...original Mt. Olympus monument area almost in half so as to stimulate private prospecting for manganese ore. Some ores were found, but the real wealth of the Olympics is their mantle of giant fir, spruce, cedar and hemlock, their abounding game (trout, bear, cougar as well as elk), their scenery.
