Valuable Timber.

Valuable Timber.
Oconee has vast wealth in her timber
resources, as is shown by the following
information procured from one of Oco-
nec's leading shingle manufacturers.
Recently Mr.. II. d. Huskamp began to
operate his shinglc mill on the land of
his father, Mr.. John Huskamp, near
West Union. On this place he has cut
much valuable timber, but ono tree de-
serves special mention. This tree was a
very large pine. 1t measured SO inches
in diameter at tho stump and 90 feet to
where tho last block was cut. From
this tree Mr. Huskamp secured 60 blocks,
Is inches long, and sawed from the
blocks l4,750 shingles. The smallest
block was Is inches in diameter. Out of
the whole nnmber Of shingles only 2,750
were second class. Twelve thousand of
the shingles he sold at $3.50 per thou
sand, amounting to $2l.60. The remain
ing 2,750 were marketed for $3.50. Mr..
Huskamp, therefore, sold tho proceeds
from this one tree for $2i0O. Mr.. Hus-
kamp, ST., was paid at tho rate of 20
cents per thousand for his timber, and
secured for this one tree $2.05. Oconee's 8
timber lands are valuable and would
prove a good iuvcstmcnt for moneyed
men
