2 BILLION FEET
 OF TIMBER SOON
 PUT ON MARKET
Forest Service to Advertise Two Big Units for
 Thomas Bay Project.

Two billion board feet of timber contained in two units in the Ton gaes National Ferest arc soon to be Advertised for sale by the local dis trict Forest Service, according to an announcement made today by Assist ant District Forester E. F. Heintzel- man. This timber is contained on tracts alloeatcd for use in connection with the water power development project cn Cascade Creek at Thomas Bay.
 This project is covered by a pre- liminary permit issued by the Fed cral Power Commission to Hutton, McNair & Dougherty, New York and San Francisco brokers. The sale is
 being advertised at the request of this finn which claims 10 have it's nc2otiatiens for finances to point where it is necessary to have a con tract f0r timber supplies before they can proceed further. The Forest Service is advised by MT. Dougherty that the plans call for the erection eff pulp and paper manufacturing plant at Thomas Bay with a daily capacity of 275 tons
 The timber which is offered is To- cated in two distinct units. One, containing roughly 45,0o0 acres gross area. is on the mainland ad-
 jacent to Thomas Bay. The second unit covers a gross area of 200, ,00O acres on Kupreanof and Kuiu islands in the vicinity of the village of Rake. The net area will be con- Iaderably Ices than indicated in the gross terrifcry as the units take in
 watershe eds and much Of the land is covered with nonmerhantable tim Der, it was stated The net area will probably be one-half the indicated gross. The Forest Service will cruise both units in detail during the com- ing season. Reconnaissance surveys made recently by the Service indi- cated the timber 10 be 765 per cent
 hemlock, 225 per cent spruce and the rest Alaska cedar. It is esti-
 mated that the timber offered for sale is sufficient to furnish 30- year supply fer a mill with daily capacity Of PTS tons of paper.
 Forest Service ocicials said the timber is being offered at this time to give the present prospective pur- chaaers. or others who might be in terosted, ample time to make detail ed examinations of the areas to be included in the sale and to consider the provisions of the contract of fered. It is believed in ths manner 1t will be possible to avoid possible delays due to timber negotiations
 when an intending manufacturer is otherwise in position to start con struetion work on his project
 The bids on the timber will be opened on August 1. it was stated. As soon as it is possible to examine
 the tracts. according to informal tion received at local Forest Service
 headquarters, Mir Dougherty will come up to tho district with en- gineers and others to make a field study of the entire project.
