(i) U. S. Geological Survey. 



(2) Maine logging camp. 



The cost of feeding men in logging camps usually ranges from 

 45 to 65 cents per day. 



Commissary supplies and animal feed are usually hauled into 

 northern camps during the late fall and early winter on tote sleds. 

 Where good roads are available, supplies are occasionally 

 wagoned in during the summer. A two-horse team will haul 

 about 1500 pounds of suppUes daily for a distance of twenty 

 miles on a sled, while a team of four horses will seldom haul 

 more than 1000 pounds on a wagon. The toting charge ranges 

 from 15 to 60 cents per 100 pounds. SuppHes for railroad camps 

 are brought in as needed.
