American Consul Henry D. illllor, nt Ntu Chwung, Clilna, sends tho fol lowing Interesting report on tho lum ber Industry of Manchuria and Si beria. Tho report says In part: There aro many lumbering enter prises being established In Manchuria, bluerla and Sakhalin, proparlng to compete with the Pacific coast lum ber. .The most important Is tho Russian Timber &. Mining Company of tho Far East, with headnuartors at. Tort Ar thur. This company Is organized by some of uic most prominent men con nected with tho Russian government, and is reputed to have a capital of 20,- 000.000 rubles ( J10.3U0.00U). Its prin clpal operations will bo on tho Yalu Tlvor, whore It runs down timber from tho forests of Korea, no well as tho largo forests of Manchuria. Character of the Timber. I have been informeu by men who have seen these forests that they aro very extensive and contain Immense quantities of exceedingly fine timber. Thro is much flue tlniDer In this mar ket from that locality, and It haB been the sourco of supply for both this and the Tientsin market for ages. The ocean and river junks are uullt of this 'timber, hewn out in large pieces often three feet and more in widtn. Tfiere are about L'GJUU oi these junks trading at tills port. Tho timber is mostly pine, very much llko tho white nine of tho united States This is tho best quality of lumber that I have seen In China. Tho percent age of clear wood is not very largo. There is also consedcrable 11 r, usu ally much smaller than tho pine, and also a timber similar to our tamarack. Theso are the three varieties trom the Yalu district that I havo seen. It is brought into tn.s market and tho other markets of China on junks, a photograph of which is enclosed. The Junks when coming to this market usually sail In fleets as a means of protection against pirates, who often board them near the mouth of this river and rob them or levy tribute on them. Most of tlila timber Is driven or ratt ed down tho Yalu In short lengths, and it Is almost impossible to get long timbers from this uistrlct. The Chi nese in their native affairs seldom use any but short timuers and all tho timber cut for Chinese consumption is cut into short lengths In the for forests. Method of Manufacture. Up to the present tho logs from this section have been cut Into lumber by the whlpsaw method, the natives us ing a thin and narrow sawblado with Frank r.

The author still stipulates that bis nans auMst remain a secret' teeth sot so as to cut both ways. Whuro tho Hussions uavo charge 0! tho lintlvo sawmills they have Intro duced largo and heavy saws, cutting only on the downward stroke such saws b nro used In our country for whlpsawlng lumber. With these tho natives accomplish much more. On the Yalu this old method is now to give way to another. Itussla Is to construct at the mouth of this river tho third largest sawmill in tho world. I havo not been oblo to get the de tails or to ascertain whether the saw mill Is to como from the United States or not but k is certain that a great mill entcrprUo is already In process of construction. It is to bo situated nt ono of tho points of polit ical controversy. It 1b nt this place that the great naval battlo between China and Jnpnn was fought, tho con clusion of which practically settled tho war. The establishment of this enterprise is very likely to infiuonco tho lumber trade of China to somo oxtcnt, but more particularly in Manchuria and North China. I am Inclined to the opinion that it will not seriously af fect tho trado In central China. Harbin Sawmills. Tarbln Is today only three years old but It Is ono of tho greatest cities of Asia and has tho largest European population of nny Asiatic city, con taining 60,000 Russians, besides tho soldiers. At Harbin there are two small sawmills cutting timber from the Sungarl river coming from below the city. On tho railway lino between Harbin and Vladlvostock there aro two largo sawmills, tho machinery for which cost, in place, 160,000 rubles (177,250). These mills aro engaged In cutting lumber at present for tho railway and for tho town of Harbin. There Is none of tho lumber that I havo yet seen equal to tho Oregon pine, but much of it Is good enough for tho common markets of China and will be accepted for most purposes. I do not know who Is furnishing tho mill and logging outfits for these Rus sian companies, but t believe that tho machinery companies of tho Pa cific coast could securo this trade If thoy mado the effort necessary.
