The report of the House Committee on the Public Lands on this bill is as follows: [House Report No. 397, Sixty-second Congress, second session.] The Committee on the Public Lands, to whom was referred the bill (H. R. 12211) to amend the act of February 18, 1909 (35 Stat., p. 626), entitled "An act creating the Calaveras Bigtree National Forest, and for other purposes," having had the same under consid- eration, report it back with the unanimous recommendation that it do pass with the following amendments: Page 2, line 5, strike out the letter "a" and insert "the actual." Page 2, line 5, after the word "value," add the following words, viz, "in lands and stumpage." Page 2, line 6, after the word "lands," add the following words, viz, "and stumpage." Page 2, line 7, after the word "lands," change the period to a semicolon, and then strike out all after the word "lands," line 7, and all of lines 8, 9, 10, and the word "part" in line 11, same page. The bill, H. R. 12211, strikes out of the act of February 18, 1909 (35 Stat., p. 626), the following language: or all of three ways. They may be given the right to file with the Secretary of the Interior, within sixty days after any such conveyance, selections for an equal area of surveyed, unreserved, unappropriated, nonmineral lands, which, if found subject to such lieu selection, and of a value substantially equal to that of the amounts con- veyed, may be patented to said owners in lieu of the lands conveyed, and if any selection is rejected, other selections may be made under conditions applicable to the one rejected — And substitutes therefor the following, viz: one or both of the following ways: (1) That they may be given the right to file with the Secretary of the Interior, within sixty days after such conveyance, selections of surveyed, unappropriated nonmineral public lands or of nonmineral national forest lands, and if the lands so selected shall be found subject to selection and of a value substantially equal to that of the lands conveyed, they may be patented to said owners in lieu of the conveyed lands: Provided, however, That in any case [where any part of the lands selected is national forest land, the approval of the Secre- tary of Agriculture shall first be secured with respect to such part, or (2) — 2 CALAVERAS BIGTREE NATIONAL FOREST. The act of February 18, 1909 (35 U. S. Stat. L., pp. 626-627), is as follows : Chapter 143.— An act to create the Calaveras Bigtree National Forest, and for other purposes. (Page 626.) 1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United 2 States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of Agri- 3 culture, to secure and protect for all time the bigtrees scientifically 4 known as Sequoia washingtoniana, is hereby empowered, in his discre- 5 tion, to obtain for the United States the complete title to any or all 6 of the following-described lands in the State of California: In town- 7 ship four north, range fifteen east, Mount Diablo meridian, the north- 8 east quarter of section one; in township four north, range sixteen 9 east, Mount Diablo meridian, the north half of section six; in town- 10 ship five north, range fifteen east, Mount Diablo meridian, the south- 11 west quarter of section fourteen, south half of section fifteen, north ' 12 half of section twenty-two, northwest quarter of section twenty-three, 13 and southeast quarter of section thirty-six; and in township five north, 14 range sixteen east, Mount Diablo meridian, the west half of section 15 twenty-eight, the east half and southwest quarter of section twenty- 16 nine, the southeast quarter of section thirty, all of sections thirty- (Page 627.) 1 one, thirty-two, and the northwest quarter of section thirty-three. 2 And such area or areas, as fast as complete title is acquired, shall be 3 permanently held by the United States and shall be known as the 4 Calaveras Bigtree National Forest, and shall be administered and pro- 5 tected by the Secretary of Agriculture from the funds appropriated 6 for the administration of national forest land to prolong the exist- 7 ence, growth, and promote the reproduction of said bigtrees: Pro- 8 vided, That the owners of land acquired hereunder shall convey to 9 the United States full title to any of the above-described areas 10 approved for said national forest by the Secretary of Agriculture, 11 the completeness of such title to be determined by the Secretary of 12 the Interior in each case, and shall be reimbursed therefor only in any 13 or all of the three ways: They may be given the right to file with the Sec- 14 retary of the Interior, within sixty days after any such conveyance, 15 selections for an equal area of surveyed, unreserved, unappropriated, 16 nonmineral public lands which, if found subject to such lieu selection, 17 and of a value substantially equal to that of the amounts conveyed, 18 may be patented to said owners in lieu of the land conveyed; and if 19 any selection is rejected, other selections may be made under the condi- 20 tions applicable to the one rejected; or the Secretary of Agriculture 21 may grant to any such conveying owner the right to cut from national 22 forest land an amount of timber and wood substantially equal to the 23 amount of timber and wood on the land acquired by the United States 24 under the provisions of this act: Provided, That nothing contained 25 in this act snail warrant an appropriation from the Treasury to carry 26 out the terms of this act. 27 Approved, February 18, 1909. Under the act of February 18, 1909, there was no provision made that the selection of the land in exchange could be taken from any national forest, whereas the amendment provided for by the pro- visions of the bill H. R. 12211 is to permit the selections of "non- mineral national forest lands." The approval of the Secretary of Agriculture shall first be secured with respect to any of such lands before exchange can be made. It having been determined by the various departments that there is no one tract of land provided for under the act of February 18, 1909, from which selection could be made, as it permitted the selection to be made of "surveyed, unappro- priated, nonmineral public land" and excluded any selection of "non- mineral national forest land." The provisions of the proposed bill (H. K. 12211) make the act operative and put it in such shape that its provisions can be carried out by the Secretary of the Interior and the CALAVERAS BIGTEEE NATIONAL FOREST. 3 Secretary of Agriculture. The bill was referred to the Secretary of Agriculture, who has made favorable report thereon, which report is as follows: Department of Agriculture, Office of the Secretary, Washington, January 4, 1912. Hon. Joseph T. Robinson, Committee on the Public Lands, Bouse of Representatives. Dear Mr. Robinson: Your letter of December 19, inclosing a copy of the bill, H. R. 12211, to acquire the Calavaras bigtree grove, is received. The Calavaras big- tree (Sequoia washingtonia) of California are found in two groves. The larger one covers an area of 441.5 acres in sections 28 and 33, T. 5 N., R. 16 E., M. D. M., and the smaller grove of 49.5 acres is located about 6 miles distant in sections 14, 15, and 22, T. 5 N., R. 15 E., same meridian. All of the trees in these two groves are upon land held in private ownership. The greater part of them are owned by R. B. 'Whiteside. The groves were mapped and cruised during the field season of 1906 by a member of the Forest Service and the report was printed during the second session of the Fifty- ninth Congress (S. Rept. 6651). The act of February 18, 1907 (35 Stat., 626), contained a provision for exchange which was unsatisfactory to the present owners of the trees. Under it only unre- served Government lands might be exchanged for the tracts supporting the big- trees. There are not, however, to be found any unreserved lands of anywhere nearly equal value which would offer a fair exchange. In fact, there are few, if any, national forest lands having an equal acreage of the same value as the bigtree groves. Further- more, the act of 1907 contained no appropriation to pay for locating the areas to be offered in exchange. As it is now proposed to amend the act, both of these features will be provided for. Lands of equal value without limitation as to acreage may be offered and also the $10,000 to be appropriated will cover the cost of locating and cruising both the groves and the Government lands. If it is passed, I feel that the exchange can be effected in a manner fair to the owners and with ample protection to the Government's interests. I inclose a copy of my report on the bill (S. 8117) which became the act of Febru- ary 18, 1907. The reasons given at that time for acquiring the grove still exist, and I therefore recommend that the present bill be given favorable consideration by your committee. Very sincerely, yours, W. M. Hays, Acting Secretary. Department of Agriculture, Office of the Secretary, Washington, January 28, 1907. Dear Sir: In accordance with your request made to the Forest Service, I have the honor to report upon the propriety of S. 8117, for the creation of the Calaveras Bigtree National Forest. During the last field season the Forester caused a survey and complete examination to be made of the areas in California in which the bigtrees are located. I inclose maps and a report on the investigation, in which the location of the Calaveras big- tree groves, the ownership of the land especially desirable for a national forest to protect and prolong the life of the bigtrees, the number and size of the bigtrees and other species found with them, and a liberal estimate of the value of these groves have been set forth with care and detail. Unless the principal owner of these groves will not accept a reasonable offer, I believe it will be possible in one or all of the ways authorized by S. 8117 to procure the title to the desired area without a direct appropriation from Congress. The For- ester has received a definite suggestion from a citizen of California that it might be pos- sible to procure by private subscription money amounting to one-third of the neces- sary purchase price. If this can be brought about it ought to be possible, either under the lieu selection provision or the stumpage exchange authorization, or both, to make up the remaining two-thirds. I can not express too strongly my feeling that these great national wonders, famed throTighout the world, should become the property of the Nation and be protected from intentional or accidental destruction as far as possible. It has taken thousands of years to produce many of these trees, and if once they were destroyed no skill or expense could bring similar wonders of creation into existence within a time repre- sented by the known history of the world. Very truly, yours, James Wilson, Secretary. Hon. George C. Perkins, United States Senate. 4 CALAVERAS BIGTREE NATIONAL FOREST. The Secretary of the Interior made the following report on the bill: Department of the Interior, •" Washington, January 17, 1912. Hon. Joe T. Robinson, Chairman Committee on the Public Lands, House of Representatives. Sir: I am in receipt with your request for report thereon of copy of H. R. 12211, entitled "A bill to amend the act of February eighteenth, nineteen hundred and nine (Thirty-fifth Statutes at Large, page six hundred and twenty-six), entitled 'An act to create the Calaveras Bigtree National Forest, and for other purposes.' " The apparent purpose of the proposed amendment is to permit the selection of non- mineral lands within national forests in lieu of lands conveyed to the United States under the act of February 18, 1909, supra, in addition to the permission accorded by that act for the exchange of surveyed, unappropriated, nonmineral, public lands out- side of the national forests; also to make an appropriation for the purpose of carrying the provisions of the act into effect. The desirability of securing title to the privately owned lands in question contain- ing trees known as the Sequoia washingtoniana is apparent, and if it has not been and will not be possible to secure their exchange for an equal area of unreserved public lands, this department would favor the legislation permitting the exchange for lands within the boundaries of the national forests. As this department is without information as to the success or nonsuccess of the efforts of the Secretary of Agriculture to secure the exchange under the act of Feb- ruary 18, 1909, supra, it is suggested that the measure be referred to him for report in that particular. If it shall then appear not feasible to secure title to the private lands in question through the. preferred exchange for unreserved public lands, this department, as above indicated, would recommend the enactment of this measure to permit exchange for lands in forests, with the following additions or amendments to the bill: Line 3, page 2, insert at beginning of line the words "for an equal area"; same line, after the word "surveyed " insert the word "unreserved"; page 2, line 7, after the word "lands" insert "and if any selection is rejected other selections may be made under conditions applicable to the one rejected." Very respectfully, Samuel Adams, Acting Secretary. It will be noted that the bill requires an appropriation of $10,000 to carry out its provisions; this appropriation is also recommended by the Secretary of Agriculture. Without an appropriation it will be impossible for the departments to fully consummate the objects and purposes of the bill. The following extract from the report made by Senator Perkins on this subject, when the act of February 18, 1909, was under considera- tion, fully explains the purposes of the original act and the proposed amendment by bill (H. K. 12211): The purpose of this bill is to secure and protect for all time the bigtrees, scientifi- cally known as Sequoia washingtoniana, located in the State of California and which are national wonders, famed throughout the world. In view of the fact that it has taken thousands of years to produce many of these trees, and if they were once destroyed no skill or experience could be found to bring similar wonders into existence within a known period of history; it is strongly recommended that the bill for the creation of this national forest may be favorably received by the Senate. When the act of July 18, 1909, of which the bill H. R. 12211 seeks to amend, was under consideration, the recommendation of the Sec- retary of Agriculture was presented, as well as a history of the groves of bigtrees. The letter of the Secretary of Agriculture under date of January 28, 1907, together with the location and extent of the groves are more fully set forth in the attached correspondence, which is made a part hereof.

Very truly, yours, James Wilson, Secretary. Hon. George C. Perkins, United States Senate. Report on Calaveras Groves of Bigtrees, California. [By Fred. G. Plummer, civil engineer, Forest Service.] LOCATION. The larger of the Calaveras groves is known as South Grove, and is situated in sections 28 to 33, inclusive, in township 5 north, range 16 east, Mount Diablo meridian^ in Tuolumne County. It covers an irregular area of 441.5 acres along the narrow V-shaped valley of Bigtree Creek, which flows southwesterly into North Fork of Stanislaus River. This grove has also been called Stanislaus Grove. The North Grove covers portions of sections 14, 15, and 22, in township 5 north, range 15 east, Mount Diablo meridian, and has an area of 49.5 acres. It occupies the floor of a small basin drained by a tributary of San Antonio Creek, and which is part of Calaveras River watershed. The groves are only about 6 miles apart, but are geographically separated by a secondary divide from Sierra Nevada and by the canyon of North Fork of Stanislaus River, which is about 1,000 feet deep. North Grove is made easily accessible by a graded wagon road from Angels Camp (22 miles) and from Sonora (38 miles), but from this point the journey to South Grove is made by a trail, steep but safe. nature of the report. The purpose of the survey, the locating of the bigtrees, the estimating of the stand of all species, and the subsequent inquiry were to determine the value of the forests. The contemplated purchase of the bigtree groves necessarily includes outlying areas of mixed forests over sufficient territory to guarantee their protection and proper administration if they are to be held by the Federal or State government. Mr. Robert Whiteside owns nearly all of the bigtrees in both groves. All of the bigtrees were located and measured, and the mixed forests on Mr. Whil^side's land were surveyed and estimated. In this report the stand and value of all species will be shown segregated, and the results will give the value of lands owned by Mr. White- side, the value of additional lands which should be acquired, and also the value of lands 6 CALAVERAS BIGTREE NATIONAL FOREST. owned by Mr. Whiteside near South Grove, which are not essential for the protection of the groves. The appraisement is liberal. The stumpage values were fixed after careful inquiry, correspondence, and consultation of county records of sales. No deduction was made on the fact that the timber is now quite inaccessible, although this would be considered by a dealer in timberland. Nor was any percentage subtracted from the bigtree estimates for the enormous waste— 20 or 25 per cent — which would surely attend any logging operations. Deductions were made for all visible defects, but beyond this all boles were assumed to be sound, although this may not always be the case. The bigtree "Pioneer Cabin" is tunneled for a carriageway, and a serious defect is exposed in the heart of the tree, which might not have been suspected from the outside appearance. The estimate of the timber contained in the groves is therefore believed to be somewhat in excess of what they would actually saw out; and the stumpage values assigned to the various species are believed to be somewhat larger than would be offered by a private person buying the groves as a business venture. THE FOREST. Although the areas under consideration are small, and the topography is not very bold, there are three types of cover, or zones, which are easily distinguished: 1. Bigtrees (Sequoia washingtoniana) are a valley type, with an altitudinal range from 4,G75 to 5,350 feet. They are scattered through a mixed forest of sugar pine (Pinus lambertiana), white fir (Abies concolor), and incense cedar (Libocedrus decurrens). 2. Sugar pine and white fir dominate on the benches and lower slopes. 3. Yellow pine (Pinus ponderosa) is found along the dry summits and ridges. Stray individuals of all species were found in all zones. Even a few isolated big- trees were located on a ridge over the divide from the South Grove. Three red firs (Bseudotsuga taxifolia) were seen isolated from a higher zone, where they are more common. Black oaks are found in small groups, and alders follow the watercourses. They are commercially unimportant. REPRODUCTION. Generally the conifers reproduce rapidly, and in many places the thickets of young trees are almost impenetrable. Seedling bigtrees are numerous in South Grove, but only in spots where soil and light are favorable. UNDERGROWTH. In the valleys and on the lower slopes the principal undergrowth is composed of the young conifers, but on summits and ridges, where yellow pine is found in its typical open stand, there is considerable ceanothus and arctostaphylos. A recent ground fire spread over the northwest portion of section 30, near South Grove. Although no material damage was done to the merchantable timber, the seedlings and saplings were practically destroyed, and the natural restocking has suffered a setback. During the life of the present mixed forest there has been no widespread conflagration or destruction of the overshading cover. Numerous fires have swept through undergrowth and ground cover, charring the butts of trees and causing deep fire 6cars where pitch or balsam rendered the boles inflammable. Although the bigtrees resist fire wonderfully, these repeated burnings have made many of them unsightly and have decreased their volume of merchantable lumber. METHOD OF SURVEY. The survey of South Grove comprised four propositions: 1. Random lines were run to connect all section and quarter-section corners, checking upon witness trees, and determining the true locations of the area under consideration according to Government survey. In the original field notes the mag- netic variation was stated as 16^°, but was found to average 17^°. 2. A meander line was run along the boundary of the bigtree grove, including all of the bigtrees excepting six isolated individuals which are located in the vicinity of the quarter-section corner between sections 30 and 31. CALAVERAS BIGTEEE NATIONAL FOREST. Y 3. Parallel lines were run north and south, 10 chains apart, for strip measurements on the mixed forests. 4. Base lines were run lengthwise through the bigtree grove, with stations located at each 330 feet difference of longitude. From these stations ordinates were run north and south, 330 feet apart, to the boundaries of the grove. As each ordinate was run, all the bigtrees within 165 feet of the line were measured and tagged to prevent omissions or repetitions. SCALING. In each strip measured, excepting the half strips on the boundaries, all of the trees of the mixed forest over 15 inches in diameter, excepting sequoias, were calipered to a distance of 66 feet each side of the line, and all the smaller within these limits were counted. The result was an accurate estimate of 20 per cent of the entire stand. For convenience, the strips were lettered from west to east, A, B, C, etc. (omitting I), and numbered from north to south, 1 to 17, inclusive. The diameters of trees were calipered 3 feet above the surface of the ground, and volume tables were prepared for each species on this basis. In estimating the stand in the mixed forests it was found that the amount of mer- chantable dead stuff was inconsiderable — a small fraction of 1 per cent — and was ignored. Each bigtree was measured and its volume computed separately. In each case the factors obtained were: The inside diameter at the surface of the ground, the height of stump, the inside diameter at the stump height, the height of merchantable bole, and the total height of the tree. From these data a diagram was prepared and the merchantable part of each tree was divided into 12-foot logs, and the number of board feet for each log was taken from Spaulding's Table, which has been legalized in California for the scaling of timber. This table gives the number of board feet in logs only up to 144 inches in diameter. Logs larger than this were assumed to contain four times the volume of a log of half the diameter, on the theorem that the volume of logs increase as the squares of their diameters. Thus, a 200-inch log would have four times the volume of a log 100 inches in diameter. Any practical excess in merchantable length was included in the top log, which might, therefore, be 14, 16, 18, or 20 feet long. At North Grove the same methods were used, excepting that 13.5 per cent of the mixed forest was measured instead of 20 per cent, as at South Grove. North Grove was examined in December, 1905, in deep snow, and the use of snowshoes was im- practicable. For proper estimating 10 per cent is considered accurate. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. The largest fallen tree in South Grove is "Old Goliath," which has a gross volume of 127,892 board feet. The largest at North Grove is "Father of the Forest," and through its hollow trunk one may ride horseback. The largest standing tree in South Grove is "Louis Agassiz," which before being hollowed by fires probably had a gross volume of 124,163 board feet. In North Grove the "Mother of the Forest" probably had a gross volume of 140,619 board feet. It is dead, but standing. The taper of the bigtrees varies from 3 to 12 inches for a 12-foot log, and will average between 6 and 7 inches. The maximum thickness of bark is 24 inches. On all of the bigtrees the bark is deeply fissured, and at the butts is fluted. In estimating the inside diameters the deduction for bark is necessarily computed from the calipering of average outside diameters or such measured circumference as results from stretching a tape around the tree. In the latter case the tape describes a series of tangents. Under these methods the thickness of bark will average one-twelfth of the outside diameter. 8 CALAVERAS BIGTREE NATIONAL FOREST.
