Ca.se /. — The cost includes the clearing of site, yarding of the material, excavating for brow skids, etc., 

 preparing and raising gin poles, sv/inging loading rigging on poles, digging settings for yarding and loading 

 engines, as -weU as building the landing proper. The common labor in this case, as well as in the other two, 

 did the pick-and-shovel work and such swamping as could be done by hand. 



Case 2. — The cost includes the same items of expense as the previous case, except that it does not include 

 the cost of preparing and raising the gin pole and the swinging of the loading rigging. 



Case 3. — "With the exception of the water system, this case includes the same items of expense as Case 2. 



Generally speaking, the same equipment is used in building land- 

 ings as in yarding, viz., a steam yarding engine, lines, blocks, 

 chokers, etc. 



One company has used a gasoline logging engine successfully for 

 two years in building- landings. It resembles the steam logging en- 

 gine in a general way, and is a 40-horsepower two-cylinder, opposed 

 type of engine. The combination of gears, drum, and frictions 

 , yields a high tractive efficiency, and gives, it is claimed, an engine 

 that is capable of withstanding hard service. The drums and gears 

 are erected on a built-up steel frame. The engine and 200-gallon 

 water tank are independent of the drum mechanism, and are bolted 

 securely to the sled. The power is transmitted by a No. 78 Griplock 

 steel chain drive about 8 feet long, running from a 12-inch sprocket 

 on the engine to an 18-inch sprocket on the countershaft, tha latter 

 being fitted with a 9-inch pinion. The engine has three drums, the 

 frictions being such as to require very little pressure to hold the 

 heaviest strain. It weighs about 7 tons, and is mounted on a sled 

 32 feet long and 4^ feet wide. A compressed-air tank, charged from 

 the cylinders, furnishes about 50 pounds pressure for the operation 

 of the signal whistle. The main drum carries 1,500 feet of |-inch 

 line ; the trip drum, 3,000 feet of ^-inch line ; the loading drum, 300 

 feet of |-inch line. The main yarding line can be made to travel 

 500 feet per minute ; the trip line, 800 feet per minute. The cost of 

 fuel has been approximated at $2.70 per 10-hour day, consisting of
