  1. A happy crew is a productive crew.

    "L.T. Murray moved the operations of his West Fork Logging Company to Mineral in 1927. He bought out the Mineral Lake Lumber Company at that time and set about creating a model permanent logging camp. He remodeled old buildings and built new ones and established lawns and flower beds and a yearly painting schedule. He provided steam heated railroad cars to take his crews to and from the logging sites and had a hot lunch taken out to the crews each day. St. Regis Paper Company bought out the West Fork Logging Company's operation in Mineral in 1943."
