PETRIFIED TREES IN ARIZONA.
Sometimes trees which have reached Il
mature age are disposed of, but no
profits are made.
Directly under Superintendent Bun
tain are six supervisors, one for each
reservation. Under these supervisors
are 43 forest rangers. They are APP
pointed from Washington and are en-
ployed from July 10 to Oct. II of each
year. They receive $50 a month, and
their duties are to patrol the rescrva-
tiOns as police or inspectors. A strong
physical constitution and Il knowledge
of outdoor life are the qualifications for
these positions.
The forest ranger leads strenuous
life. He must live in the forest and
camp alone most of the time. His
greatest trial is forest fire, and when
one does occur an exciting time fol-
lows. If much hcadway has been made
and the ranger cannot unaidc0 prevent
the spread of the flames, the supcrn-
tendCnt must be notified, and assist
ance will be sent. There are eight or
nine fires annually in the San Francis

a number of settlers located in the
reservations before they were formed.
and these people cannot now be ousted.
Part of the time of the ranger is spent
in cutting roads for the convenience of
these settlers. This operation involves
Telling large trees, pulling away under
brush and constructing bridges. This
work is extremely hazardous at times,
and the ranger takes great risks.
When in the forest, a ranger looks
like an ordinary woodSman. His outfit
consists of rake, Il pick, an AK, Il
shovel and fire buckets. 4 gun and Il
knife and plenty of ammunition are al
so carried Some of these men are
picturesque characters Old Indian
fighters, rough riders ana many men
of proved courage are among the
roamers of the forests. One fought
under General Crook against the
ApacheS. Another is survivor of
the famous Mountain Meadow masSa-
ere.
Superintendent Buntain and his i'm
mediate predecessor, Hon. J. ID. Bcnc-
dict, at the present time head of the
Indian school at Muscogcc |. r., have
recommended that the petrilied forests
of Arizona be purchased and made in
to national park. This action would
prevent tourists and mineral and curl
