It is only within a few years that the spruce forests of Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have come to be appreciated at their real commercial worth, through the rapid development of the pulp-wood industry. It is conceded by some of the shrewdest manufacturers of pulp, not only in Canada, but in the United States, that these provinces have wonderfully rich resources in spruce, and this is in evidence in the fact that within a twelve-month large tracts of spruce land in Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia have passed into the hands of syndicates composed largely of United States capital- ists. Proof in the same direction is shown in the yearly increase of American importations. Exportation to the United States was inaugurated only four years ago. The figures are : $57,197 in 1890, $170,636 in 1891, $183,312 in 1892, and $454,253 in 1893, with a continued increase in 1894. The reforestration of pine lands is a matter of many years, but experts testify that the young spruce will reach maturity in from 10 to 15 years. It will thus be seen that the owners of extensive spruce limits have within their possession an almost perpetual source of income. Pulp-making in Canada has within 10 years grown into an industry, having nearly $3,000,000 of invested capital and over $1,000,000 of annual output. The lumber trade in New Brunswick has
