GATHERED
SAWMILL CAN RUN
FOREVER ON HUGE
GOVT. TIMBER TRACT

The sawmill operator who purchases
the big block of western yellow pine
timber now being offered for sale by
the government on the Sitgreaves ma
tional forest in Arizona, can cut 30
million feet of lumber a year and
keep it up perpetually, declares Dis
trict Forester Frank C. w. Pooler,
who regards the offering as an un-
usual opportunity for another per-
maneft industry on the Colorado
plateau.
Survey and timber estimate to-
gether with plans for logging and log
transportation have been completed
by expert logging engineers and the
whole area mapped. The person or
company that purchases the timber
can build a modern sawmill in any
one of three suggested locations in
which the entire two billion feet can
be milled without moving the plant.
Logging thirty million feet a year
will-cut the entire 100000 acres over
in about rs years. The removal of the
mature trees from the present virgin
stand will release the half grown and
small trees to greatly stimulated
growth through increased light and
moisture conditions so that the second
crop, forestry officials believe, will
equal if it does not surpass the ORR
ginal stand in volume.
An investment of approximately a
million dollars, according to the log
ging engineer who drew up the pros
pectus Of the Deer Springs unit, will
have to be made by the company that
undertakes the enterprise. This is an
indication of the size of the operation
and the consequent benefit in work
market for farm products and the gen
eral industrial prosperity that such an
enterprise affords the community.
The cutting out of the first big block
will require the construction OF about
10 miles Of mainline railroad and
about $50 miles Of spur lines.

The old cart wheel silver dollar,
which in many sections of the coun-

come SO little used as to be regarded
as a curiosity, is again to come into
its own as a result of campaign
started by the federal reserve banks
to have this form of money given
freer circulation. In this the banks
are asked to cooperate.
During the past several years an
unprecedented demand for one dollar
bills has developed, and in order to
supply this demand and meet redemp-

this denomination, the U. S. treasury
has been forced to place in circulation
unseasoned currency with the result
that the life of such bills has been
considerably reduced.
