Around the Iroquois Falls on west bank the timberis the best t came on. From about four miles below the falls to half a mile above themand for a distance of sixty chains from the river the land is rolling and timbered withpoplar atd spruce, balsam and a few white birch and on some of the rocky ridges jackpine. One can cut fourteen cords of pulp-wood per acre, chiefly poplar, which willaverage twelve inches in diameter. The bush is open and the walking very bad, there.
