~Staged by travelling road companies. Much of the timber cut away as Winuipeg, Canada. for home and business construction, burned over much of the remaining forest. With a few exceptions. Ill the early 1900's there was little attempt at re-planting and
of huge white pine and was shipped as far Following the logging, which fairly well levelled the area. fires the forest now growing in the Ely area consists of second growth, use of modern forest management methods.
e booms of logs at the Fall Lake dock! (in 1973
ginal pilings which supported this rail dock at the Fall Lake
the Four-Mile can still be seen.) We went ashore and
the crews winch the Russells off the "Nellie J.'s" barge
to the track. Then off to Basswood through four of the
miles in the North Here. at least, there are still some
pine trees• We rode behind the "'tender" and
feed the split wood into the fire box of the engine -
place to travel, but we didn't mind. (The ties of this
line a'ere never all removed: the road which exists in
right over most of them ~ )
Hoist the railroad crew shunted the two supply cars off
|huge barge and then we got on the same barge and had to sit
grubby barrels for the trip up Basswood. A pretty little
called the "J.D. Mt Fadden" pulled us up to the company
P where we ate Sunday dinner with the logging crew. CWhen
Croix operation on Basswood ceased, the "J.I)." was
turned about 490 yards southeast of the present dock
At low water. ! art o: its engine is visible.
came back to the Hoist on the St. Croix latinch, the "Portia",
to see where some places have been completely logged off.
,w at the Hoist There is a bunkhouse
and all conveniences for the men. You can imagine the
us all day - very tiring, but certainly worth the 75 cents
p and the meal!
All love,
Mae
