Arizona boasts of the largest uncut pine forest in the world. This great body of virgin timber extends for 200 miles all the way from the Grand Canyon to the New Mexican line in a south easterly direction, and is com posed of three great national forest reserves, the Sitgreaves, Coconino and Tonto. Of these the Sitgreaves is perhaps the largest, occupying the Mogollon plateau. It is bounded on the northwest by the Coconino for est, on the southwest by the Tonto and on the southeast by by the Apache forest. The Sitgrieves is the only one of the three forests comprising the unbroken pine area of Ari zona where lumbering operations have not been permitted by the government. The Coconino for est supplies lumber for the mills at Flagstaff, Williams and Rior dan, while the big mill at Mc Nary draws its supply from both the Tonto and the Apache for ests. However, the government will let contracts this summer for the working of one of the four bnits of the Sitgrieves for est, according to information from Winslow. About 300,000, 000 feet of lumber will be sold in the first lot. While this may seem to the layman as a terrific cut in the standing timber of this great forest, it is but a drop in the bucket when it is known that the estimated standing tim ber in the Sitgrieves is four bil lion feet. Good roads traverse the Sit greaves forest, the most notable one being the Pine-Winslow road. The forest’s north line is about 20 miles south of Winslow and vacationists visiting that city can find wonderful hunting, fishing and camping in less than an hour’s ride from that point. Countless streams have their source in the Sitgreaves forest and with the network of good forest roads it is possible for the motorist to reach the majority of them with ease. The quickest route to the forest is by way of Roosevelt, Dam, Payson and Pine.—Epitaph.
