Abstract:

Lumber is a big industry in North Carolina and there are lumber mills in practically every section of the state. Nowhere, however is this industry more spectacular that at Mount Celo, in the Black Mountain range, near Mount Mitchell. Logs race down a chute at the top of Mount Celo, and then are split into halves and quarters by large steel wedges.
