they came at length to little amphi-

feet I'm diameter, oval-shaped and
surrounded by a wall of redw00ds Of
such dimensions that even McTayish,
who was no stranger to these natural

thousands Of acres of virgin timber
that had already attained a vigorous
growth when Christ was crueifed.
In sizes ranging from five to twenty
feet in diameter, the brown, trunks
rise perpendicuIarIy to a height of
from ninety to a hundred and fifty
feet before putting forth a single
limb. which frequently is more mas
siye than the growth which men call
a tree I'm the forests of Michigan.
Scattered between the giants, like
subjects around their king, one finds
noble fir, spruce, or pines, with some
Valparaiso live oak. black oak. pepper
wood, madrone, yew, and cedar.
John Cardigan settled in Humboldt
county, where the sequoia sempervir-
ems attains the pinnacle Of its glory,
and with the lust for conquest hot in
his blood he filed upon a quarter
section of the timber almost on the
shore Of Humboldt bay-land upon
which city subsequently was to be
built. With his doubIe-bltted axe and
crosscut saw John Cardigan brought
the first of the redwood giants crash
ii.s to the earth above which it had
lowered for twenty centuries. and in
the form or split posts, railroad ties.
pickets. and shakes. the fallen giant
was hauled to tidewater in oX-drawn
wagons and shipped to San Francisco
in the little two-masted coasting
schooners of the period. Here, by the
abominable magic of barter and trade.
the dismembered tree was transmitted
into dollars and cents and returned
to Humboldt county to assist John
Cardigan IN his task Of hewing an
empire out of a wilderness.
Time passed. John Cardigan no
longer swung an axe or dragged a
cross-cut saw through a fallen red
wood. He was an employer of labor
now, well known I'm San francisco as
q manufactures of split-redwoOd prod
ucts, the purchasers sending their
own schooners for the cargo. And
presently John Cardigan mortgaged
all Of his timber holdings with a San
Francisco bank. made a heap Of his
winnings. and Ike a true adventurer
s@aked his all on d new venture-the
first sawmil in Humboldt county.
The timbers for IT were hewed out by
hand: the boards ana pianks were
whipSawed.
II was a tiny mill. judged by present
dav standards. for in fOurteen-hour
working day John Cardigan and his
men could not cut more than twenty
Thousand feet Of lumber. Neverthe-
less. when Cardigan looked at his mill
his great heart would swell with
prize
