Instead of gong into the woods and
cutting trees and saving them into log
lengths, the lumbermen of Cape May, in
New Jersey, mine their lumber. Ages
and ages ago a forest of cedar. trees
waved it's branches in the breezes about
Cape May. The sea is supposed to
have broken the barrier which separat-
ed it from the trees and overturned
them by undermining their roots.
Their weight caused them to sink in
the soft muck where they had stood
and the mold of centuries of leaves
closed over them. One day a man in
passing through the swamp found one
Of the cedar logs and when he had
dug it out it was as sound as when it
grew hundreds Of years before. OF
course it was very valuable as lumber
and from that time on the mining of
logs has kept great many men busy
every summer~ They locate the trees
by plunging a long iron rod into the
soft muck. When they have "struck
wood" they begin digging until the
mine is laid bare and the logs are then
hauled away to the sawmill Most of
the trees are from ten to twelve feet
under ground, but some of them have
been found as deep as ninety feet
down.
