FLOATING AND RAFTING 393 



are often raised by workmen who use pike poles and operate from 

 boats. The logs are towed to land, where they are stored until 

 thoroughly dry, when they are again put in the stream and 

 rapidly driven to their destination. 



A hoisting engine with suitable booms and grapples, mounted 

 on a fiat boat, has also been used. The logs were frequently 

 rafted and kept afloat by steel tubular buoys ^2 feet long by 18 

 inches in diameter which were scattered throughout the raft. 

 Occasionally deadheads were attached to rafts of floating timber 

 and thus buoyed up until they reached the mill. 



White pine deadheads have been sold for as much as $5 per 

 thousand as they he in the stream, although the average price 

 is approximately $4 per thousand feet, log scale.
