VEAL TIL UNDER RIVER.
PLAN TO RECLAIM LOGS SUNK IN
THE MISSISSIPPI.
Search Will Extend Over ESQ Miles OF

Millions of Feet Of valua-
BILE Lumber.

Minneapolis, M1nn.--LOgSlnS opera
lions in Minnesota have now advanced
to the point where not only the dead
and down timber is utilized to the ut
most, but steps are now being taken
for the reclamation of the 'deadheads"
or sunken logs at the bottom of the
Mississippi river. Fabulous wealth.
represented by the untold number OF
logs that have been accommodating
along the river for decades, awaits the
men who reclaim 1t from the depths.
1t is believed that the river bottom
is literally paved with logs from St.
Anthony's falls almost to Its source.
For the last 40 years from 500,000,000
to 900, 100000 feet Of logs have been
foated down the river, and the NUM-
Der that have gone to the bottom is
beyond estimating. For more than 250
miles the bottom Of the river is lined
with logs.
It has been demonstrated that logs
may be raised with great profit. Wal
lace A. Burt and others have been
contemplating for some time the adj
visibility of hosting these logs. and
with that object in view have laid
their plans before number of the
leading lumbermen. The plan Is to
raise the logs by hosting
plan is to raise the logs by hosting
engines and land them ashore, where
a government official will scale and
record the marks on them. When the
original owner can be found he will be
compensated for the logs at the rate
OF eight dollars per 1000 feet. This
represents just so much velvet" te
the owners, and still leaves margin
of profit to the holsters, who can find
ready market for the reclaimed logs
at from $12 to $14 per 1000 feet.
The logs that became deadheads OF
"sinkers" are chiefly of the small Nor
way pine variety, known to lumber
men as pig iron" Norway. The sci

It is generally believed that q hol

erroneous impression, for a grea
