Hard Cuban Wood 



Mr. Frank B. Hall has been logging in 

 Cuba in the neighborhood of Camaguey for 

 the last twelve years. While in New York 

 a few weeks ago, he spoke to a Nexv York 

 Times representative regarding his labors 

 in the island as follows : 



"Nobody who has not visited the interior 

 of Cuba knows the value and extent of the 

 timberland there. My business is to cut 

 down the timber and deliver it to the saw- 

 mills. At present I have about 100 natives 

 working for me. 



"The conditions are different down there 



from logging in the North. Cuba has few 

 interior rivers, and none of them are deep 

 enough to log with except in the rainy sea- 

 son. So we have got to wait for a freshet 

 before sending our logs down to the mills. 

 "We've got a wood down there that beats 

 anything in the North, and the Cuban rail- 

 roads use this wood exclusively now for 

 ties. It is called jikewood and it never 

 rots. I've dug out posts of this wood 

 which have been planted for 200 years, and 

 there was not a sign of decay on them. 

 The wood is full of oil. Plant a 35-inch 

 post now and dig it up 100 years from now 

 and it will still measure the same."
