NOVA SCOTIA. The area of timber lands in the province of Nova Scotia is in the neighborhood of 3,000,000 acres, of which over 2,000,000 acres are held by lumber operators. In this province the lands are not leased by the Crown as in the other pro- vinces of the Dominion, but are sold outright, the only rights reserved by the Crown having relation to minerals. Besides spruce, of which there are extensive areas and which is of the greatest commercial value, the native woods con- sist of birch, beech, ash, maple and oak. There is also a small growth of pine. The export of lumber from Nova Scotia is considerable, and represents by far the greaterportion of the entire production. For the last three years the ship- ments to trans-Atlantic ports have been on an average of 150,000,000 feet. Large shipments are also made to South America, West Indies, and the United States. Among the leading lumber exporters might be mentioned Dickie & McGrath,of Tusket; Parker, Eakins & Company, Yarmouth ; Rhodes, Curry & Company, Amherst ; Alfred Dickie, Lower Stewiacke ; E. D. Davidson & Son, Bridgewater; Nova Scotia Lumber Company, Sherbrooke; Chas. T. White, Apple River ; and Clarke Bros., Bear River. — THE FOREST LANDS OF BRITISH COLUMB
