, the theory
has been confirmed by experiment.
When all these prospect holes are
worked and mineral found. it is
difficult to estimate the quantity
of ore that will be handled in
Leadville. Pay ore is not found
at any uniform depth. Some lucky
ones find it on the surface; others
have gone 800 feet before being
rewarded for their labor. / have
spoken with many California
miners and they have all told me
that sacb sheet of mineral was
beyond the limits of what they
had presumed possible. Great
fortunes are undoubtedly to be
made here, but thousands of men
