MAY FLOAT TIMBER
DOWN BLUE RIVER
IN ARIZONA
MOUNTAIN STREAM MAY BE
USED FOR GOOD PURPOSE
Two Billion Feet of Timber to
Be Made Accessible as Result
of Work Contemplated by
United States Forest Service.

The Blue river, in northern Arizona,
may be prepared for the driving or
logs from the ella, Datil and Apache
forests in New Mexico and Arizona.
providing the plan is thought to be
sufficiently feasible and not too ex-
pensive by the Third district United
States forest service officials, who
have been investigating for some time
past various schemes to maxi ac-
timber on the above named forests.
This large amount of timber. together
with great quantities of %cordwood, is
at present entirely inaccessible. In
order to get the timber to a market
the government will either be COM
PEELED to construct a road, which II is
estimated will cost in the neighbor-
hood of $3.50, 600, or prepare the Blue
river for the driving of logs. The
road would necessitate a fifteen per
cent grade in places, and thc great
cost of construction, the short sea-
son during which it could be operated
and the high cost of maintenance viii
probably result in a decision not to
build the highway. The cost of pre-
pairing the Blue river for log driving
would be approximately $4,000.
1t seems rather strange to speak
of river driving as a means of logging
in the southwest, but although the
surrounding country Is arid, the
mountain regions in the southwest are
often well watered and the Blue river
has an exceptionally large and steady
flow.
1t is planned by either method TO
bring the timber down to the mining
town of Clifton, which annually needs
about Is. 0 900 feet in the develop
ment OF the important mines located
near there. There would also DO n
large surplus OF timber for the open
market.
Government officials are Investigate
ing this matter very fully, since there
are many points to be decided before
deciding in favor of the road or Of
driving the streams. River driving -
at best uncertain, but 1t has the nd
vantage of securing a fuller utilization
Of material than would be possible
with the expense OF hauling on a
road.
An Interesting sidelight or this UNI
dertaking is the possibility of devel-
oping the pulp industry from the i'm
mense quantities of aspen and spruce
which are available and which other
wise would find practically no mar
ket.
Lumbermen throughout this region
and users of timber generally are
greatly interested in the outcome.
