The Ginn,Tree. OF California

Andrew Caldwell, the special agent Of
the general land office appointed to make an
investigation as to the location, condition,
number etc Of giant lSequoia ggmiioD
trees in the Stockton and Nisaia land dis
tricts in California has made his report to
the commissioner of the general land office.
These trees, the special agent says, grow
in detached clusters on the top or sides Of
the Sierra Nevada mountain range in the
districts named, and always at an elevation
of from 5000 to 700 feet. Access to them
is, as a rule, very difficult on account Of
the extreme roughness of the mountain
passes and canons The Mariposa grove,
in the Stockton land district, is the largest
in that vicinity. 1t contains about 800
trees of all sizes, and seems to be properly
guarded from forest fires by the stage com
pauy, which has the monopoly Of carrying
tourists through that section to the Yose-
mite Valley
The Tuolumne and MERGED groves contain
Is and 40 trees respectively. These groves
are in danger of mountain fires carelessly
set by sheep herders. The Fresno grove at
one time contained between $50 and 400
trees. Some years ago the MADEIRA flume
and trading company, the report says,
erected a sawmill, into whose NAV the
giant sequoias are rapidly disappearing, and
now only about 100 remain. They are To-
Gated on patented land and are under the
control of the MADEIRA company. The larg
est trees, however, have been spared, be
cause they cannot be protitably handled,
! In the Nisalia district there is one small
and one large grove of giant trees. The
latter is virgin forest and contains over
| 1900 giant sequoias and many more small
/ trees. Some five years ago a cooperative
| colony located about 40 entries in this
neighborhood and are constructing a road
| to this timber belt The colony, it is as
serted, number 600 members and have re
Gently engrafted the Bellamy idea as their
leading attraction. There is danger, the
agent believes, that these people, if unmo-
Tested, will soon destroy this most wonder
/ full and perfect body Of Se4uOid giguifid in
| the world.
In table giving the number and size of
/ the trees in the groves visited, only those
| IS feet in circumference and more, meas
ured three feet from the ground. are class
I ed as giants OF these, 2615 were found.
/ Forty-four are over 80 feet in circumfer-
ence, and several are more than 100. One
/ is lO6 feet in circumference, or a little
more than 30 feet in diameter Secretary
/ Noble has requested the secretary of war
to station a company of cavalry in the Sc
/ quota National Park, and another in the
/ Yosemite Park, TO prevent depredations on
the mammoth tree groves. 1t is stated
that the so-called Bellamy colonists who
/ have in part perfected title to land on which
these trees stand have expressed purpose
/ to hold their claims in spite of opposition.
