THE DAILY EVENING TELEG R API! PHIL ADEL Pill A, THURSDAY, OCTOBERS, 1870. 5W7JS PINE FORESTS OF AMERICA. IntrrtotlBft Fuel In t f.naaber Trade of the Patare. A writer in the St. Lotus Republican gives the following valuable foots And specifications in regard to the lumber production and trade of this country:-- j "Ten years ago stnmpnge in Maine on the Tenobscot and Kennebeo rivers was at what was considered a nominal value, from fifty cents to one dollar per thousand feet. When it can be obtained now, it is sold from seven to ten dollars. On the St. Croix river, Minne sota, etumpage was only fifty cents to one dollar per thousand feet five years ago, now it averages from two dollars and fifty cents to five dollars and fifty. Nothing under the for mer figures is desirable, l'ine lands can scarcely be found in Government hands. It is gradually concentrating into the hitads of fewer parties, and is most rapidly enhancing in value. There are parties who now number their lands in rash tracts. Messrs. Chapman A Thorp, of this city, or the Eau Clare Lum ber Company, for instance, own over 80,000 acres; Knapp, Stout & Co., of Dubuque, now connected with the firm of Bjss & Walkup, of this city , own . and control 100,000 or more acres, and several other par ties on the Wisconsin, Chippewa, St. Croix, Upper Mississippi rivers and tributaries, own and control from 20 to 30,000 acres each. The business, in fact, has assumed a very dif ferent phase from that of ten years ag, and all available or valuable pine land are now private propeity, and are owned in the main by men wbo appreciate their value, and who are fast clearing away the forests and sending the products to market. Now, with all this large concentration of lands and the heavy draft that bas been made on the forests of pine in the past few years, it becomes a serious question to the man who will think what is to sustain this Immense draft for oue of the most common necessaries of life, and a demand for which every improvement in civilization is only increasing. While the ob ject of those who control this large interest in monopolizing to a great extent the trade of the future will be more seriously felt when the heavy demand that is to come from Eu rope and prospectively that of Asia) the for mer of which is already drawing on us for supplies. "The lumber trade of Michigan, Wisojnsin, and Minnesota, for the year 1800, shows the amount cut as being 2,029,372, 2.5 feet for the State of Michigan, 317,400,000 feet for the State of Minnesota, and 9U,iOO,00 feet for the State of Wisconsin. This in cludes the lake shore and the whole Stale of Wisconsin, which heretofore has been difficult to get a report from. The total amount cut in these States was 3,311, 372,25. feet, and that to obtain this quantity there have been shipped 883,032 acres or 1380 square miles of pine have been removed. It is calculated that 4,000,000 acres of land still remain unstripped in Michigan, which will yield 15,000,000,003 feet of lumber. While 3,000,000 acres are still standing in Wisconsin, which will yiell 11,2."0,000,00 feet, and that which remains in Minnesota, taking the estimate of a few years since of that which was surveyed and unexplored, after deduoting the amount cut the past few years, we find 3,030,000 acres to be the proper estimate of trees now standing which will yield 32,302,500,000 feet of lum ber. This makes a total of 15,030,000 acres of pine lands, which remain standing in the . above States, that will yield 58,042,500,000 feet of lumber, and it is thought that fifteen or twenty years will be required to cut and send to market the trees now standing. These figures show the increased rate ef consump tion during the past year, and indicate with what rapidity our forests can be cleared. We will take the older lumber States for instance, which have surprised every inhabitant at the early disappearance of their white pine. The Maine forests have been so well stripped that not a tree of old growth is to be seen in them. The white pine is represented only by sap lings, which will not be of any service, as lumber, for years, and most of the lumber they use now comes from Michi gan. Twelve years ago New York was a great lumber State, and exported heavily the manufactured qualities; while now her pine forests are exhausted and she has to rely on the lake regions of the West, by way of the Erie Canal, and from Canada by Lake Champlain and the Champ1 ain Canal. Large quantities of hemlock and spruce are yet to be found in the northern counties of the State, which in part substitutes for the pine, and railroads are piercing the wilder ness in order to bring it to market. We have now reached a period when the demand for timber is rapidly on the increase and the sup ply diminishing. Settlements, too, are ap proaching the treeless regions of the plains. I3y what agency the Western prairies and the country beyond have been denuded it is use less to speculate. "It is true that there is a large region in the vicinity of Georgian Bay and the Pro vince of Ontario, Canada, as yet hardly touched by the woodman's axe. But when we take into consideration the vast extent of territory of the West aud South to be sup plied, we cannot look to Canada from the West for supplies, while the American East ern is destitute and will require all that re gion can furnish. Then Wisconsin, Michi gan, and Minnesota will be the more heavily drawn upon each year for the demands of the West and South, and the question is, can any plan be devised to replace the loss by con sumption of lumber now being exhausted with such prodigality? In Europe, aming the questions that foi the last century have been important in the ciunoils of the nations, has been that of preserva tion and adding to the growth of the woods of the Countries. Valuable orders of merit are accorded to the men who preserve or grow the timber needed for ornameut or manufacture. And to the Intelligent mm from England, .France, or Prussia there is no sight that occasions him more surprise and pain than the recklessness with wu'iot he sees our wood cut down in the forest, 1 t in the transit by carelessness, or waste 1 in , the manufacture. We Americans are not exempt from the stupidity that has tmbt the people of the Old World snoh a fe trial lesson. The destruction of our forests aud the denudation of our prairies of tunir primw tive vegetation have made fearful iuroili upon our elimate. The rains hive loss frequency, and when they do oouie are in t4 deluging than ormerly. We are more fre quently suffering from the opposite extrdtuai of excessive droughts and destructive inun dations. Our springs, brooks, aud rivers are drying up. Our old folks all Jell us that brooks now more than half the time dry, in their childhood afforded uonsUnt wtr power to mills; and as a proof of wh.it they say, point the mills site long since abn loueJ. Why is this? Because our forei's huvd I Since succumbed, or are rapidly disappearing lefore the axe of the woodman and tuo dras of the incendiary, and our flocks have de nuded the prairies of their primitive grissei. Experience bas established the fact that those regions, by protection from fire and proper care, may be covered with a growth equal to the wants of the settlers, and maybe continu ally renewed for all time. Projects nave been strggented for pi tnting and rearing forests, and yet, while a'.l de scriptions of timber are becoming more soaroe in settled communities, and more expensive, it is nevertheless the conviction that the evil may be lessened by proper effort in all the States east of the great plains, and even in those plains the grand forests of the Cascade region will furnish supplies until the science of arboriculture may clothe such treeless localities as are now appropriated to cereal cultivation. The process of fostering this interest should be encouraged, and every farmer and individual consult their greatest want. The method of planting and rearing trees is reduced to a science. It is known that the pine and fir tribe are generally grown on sandy, shallow surface noil; other trees are native of swamps; while the oak, hickory, chesnnt, and others of hardier and more solid growth exist in natural and better soils, suited to their peculiarities. The State of Kansa9 is the first to take steps in this . matter, for the cultivation of foreign trees, and the gov ernment is offering rewards of merit to those who will engage in the enterprise. Mr. 11. S. Elliott, of this city, as ind i'iiil agent of the Kansas Pacific liailrmd. is similarly engaged along the line of that road. "But of all timber the white pine is one of the most common necessities; it enters more largely into use for general purposes than all others combined, and its preservation should interest every individual in the land. At the increased iate of consumption, and the fearful inroads that are being made on our forests of pine, the years will soon pass by when Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin will be as destitute of this timber as Miine or New York. "But the question comes back to us, can any plan be devised to prevent the waste, increase the durability, or replace the loss by consumption of the lumber now being ex hausted with such prodigality? 'Tis true that there should be more economy in build ing houses. Build so as to accommodate the wants of the community, and not with the extravagance of room and waste of material which is so noticeable in the tenement houses of our day. There is plenty of timber which can be used in the place of pine for certain purposes that is equally as good and serviceable, and by this means the pine inte rest can be fostered for a much longer time without much competition or much advance in prices, and cheap homes, cheap rents, will enter into the domestic economy of the people. AMEMCANGUINSIN FOREIGN ARMIES. The Demand Tor Arms by Kuropean 3evern nieute lleavv importations The CJiu market. A prominent officer of one of the London Commercial jLxcnauges nas lately placed the sum of $3,000,000, wilh the promise of as much more as may be needed, at the disposal ot a business associate In this city, with instructions to purchase and ehipfcas rapidly as possible all obtainable email arms of certain kinds and of good quality, with quantities of Hold artillery aud various munitions of war In large artoums. ine caoie despatches re ceived from this and other private sources show that there is a heavy and increas ing demand lor good war material or every Rind lor the supply ot several European govern ments. The demand for arms is said to be so great that our Government, which is known to have still on hand a large surplus, could dispose of the whole within one week provided prices were fixed and propor facilities afforded for the ready transaction of the business. The red tape delays consume 60 much time that buyers or agents are unable to make contracts to deliver at certain periods, and, where weeks or even months are liable to intervene, there U the constant risk that the wars will be ended before the end of the War Department routine is reached. At the same time strong political In fluences have sometimes accomplished results speedily enough, as in the case ot the recent purchase of many thousand Springfield rifles direct lrom the urdnance uuice by the Khedive. wbo wanted them at once, and who obtained the aid of an eminent Congressmaa to secure them. A portion of the arms shipped secretly in the Yille de Paris were in cases which were marked as having been shipped direct from the United States arsenals in diilerent parts of the country, 1 hey were partot tne several nun dred thourand small arms which the Govern ment has for Bale to any bnyers who want them The modus operandi is about as follows: The (peculator opens communication with the War Department, generally through the Ordnance Ollicerat the arsenal where he finds the kind of arms that he wants; the Ordnance Office has no fixed price, and consequently a proposal is for warded for the consideration of the Chief of Ordnance; correspondence ensues, the Secretary of War is consulted, terms are agreed upon, securities are Hied, and finally. after much writing, copying, and delay in the transmission of papers, it is settled that the buyer shall nave a given number ot thousands of arms to be held for him on storage at the arsenal lor a period named, .lie then seeks a purchaser, and when he has found one they are fehipped to any given point. In buying arms. preference 1b apt to be given to those of the government, because it is Kuown mac tney are kept in the best possible condition aud frequently inspected, aud will be of precisely the quality that they are officially represented to be. llie sultan some montns ago.bjught 200,000 8prlngtield rifles, muzzle-loader and the Khedive 100,000. France bas also, within the same period, bought a large number in this country; and, singular to say, she pre ferred those of inferior patterns-it may have lit en witn a view of altering them according to her own notions. Cuba and various States of Mexico have also obtained a considerable num ber of Uncle Sam's weapooa which were hung on the rack when ne was done fighting. At the close of our war some 30 or more gun factories were dismantled; and the machinery was sold aud shipped to Europe, as secretly as possible, nut itussia is understood to nave re ceived most of It. Kussia is known to be busily making arms of good quality at this time; but she is not believed to be buying any in this country, Prussia does not buy here for the uee ot her army; but her agents have sometimes taken quantities of arms simply to prevent them reaching a rival government. Belgium is not now making arms. Austria is having none. The French Government itself does not appear to make exertions to obtain supplies of arms lrom abroad; but the several prominent municipalities, such as Lyons Bordeaux. Marseilles, Havre, etc., are purchas' Ing large quantities f war material of every kind, lust as was none oy lare cities in tats .country early in the late war. The capacity of the Imperial arsenals ior rapiuiy turning oul Cbasseoots appears to have been greatly over estimated: and now, after her misfortunes in the field, which of course entailed great losses ot arms of all kinds, Frauce is the most poorly armed of all tbe natious. The action of her patriotic merchants ha, however, recently been very energetic, and they are obtaining arms w litre ver tiiey can be iound. In addilion'to the sale of arms bv the Govern merit, there lias been a very heavy Bale of wea pons of higher qual ly and improved patterns by various arms companies In the country, ihe new Heinlnglou breech-loidiug arm, which was l iouglit out in ldtiu, appears to lead all others lu popularity nuioug toreigu powers. I be KeniiniMon Company baa furnished nearly 300,1100 arm to various furwlgn government, or is dow turning out guns at the rate of about 700 per day to nil orders which will soon bring the number furnished up to that amount. This company bas furnished the following: Den matt, 43,fXX); U. 8. Navy, 13,000; Seden, 30,000; Spain, 40,000; Rome, 10,000; Kgvpt, fiO.000; Japan, XKi Greece, 80.000; France, 50,000, with orders fr as many more as possi ble, until further notice, according to the capacity of tbe works. The Winchester Amis Company are furnishing considerable quantities, and for the product of tk8 Colt maun factory it Is kuown that there is a steady demand. A singular feature of the gnn-markst is the number of speculators and adventurers who figure in it. There are at least 100 men here and at Washington wbo are concerned in tbe business f securing, or pretending to secure. arms for delivery to foreign governments. They seek interviews witn persons likely to wish to buy. and witn those wno nave guns to sell. boast of their political and other influence in tbe one case, and In the other claim to have confidential authority from various powers for the purchase of military supplies. The doubt and mystery in which such matters as the mili tary equipment oi nations are carefully kept ot course afford afinc field for the adventures of shrewd and unprincipled speculators. Sales are. However, continually making nowadavs. and only witblo a day or two the Government has disposed of 40,000 Enflelds, at $7 each, to a foreign purchaser. At the same time fifteen batteries of field artillery were sold: but the sale was exceptional, as the Europeans do not covet our artillery as they do our small arms. ..V. l. irxbune. THE YEL'OW FEVER. Tbe Terrible Pelllence In Nfw York Keport oi ino Monro oi urHiin. From the N. Y. Jictnivg 1'oU, 4th inHtdnt. The following official report of the Sanitary Committee of the Board of Health on the yel low lever at governor b island was presented to the board at the regular meeting ibis after noon. It will bo read with much Interest: "Health Depautment, No. SOI Mott street. New York, October 4. 1870. To the Honorable the Board of Health Department: Gentlemen : The committee who were authorized to take the neeestarv measures for thn removal to Quarantine of those sick with yellow fever at Governor s island, and to protect this city lrom said disease, and to Investigate tbe origin of tbe disease and the circumstances of its introduc' tion at Governor's Island, have the honor to present the following report: "Un the morning of the 30th September tne Fealth Olllcer of the port having placed his steamer at tne disposal ot tne committee, an at tempt was made to remove the sick to the West Bank Quarantine Hospital, but the weather proving unpropitious, tbe removal could not be effected until tbe day following, October 1; on that day ail inose iound sick or complaining. to the number of sixty persons, soldiers, women and children, were removed, ihe bedding. clothing and other articles that could possibly have become infected upon tbe steamer were taken to the steamer Illiuols in the lower bay and burned, ihe quarters upon the Island. where tne lever had occurred were vacated, fumi gated and cleaned. Provision was made for the removal daily to the Quarantine Hospital Of any cases that might occur subsequently. 'No communication will be allowed by any soldier or residents with the infected quarters upon tbe island, nntu alter irost shall Have ren dered these restrictions unnecessary. "Thus, by the immediate removal of all sick, and placing the island under strict quarantine, your committee hope they may be enabled to protect tne city irom me disease. "The most diligent inquiries have as yet failed to discover that this disease nas been communicated to any person within the limits of the city, except those who have been directly exposed to the infection upon -the island, by visiting tne sick as nurses or mourners, remain ing there in the infected locality long enough to have contracted the disease. Since the 12th of September there have been seven deaths in the city from this disease, all of whom had been npon Governor's Island for a longer or shorter period, either as nurses lor their friends or as mourners at funerals oi those dead of the lever, But three other cases have as yet been discov ered in the city up to the present time, aud these three were soldiers from the Island on leave. Respecting the origin of the disease, and the circumstances of its introduction upon Governor's Island, from all the investigation possible in this limited time, your committee cannot but come to the conclusion that its source has been from infected vessels that have been allowed to land and lie at the docks of Brooklyn, ranging from a point at the Empire stores downward to as far as Hamilton ferry, opposite to the eastern shores of Governor s Island. Any Infected article thrown overboard from these vessels would, by the natural flow of the tides at this point, be washed upon the beach at Gov ernor b island, immediately opposite the quar ters wnere the lever nrst broke out. un rnurs day, September 22. two members of the Sani tary Committee, Dr. Stephen Smith and Dr. Ceccarlnl. with the City Sanitary Inspector, visited the Island, carefully examined the cases. and were unable to diagnose the disease as vellow fever, beiner further assisted bv Sure-eon Page, in charge ot the post, who bad been fa miliar witn tbe disease in the southern States. At the first visit of your committee to Governor's leJand, on Thursday, September 28 it was dim- cult to form a decided opinion upon the true character of the disease, as by far the largest proportion of the cases presented symptoms bo obscure and mild in their types, that a positive diagnosis could not be made. Two cases, how ever, which were in other buildings separate from the general hospital, were so well defined in all the characteristic symptoms of yellow fever that your committee had no difficulty in making the diagnosis, These were recent cases, "Tbe mild type which the cases have pre sented at the island from the first has been the cause of so much confusion and doubt as to the true character of the disease, and bad up to this time deceived those who had been familiar with the disease in its southern habitants even after the report of Dr. Nott, who visited the island by request of the President of the Board, at the suggestion of Dr. Smith, on Wednesday last that the Burgeons in charge of the post were not convinced of the true character of the disease until those well-marked cases placed the diag nosis beyond doubt. "Respectfully submitted, "G. Ceccakini, Ch. Sanitary Committee, "J. M. Caknochan, Health Ollicer, "Mokeau Morkis, City San'y Inspector." ACTION OF THE HKOOKLTN II E ALT II OFFICER. An order was Issued yesterday by Health Ollicer Cochran, of Brooklyn, prohibiting all communication between that city and Gover nor's Island, in consequence of the yellow fever which prevails there. A party of workmen, who are engaged upon the island, but live In Brook lyn, attempted to Infringe this regulation, by rowing in a Email boat to the foot of Degraw street, witn tne intention oi disembarking there. They, however, turned back again when they perceived tne neaitn squaa waning tor them. In tbe evening Dr. Cochran himself visited the island, and saw General Neil, who assured him that all communication between the island and Brooklyn and this city should be suspended until the lslaud is declared out ot quarantine. Up to a late hour this afternoon no fresh cases of yellow fevr in this city have been reported. STEAMED OYSTERS!
