In the lower pen insula of Michigan in 1870, white pine lands sold readily at from $1.25 to $1.60 an acre for the choicest tracts located within easy hauling distance of navi gable streams. In Minnesota, Wlscon. slrt and the upper peninsula pins land sold on a different basis, .the ruling! prices being from 25 cents to 75 cents a thousand feet. To-oay white - pine sells from $10 to $25 a thousand feet in Michigan and from t to $15 a thou sand In Minnesota and Wisconsin. , In the early days of pine lumbering In both the upper and lower peninsula of Michigan baM wjbbds.of ail kind, excepting oak and cherry, , were vre garded a worthless. Cherry lumber was sold In Buffalo and Chicago mar. kets at a fair price to the furniture manufacturers, and the best grade of white oak found a desultory market at the kike shipyard, where It wa Used a planking in the .building ot lake schooners and steam vessels. Elm and baswood. now the most sought woods of the -Michigan,, timber belt were practically worthies as ,- merchandise and' were left by the early lumbermen as not being worth the price of felling thsfe. trees and hauling them to mill.

However, It Is with con siderable difficulty that he Is able each year to secure enough timber to supply even a small portion ot his trade, and his operations now cover the entire Btate, where a few years ago he se cured most of the timber on the Cass and Saginaw rivers. .
