A machine which it is claimed
will be ef6cacious in recovering the
millions of feet of submerged logs
which lie at the bottom of every
river, lake and creek of the United
States, where extensive logging
operations have been carried on,
has been invented by James N.
Mum, of Chicago, and is said to be
in succeesful operation.
The importance of the invention
can be better understood when it is
explained that there are more feet
of logs under water in the United
States than there is standing tim:
Der. The extensive logging opera
tions of the last half century have
80 denuded the forests of their trees
that it has been estimated that in
the next twenty years the forests
will have been completely des.
troyed and lumber will be unob-
taina bic as a building material.
Just below Muskegon alone there
is said to be 100000 feet of sub.
merged logs which are easily re-
coverable, it one but possessed a
simple apparatus to do it.
The Menominee river aud tribu.
taries contain, it is estimated, sever.
al hundred million feet.
Mobile bay is said to be another
mine of untold wealth in the
amount of timber that has disap-
peared beneath the waters. In all
logging operations lumbermen es-
innate that full Z per cent of the
logs are lost by becoming water.
logged and sinking. No attempt is
ever made to recover them when
lumber is plenty. Logs are said to
lose nothing of their lasting quail
ties by being sunk, and it is said
even after they have been below the
water for years they can be dried
out and are as good as ever for
building materials.
| The appartus invented by Mr..
Mum consists of couple of small
timbers fastened at right angles
and at the bottom of them are a
couple of claws, whose function is
to engage the logs as they lie at the
bottom of the water.
The machine is made in such
manner that it will run lightly on
the bottom of rivers and lakes be-
ing regulated as to depth by an air
chamber. This chamber governs
both the equilibrium and the work.
ings, the machine being submerged
at the will of the operator by the in
PRODUCTION of greater or less
quantity of water, while the buoy
ancy of the air chamber holds the
machine in position.
When the movable clogs on the
main cable brings the front hook
down and into the log securing it
in the manner of ice tongs.
In case the graphing hooks en-
gage an immovable substance then
the smaller cable is used to dis
engage the machine.
The machine can be operated
from a moving launch, an anchored
barge, or stationary plant on
shore. Logs raised by a launch
are attached to floating log pre-.
pared with hooks or staples on
which to fasten one end of the
submerged log, and when filled to
its capacity the floating log is
towed ashore.
Two men can operate the ma.
chine succ essfully. The practicabili-
ty of this machine for raising sub
merged logs in deep water has been
proven by actual application and
demonstration. 1t is now being
operated at Washburn, Wis.
