WHILE the white pine forests of Quebec possess the greatest wealth in proportion to their extent, the spruce forests are rapidly becoming more valu- able from a commercial point of view. The pine forests of this province have been denuded of their timber to a greater extent than is the case in Ontario, but nevertheless there still exist considerable quantities both of the red and white variety, principally located in the Ottawa valley. The valley of the St. Maur- ice river once contained valuable pine forests, but spruce now furnishes the principal source of wealth. The spruce forests, which are being more and more exploited every year, extend much further eastward than the pine, and beyond the St. Maurice valley and south of the St. Lawrence are found the largest trees. A report issued by the Quebec Crown Lands Department in 1893 gives an estimate of the quantity of timber lands yet unlicensed. Accord- ing to this report, the total area of Government lands still vacant and not yet under license to cut timber, as well as can be ascertained (the north- ern boundary line being assumed to be for the present at the height of land, a line which is ex- tremely irregular and geodetically determined at a few points only) is certainly not less than 75,- 000,000 acres, or 117,187 squa
