How Mahogany Is Found.

Mahogany trees do not grow in clus
ters, but are scattered throughout the
forest and hidden in a dense growth
Of underhrush, vines and creepers, and
requires a skillful and experienced
woodsman to find them. He seeks the
highest ground in forest, climbs to
the top Of the tallest tree, and surveys
the surrounding country. The mahog.
any has a peculiar foliage, and his
practiced eye soon detects the trees
within sight.
The axmen follow the hunter, and
then come the Sawyers and hewers,
large mahogany taking two men full
day to fell It. The tree has large spurs
which project from the trunk at its
base, and scaffolds must be erected so
that the tree can be cut off above the
spurs. This leaves a stump ten to f.
teen feet high, which Is sheer waste, as
the stump really contains the best lum
Der.
The hunter has nothing to do With
the work of emitting or removing the
tree, his duty being simply to locate it.
II he 10 clever and energetic, his re
muneration MAY amount to $500 or
$1,000 a month; but he may travel
weeks at a time without detecting a
tree, and as he Is generally paid by re,
suits his earnings are rather precarl.
