How Our Hard Wood Forests May Be Turned
Into Gold Mines.
THE WAY IS NOW OPEN FOR YOU
In the book published by Col.
Nesbit, commissioner of agricul
ture for Georgia, and entitled
“Georgia, her Resources, and Pos
sibilities, i y we find some reference
is made to the hard woods of the
Appalachian Range, and that they j
will soon lie utilized and become a !
great source of wealth in view of
the gradual destruction of the tim¬
ber of this country.
We find in the same interesting
work a map of Georgia showing
the prevailing timbers and the rel¬
ative density of existing forestry
areas. In this book the entire
section of middle Georgia traversed
by the Georgia railroad is repre¬
sented as standing in the third de¬
gree of density with oak and hard
wood timbers, and short leaf pine.
Recent inquiries made by the
writer lias led him to believe that
in Newton, Columbia, McDuffie,
Warren, Taliaferro, Wilkes, Green,
Oglethorpe, Morgan, and other
counties on the line, and within a
distance of from six to eight miles
of the railroad, can be found tracts
of white oak and other hard wood
timber that would, in the aggre¬
gate, yield between forty and fifty
million feet of merchantable tim

staves that find a ready market.
Tennessee has for years past
been doing an extensive lumber
business, and to such an extent j
has it been carried that in many
portions of the state timber and
lumber is now hauled from eight
to ten miles over the mountains, j
with wagons and timber carts, to
the nearest railroad station. Such
being the case, and if the business
is remunerative in hauling this
distance to reach the rail line, and 1
timber '
the owners of the in the sec
tion of Georgia referred to, are de
sirous of parting with their timber j
■
can they not do so on equally as
good, if not better, terms than the
Tennesseeans ? i
Cannot the several streams
u ;hich the Georgia railroad crosses !
be utilized in delivering the timber
in logs or sawed to the railroad?
The American Forestry Associa
tion has lately held a meeting at
‘
Nashville. Col. J. B. Killebrew,
immigration agent of the N. C. &
St. L. R- R-, delivered an address
before the association on the “For¬
ests of Tennessee. > I
\Ve take the following extracts
from the address, which may be of
interest to some of our readers:
I < The number of feet of logs
purchased by the mills for the cen
sus year (1890) iu Tennessee was
2,854,674,000, at a cost of $4,615,-
769. >»
1 1 The amount of furniture timber
obtained ir. the state, for the same
year, was 6,740,000 feet, at a cost
of a little over $16.00 a thousand
feet.
It should be born in mind that
timber used for furniture is gener¬
ally rated as second class. 4 I Since
1890 the timber business of the
state has increased with great, and
we say, with alarming rapidity.
Estimates made from careful in¬
quiry leads us to believe that the

number ot timber establishments
now in the state are 50 per cent,
greater than they ever were in its
history. Nor is the end yet reach
ed, for nearly every week shows
some new mill started, shingle
mill erected, or planing mill estab
lished. < t There was made along
the line of the N. C. & St. L. R.
R., in the year 1896, two hundred
and forty million (240,000,000) oak
staves, which is four times as
many as were made in the entire
state of Tennessee for the year
1890.” “The value of export *
of timber and forestry products
from the ., United tt j States o for r the ,
year ending June 3 o, I 8 97 , was
$39,000,000 as against $31,
000,000 for the previous year.”
The writer is advised that there
a steady demand for white oak,
poplar, ash and cedar, for export,
This timber must all be first-class.
In conference with prominent lum
men of Nashville and Chatta
we learn that Atlanta is a
market for certain quality i
1 J of
or that which is rejected
the export trade. ,
_ Lumber , shipped , . , for „ export from
Nashville and Chattanooga
is made via Port Royal,
llctl ICSlAnx, ilVllUlK i\ew y one,
other points, taking rail lines
the ports. With the advantages
Augusta offers, having con
with the Georgia railroad
reaches five or six of the At¬
ports, it occurs to us that it
is the opportunity for developing a
new industry, that if once started,
would bring thousands of dollars
to the section of Georgia referred
to.
There are some specimens of
white oak in the Georgia railroad
exhibit at Nashville, which have
been passed on very favorably by
the lumber men, and we do not
think that there would be any ob
jection raised as to the quality of
the timber in Georgia, if it comes
any way near the specimens refer
red to.
