(IP) A fortune awaits the inventor able to devise a cheap way to salvage millions of hardwood logs lying in the soft mud at the bottom of the Fox river. In early Wisconsin lumberlns days, the banks of the river were completely lined with large rafts of logs, witn barely enough, room for boats to pass. Thirty-six saw-miUs were kept busy cutting the timber. Hardwood logs in large numbers were lost when they slipped from the rafts and, water-soaked, sank. Because of their lesser buoyancy, the hardwood logs sank in greater numbers. The river bottom now Is com pletely "lined" with hardwood from the mouth of the river at Lake Winnebago to Lake Butte Des Morts, five miles away, a survey revealed. The cost of retrieving the logs is great, even with modern equipment. Lumber company officials have been seeking some device that , would raise the logs economically.; Several years ago a log that had: rested on the river bottom for more than 50 years was salvaged by the Paine Lumber company. It was ' so perfectly preserved, and of such fine quality, that the company im mediately began to salvage logs irom the eras oi its aocus in me river. Since operation first started, an average of 180 logs a day are re covered, more than enough to pay the coats of hiring a special crew..
