AREA Of G|LA NATIONAL
FOREST CHANGED
Presidential Proclamation has
Been Issued to Cover
The Elimination Will Exceed the Addition
by More Than 200, 900 Acres

The President has signed a pro-
clamation adding to the ella
National Forest q 1881 acres, and
eliminating (but not until March
!, 19lD 22S, 156 acres. The ad.
ditions occur in small isolated
tracts at various points along the
east and sout beast boundaries of
the Forest. They cover steep,
rocky slopes intersected by can.
yons and for the most part drain
ed by the M;mbres River, and
protection of the forest cover will
have considerable effect upon the
watersheds of this river. A few
sections just east of Georgetown
contain some yellow pine in
Shingle Canyon, with pinon and
juniper throughout, notwith-
standing that a good deal of the
tract has been cut over. A small
addition is located on the MINI
bres; another on the summit of
the Black Range at the southeast
corner of the Forest, including
two sections along the east line.
These areas contain some pretty
good stands of yellow pine, in
termixed with considerab BILE cedar
and oak. The pine is estimated
at 100000 board feet, while
the woodland runs from 5 to Is
cords per acre.
The 22S,15 acres eliminated
are for most part in the south
western portion of the Forest, and
include the rolling plains country
Known as the Cactus Flats and
also a tract on the west side of
Bear Mountain. The Cactus
Flats region was originally made
a part of the Forest because it
occupies q portion of the divide
between the Frisco and the Gila
Rivers. 1t is believed, however,
that the heads of both these
streams are sufficiently protect
ed without this area, which is
mostly devoid of forest growth
and has co little fall in the drain
age channels that no serious ero-
sion need be feared. There is
some little oak and cedar along
the main canyons and on some of
the hills, but the tracts are too
widely scattered to warrant their
retention within the Forest.
1t was agreed between the
Secretary of Agriculture and the
Secretary of the Interior that the
eliminations should not be effec-
tive until March l, 1911, because
OF the great expense to which
many of the settlers have gone in
connection with the construction
OF drift fences and other range
improvements, and in order to
give them an opportunity to
readjust their business to meet
the new conditions. The procla-
nation signed by the President
provides for this course of proce-
dure. Since the lands are graz
ing rather than agricultural in
character, no hardship will be
caused by this delay. The land
will not be open to settlement or
entry until such time after March
l, 1911, as shall be determined
by the Secretary of the Interior.
Due notice of the time will be
given by publication in the local
papers.
