The mill at Diamond Springs will probably be continuous in operation for all future time. At present they have fifty years timber ahead of their mill, and many years second growth already behind it. When they finish cutting their virgin timber they plan to have their land re-grown b;r nature's own reforestation, and ready for commercial cutting again. They figure that it takes about 40 years for commercial timber to grorv in their territory. They burn their slashings and clean them up after they have finished logging. Their timber is White and Sugar Pine.
