/ (Continued from page 1) What was the timber picture years " ago? Things were booming on the east side. Hobart Mills, Floriston, Verdi, Loyalton and Calpine were all operating full time or about to come into full operation. Truckee was the lumberman's mecca of these parts. But, alas, the pine timber ran out under an unwise cutting budget which saw Verdi first to go and the successively Floriston, Hobart Mills and Calpine. Floriston might still be operating were it not for the difficulty it encountered with polution of water of the Truckee river. The Crown-Zellerbach company which had this operation was committed to a permanent yield policy for its timber stands. Of that original group, ‘only Loyalton remains. Hobart Mills is building again on a new body of virgin fir timber which heretofore has been considered unmerchantable, All far-seeing people will hope that this timber is cut wisely so that there shall be no need for Hobart Mills to perish again. What of the west side area? The easily operated portion of the forest had long since been logged for the early California mines, the Comstock lode and the development of the state of Utah. The remaining timber was too inaccessable and save for a few small local mills about the centers of population, there was not much activity. One case was a small sawmill out of Foresthill at Black canyon, just-off the Deadwood ridge. Logging was done by horses, The Bart Finning mill had burneddown. This was not true, however, on the east side. There, to the tune of chugging old "donkey" with "A" frames mounted on top, cables were strung to. the woods and logs were yanked along the ground to the landing decks, Here they were loaded on cars by steam hoists and hauled away by geared locomotives to the sawmills, which were some times ten miles away. able ski hills and resorts at Donner Eleven Applications for Rei dh Mae ee a wads summit, Lake Tahoe, and Sierra Butte Pies She ity oie onegain finned Auburn owever, W S thriving y areas last year.

In the Foresthill area the American River Pine company is logging and manufacturing high grade lumber products. The twon of Foresthill is fast taking on the aspect of a thriving community, brought about by its active lumber industry. Other well-known lumber companies in this area are Maxwell-Christie, Hughes Brothers, ON ii cists awe PE 8 100 years of Nevada county Sonora, and Aderson-Been brothers; ~ The picture is pretty much the same all over the west side at each population center such as Nevada City, Grass Valley, Downieville, ¢amptonville, and North San Juan, i . All public lands on the Tahoe national forest are divided into timber working circles of varying sizes from five to 30 million feet of cutting capacity per year. Within these areas the forest does not permit cutting beyond the amount which is growing that year on the particular unit. This system provides for permanent logging and milling industries and thus permanent communities. The total annual cut last year on the forest was 45-plus million feet. As roads are farther developed into here-to-fore unreachable areas, the forest will be cutting the full capacity of the public lands. At the close of the first World War recreational use of the National forest was confined mostly to the Lake Tahoe area. Tahoe, of course has been the lode stone which has drawn most of the recreation visitors. Old forest officers report camping was confined to areas along the north fork’ of the Yuba river near Downieville, at Big Bend, Tahoe Camp, and Jackson meadows above the Bowman reservoir. Little more than a handful of campers, outside of deer hunters in the fall, made use of the forest service in early days. : Times have changed. Speed boats by the score have replaced the old high stacked, stately.steamers that cruised the shores of Tahoe years ago. Resorts by the hundreds crowd the water front. Towns and villages have sprung up to supply tourist and year around resident needs. Winter sports activities have developed from a small group back in the twenties to an exceptionally large group and 200,000 winter sport enthusiasts jammed the availhad its ups and downs. Years ago the Last Chance mine on the old Foresthill divide was going strong. It was reached only by poor wagon road ‘or trail by way of Michigan Bluff and Deadwood. It was a touch of the old west. One can still see the old buildings and where the old bar was; though it is much easier to get to now than when old Dave Ray was there.
