GLACIER NATIONAL. PARK. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. The Glacier National Park was created by the act of Congress ap- proved May 11, 1910 (36 Stat., 354). It is located in northwestern Montana and embraces over 1,400 square miles of the Rocky Moun- tains, extending north from the main line of the Great Northern Railway to the Canadian border. It has an area of approximately 915,000 acres, of which 15,000 acres have been surveyed. The park is bounded on the north by the Canadian line, on the east by the Black- feet Indian Reservation, on the west by the north fork of the Flat- head River, and on the south by the Great Northern Railway's main transcontinental line. The extreme length of the park, north and south and east and west, is 50 to 60 miles. There are more than 60 glaciers in an area of about 5 square miles. Maj. William R. Logan, special inspector in charge of the construction of roads and trails, is the acting superintendent of the park. His address is Belton, Mont. The park can be reached via the Great Northern Railway. The tourist season extends from May 1 to about September 15. Glacier National Park possesses many attractions for both scientist and tourist. In its confines are upward of 60 glaciers and a number of snow-capped mountain peaks, rising to a height of from 7,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level. The principal glaciers in the park are Blackfoot, Harrison, Pumpelly, Red Eagle, Sperry, and Chaney. Most of these will be accessible to the tourist by road and trail. These enduring masses of ice spill their chill waters over hundreds of cataracts, and down rollicking mountain streams, where trout abound, into clear, cold lakes that lie long and ribbonlike in the forested valleys. Lake McDonald is one of the most beautiful lakes in the North- west. It is about 3,150 feet above sea level, 12 miles long, being reached in about one hour from Belton Station by stage, the distance being about 3 miles. It is surrounded by mountains, and numerous trails lead away from it to the glaciers, lakes, and surrounding moun- tains. The air about Lake McDonald is remarkably pure and clear, and the fragrance of fir, pine, and cedar produces a refreshing and invigorating atmosphere. Iceberg Lake is a small sheet of water about 16 miles north of Lake McDonald. It is so named because the great floes of glacial ice are to be seen on its surface in midsummer. (3) Avalanche Basin, a remarkable U-shaped valley, about 12 miles uorth of Lake McDonald, is one of the moil attractive and impressing features <>f the park. Nestling in the valley below the basin lies Avalanche Lake into which dash the cascades and cataracts that have their source in the glaciers above and rush down the ragged walls of the basin for over 2,400 feet. The St Mm i \ Lakes lie <>n the eastern slope of the park, northwest of Mid\alr. The upper St. Man Lake is 11 miles Long, the lower lake 7 miles long. The area surrounding a portion oi the lake is heavily forested, while in other Bections the mountains rise sheer from i be w ater's edge. ROUTES AND ACCOMMODATIONS. The Glacier National Park is easily accessible via the Great North- ern Railway, the only line which touch.'- it- border. The main line of the Great Northern forms the southern boundary of the park. Midvale, Mont., located 1,119 miles from St. Paul, is the gateway to that portion of the park lying east of the transcontinental divide. Wagon roads and trails wend through the foothills past the Two Medicine Lakes, a beautiful, rolling, and semimountainous section, to lower St Mary Lake. The western portion of the park is accessible via Belton and is 1.1 77 miles west of St. Paul. There are several resorts OH this lake ;it which ace .mmodat ions can be had at from $2 t<> $3 per day. In addition to the hotels proper there are a number of small loir-cabin cottages that can be rented by the week, either furnished or mi furnished if desired. The stage fare from Belton to the foot of the lake is 50 cents way and 50 cents for each piece of baggage. The steamer fare across the lake ie 7.'. cents, or $1.25 for the round trip. From the upper end of Lake McDonald interesting side trips may be made to different scenic portions of the park. Short trips can be made to Avalanche Basin, Sperry Glacier, Glacier Camp, and to several small lakes, where good fishing can be had. More extended trips, requiring from two days to one or two week-, can be made to the north portion of the park, taking in such feature- as Granite Park, < Ihaney ( rlacier, and Iceberg Lake. From Lake McDonald a trail also wind- over the summit of the mountain- across Gunsighi Pass and down to the head of St. Man- Lake-, on the east side of the transcontinental divide. For these longer trips complete camping outfits are required, and the only method of transportation .it present is the use of -addle horses and pack train-. ACT APPROVED MAY 11. 1910, TO ESTABLISH "THE GLACIER NATIONAL PARK " IN THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS SOUTH OF THE INTERNATIONAL BOUNDARY LINE. IN THE STATE OF MONTANA. AND FOR OTHER PURPOSES. /:, U enacted by th> SenaU iim/ / t Representatives of the Ited States of America in Congress assembled.

Approved, May 11, 1910. EULES AND REGULATIONS OF THE GLACIEB NATIONAL PARK. MONTANA. GEN KRAI. BBGULATTON8 of DQBGDBMBSB B, 1910. The following rules and regulations for the government of the Glacier National Park are hereby established and made public, pur- suant to authority conferred bv the ad of Congress approved May 11, 1010: 1. It is forbidden to injure or disturb in any manner any of the mineral deposits, natural curiosities, or wonders on the Government lands within the park. 2. It is forbidden to cut. without a permit from the Secretary of the Interior or his authorized representative, any timber growing on the park lands; it is also forbidden to injure any growing timber or deface or injure any Government property. Camping parties will be allowed to use dead or fallen timber for fuel When celling tim- ber, stumps must uot l>e left higher than 12 inches from the ground. Fire should be Lighted only when necessary and completely extin- guished when not longer required. The utmost care must be exer- cised nt all times to avoid setting fire to the timber and L r i 4. limiting or killing, wounding or capturing any bird or wild animal on the park lands, except dangerous animals when necessary to prevent them from destroying life or inflicting an injury, is pro- hibited. The outfits, including guns, trap-, teams, horses, or means of transportation used by persons engage.! in hunting, killing, trap- ping, ensnaring, or capturing such birds or wild animal-, or in poe sion of game killed on the park lands under other circumstances than prescribed above, will be taken np by the superintendent and held subject P> the order of the Secretary of the Interior, except in c where it is shown by satisfactory evidence that the outfit is not the property of the person or persons violating this regulation and the actual owner thereof was not a party to Such violation. Firearms will only be permitted in the park on written permission from the superintendent thereof. On arrival at the first station of the park guard, parties having firearms, trap-, nets, -cine-, or explosives will turn tnera over to the officer in charge of the station, taking his receipt for them. They will be ret urned to the owners on leaving the park. 5. Fishing with net-, seines, traps. <>i by the use of drugs <>r ex- plosives, or in any other way than with hook and line, is prohibited.

No lessee or licensee shall retain in his employ any person whose presence in the park shall be deemed and declared by the superin- tendent to be subversive of the good order and management of the reservation. 13. The superintendent designated by the Secretary is hereby authorized and directed to remove all trespassers from the Govern- ment lands in the park and enforce these rules and regulations and all the provisions of the act of Congress aforesaid. REGULATIONS OF DECEMBER 3, 1910, GOVERNING THE IMPOUNDING AND DISPOSITION OF LOOSE LIVE STOCK FOUND IN THE GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, MONT. Horses, cattle, or other domestic live stock running at large or being herded or grazed in the Glacier National Park without authority from the Secretary of the Interior, will be taken up and impounded by the superintendent, who will at once give notice thereof to the owner, if known. If the owner is not known, notices of such im- pounding, giving a description of the animal or animals, with the brands thereon, will be posted in six public places inside the park and in two public places outside the park. Any owner of an animal thus impounded may, at any time before the sale thereof, reclaim the same upon proving ownership and paying the cost of notice and all ex- penses incident to the taking up and detention of such animal, includ- ing the cost of feeding and caring for the same. If any animal thus impounded shall not be reclaimed within 30 days from notice to the owner or from the date of posting notices, it shall be sold at public auction at such time and place as may be fixed by the superintendent after 10 days' notice, to be given by posting notices in six public places in the park and two public places outside the park, and by mailing to the owner, if known, a copy thereof. All money n wed from tin- Beie of such animals and remaining after the payment of all expenses incident to the taking up. impound* ing. and selling thereof, .-hall be carefully retained by the superin- tendent in a separate fund for a period 01 six months, during which tine tin- net proceeds Cram the -air of any animal may In- claimed by and paid to the owner upon the presentation of satisfactory proof of ownership, and if not so claimed within six months from the date ^f sale soeh proceeds -hall he tuned into the Glacier National Park fund. The superintendent -hall keep a record in which -hall be set down a description of all animal- impounded, giving the brands found on them, the date and locality of the taking up. the date of all not and manner in which they were given, the date of sale, the name and address <>f the purchaser, the amount for which each animal was -old and the cost incurred in connection therewith, and the disposition of the proceeds. The -uperintendent will, in each instance, make every reasonable effort to ascertain the owner of animals impounded and to give actual notice thereof to such owner. DESCRIPTION of in i; AREA Of THE PROPOSED GLACIER NATIONAL PARK, I'.y 11. H. < 11 mm vn. The area of the northern Rocky Mountains which lie- to the north of the Great Northern Railway and to the south of the Canadian boundary is one of the most beautiful mountain regions in the world. To the east of the mountains the plains region, drained by the Mi- sonri and Saskatchewan River systems, stretches mile upon mile of open grass land, practically treeless. In sharp contrast to the plains rise the mountains, which, seen from the distance, present a rock wall of great steepness, extending appar- ently unbroken for mile-. This, the eastern face of the range, is actually cut by long, deep, U-shaped canyons, which have been Largely formed by the great glaciers which once flowed from the mighty snow-covered peaks and ridges forming the divide between the waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceana In the canyons are roaring streams, which head in the melting ice and snow, flow into placid lakes and eventually into the arroyos of the plain-. Between the canyons the long finger-like ridges rise to iderable heights, the timber-covered foot sloping steeply until a region of brush-covered broken rock is reached, which in turn leads to the base of precipitous cliffs. The canyons at the head usually terminate in great amphitheaters, rising cliff oxer cliff in a stairway <>f tremendous proportion-, many steps of which retain an ice mass -lowlv flowing aero-- it. each fed from a large ice field above, until a region of huge -now bank! reached. The main Rocky. Mountain mass i> actually made up of two principal ranges, generally parallel, with axis in a northwesterly and southeasterly direction, the easternmost of which i- the Lewi- Range, which extend- but a short distance across the Canadian bound- ary. The western) or Livingston, range persists much farther north-* Ward. At a point about 11 miles south of Canada it becomes the watershed of the Continental Divide, which ha- previously followed the ridge of the Livingston Range. These ranges are the remnants of what was once a much wider plateau like region of rock which has been carved and shattered by the forces of erosion, principally those of the glaciers. Upon this great mass are the higher peaks, huge pyramids and blocks, with cliffs and precipices hundreds and sometimes thousands of feet, plunging away to the roaring streams of the valleys or ending in the great crevasse at the head of some glacier. To the westward the mountains break precipitously, and from the foot of the steep, long, timber-covered ridges reach out toward the valley of the Flathead River. Between these ridges and extending up the canyons of the higher range are many miles of lakes, joined by rushing streams similar to those on the eastern side. The whole region is inhabited by wild animals. The streams and lakes abound in fish of many varieties. In the higher barren rock areas the white goat is found in great numbers, while on the slightly lower ridges, where some protection is afforded by stunted timber growth, brush, and slide rock slopes, the bighorn Rocky Mountain sheep has his haunts. In the valleys and on the lower spurs are many deer and moose; in places a few elk are found, and over the whole area, from high glacier and snow field to huckleberry bush of valley and flat, the grizzly roams. All the game animals use the higher mountain districts for summer range only, as the area is too high and the snowfall too heavy to per- mit of winter use. It would seem advisable to have a protected area include at least that part of the North Fork Valley which lies to the east of the river in order to supply feed under all circumstances. This would not prevent the use of the west side of the valley for railway purposes, as later suggested. A portion of the plains to the east of the mountains might be added to facilitate this condition. The experience of the Government in the Jacksons Hole, in relation to the animals of the Yellowstone Park, need hardly be referred to. The rocks of the whole region are largely of sedimentary origin — limestone, sandstone, and shale — and the conditions are particularly adapted to the study of the structure and history of mountain ranges of these materials, as great folding of the once horizontally bedded rocks is frequently evident and faults of some importance are plain. At one time prospectors for copper flocked to the region, but no finds were made that warrant the belief that the region is one of any value for this metal. Indications of oil have been found on both the east and west sides of the range, but none of the explorations have proved productive. , There are numerous passes through the higher ranges. Across these the game trails lead from valley to valley ; following the game came the Indians ; the hunter and the trapper, looking for easy routes of travel, followed the Indians; then the Government engineers ex- {>loring and mapping, and finally the hardier of the tourists and overs of nature. Most of these passes are closed for many months of each year by snow ; some of them are available only after the use of the ax to give footing on the hard ice of glaciers lying close to the divide, but one or two of them are of such a nature as to event- ually accommodate wagon roads, by which persons unfitted for the strenuous efforts now required to reach the higher country may have 10 opportunity to view it at dose range. None of then) that are south 01 the Canadian boundary will ever be used f<»r a railway route At some future day the locomotive may crOSS from Canada to the waters of the Flathead River and wend southward to the towns and farming valleys adjacent to Columbia Falls and Kalispell and form a link with the Great Northern Railway. A route mi the west side of the Flathead River is very available for the location of a railroad track. In the valley of the Flathead River are Beveral Bquare miles of land which are admirable for grazing purposes, bul over the greater part of the area the soil is so thin as to preclude its extensive use for farming. The area shown on the map herewith incloses about 1,840 square miles. Within these limits there are 250 lakes, ranging from 1<> miles to B few hundred feet in extent: there are more than 60 glaciers be- tween .") Bquare miles and a few acres in area : there are animals, plants, and rocks in numbers and quantity to satisfy the most ardent student, and views of great variety, beauty, and grandeur to gratify the artist and lover of nature. The area is in every way suited to the purposes of B national park and game preserve. The benefits which would come to the persons Living close to or within the area would in a very short time compensate them gen- erously for any temporary inconvenience they may experience. iii:iT.i:i:\' Northern Boundary Report.

The act of Congress approved January 9, 1903 (32 Stat.. reserved a tract of land containing 10)522 acres in the State of South 1 Dakota, 12 miles east of the town of I I"t Springs, and about the same distance southeast of Custer, as a public park to be known as the " Wind ( lave National Park." The park was placed under the exclusive control of the Secretary of the Interior, who ha- authority to prescribe rule- and regulations and establish such Ben ice as may be deemed oecessary in its manage- ment and protection, and in his discretion to rent or lease the cave from which the Park takes its name, and also parcel- of land for the erection of buildings for the accommodation of touri-t-. The funds arising from such rental- are covered into the Treasury and made available for expenditure in the care, protection, and improvement of the park. when the park was created there were 10 entries covering lands withm the park aggregating 1,519.16 acre-. Since that date the Government ha- secured title to all of the land- within the park oepl the NK. | NW. | and N\V. j NK. }. 86C. B5, T. 5 S., R. 5 K.. Black Hills meridian: Jonathan ( '.

A. Rankin, who was formerly superintendent of the park. With the consent of the Attorney General, Mr. Seth Bullock, marshal for the district of South Dakota, has been continued in general charge of the reservation in an advisory capacity, and the superintendent, E. J. Pilcher, confers with him in regard to the administration thereof. The present superintendent was appointed March 26, 1910, and is the son of the former superintendent, Mr. J. E. Pilcher, who died March 14, 1910. The course pursued has aided in the effective management of the park during the past season. On April 22, 1910, a revocable permit was granted Mrs. Jennie A. Pilcher, widow of the former superintendent of the park, to furnish meals to tourists at 50 cents each. The service seems to have been satisfactory. The building constructed in 1893 in which meals are served has been repaired and improved in general appearance. The number of tourists through the park during the year was 3,387, of which num- ber 2,284 were transported by licensed vehicles, and 105 were campers, all of whom registered in books provided for that purpose. The remainder of the number of visitors, 998, were transients and were transported by private vehicles. During the season nine permits were granted for the transporta- tion of passengers in and through the park at the rate of $50 per vehicle. Five of the permits were for the transportation of pas- sengers by wagons, and four for the use of automobiles. Harold Peterson was given permission to take pictures in the cave and do a general photographic business in the park, for which privi- lege a fee of $15 for the remainder of the season, dating from July 31, 1910, was charged. No applications were received for the driving of cattle or other stock through the park, and no change was made during the year in the regulations promulgated June 10, 1908, for the government of the park. There was a forest fire in the park from March 23 to March 25, and, although it swept over about a quarter of the area of the park, it did comparatively little damage, as it was confined to the southern portion which contains but a small amount of timber. A stone wall was completed in front of the superintendent's resi- dence and the lawn was brought up to such a grade as will prevent the soil washing to such an extent as in the past. A concrete walk and steps leading from the residence to the driveway in the front were also constructed. The roads and bridges are in a fairly good condition, but require more or less attention continuously. A new bridge was built on the road south of the cave to replace the old one, and the approaches were raised. Following heavy rains a King drag has been used to keep the roads in good condition, and it has been found to be very effective, as well as economical in road making. In the cave considerable repair work was done during the year to bridges, stairs, and paths, and several new stairways constructed. An estimate for an appropriation of $2,500 for the protection and improvement of the park has been submitted to Congress. 12 1M.ATT NATIONAL PARK. The park has :i total area of S4S/J2 acres and extends in an irregu- lar form ■ distance of abort 9 miles from northeast to south? alone Sulphur Creek, including a part of Rock Creek, which empt into Sulphur ('reek. Preliminary work has been « t« >i i» * looking to tin- construction of ■ wagon ami automobile road from Lincoln I » r i » 1 ir< ' t<> the top ol Bromide Mountain. This road is intended for tourists 1 travel only. A temporary bridge, M feet in Length, h;is been constructed aci Travertine Creek, :it an expense of $4.50. <)1«1 materia] was used in the construction of the bridge. A temporary fool bridge, :'.7 feet in Length, was built over Travertine Creek :it Lake Placid. The continued drought seriously affected the flow of Antelope Springs and completely dried an other springs which it had been the intention to improve. It did not appreciably affect the springs in the Wilson group, During the year nine permits for the transportation of passeng in and through the park were issued. Six were for automobiles and for a three-seated hack. A fee of $15 was charged in each of these instances. Two permits for surreys were issued and a fee <>f $10 in each case was charged. The Elective Studio was granted authority to take pictures in the park during the first quarter, and a license fee of $3 for that quarter was charged. Lewis B. Van Hoesen was given permission to erect a refreshment stand within the park and to sell photographs, etc., for which a fee of $50 wa- charged, and John P. Sims during the quarter ending June 80, 1910, had a peanut and popcorn roaster within the park, for which a license fee of $6.25 was exacted. C. J. Barnes has a permit to sell vegetables, the license fee being $5 per annum. Owing to the continued drought Lou Polk, a large cattle owner. whose pasture adjoins the park on the southeast, was given permis- sion to make an opening in the park fence and construct a U- shaped inclosure, taking in about .'U acres of park land nearest his pasture and including a portion of Travertine ('reek for the purpose of watering his stock. The point at which Mr. Polk was authorised to water his -lock is about a half mile below the intake for the city water, which is procured from this creek, lie was charged a license f.v of $50 per annum. During the yen- -j.ii.". head of cattle and 10 head of horses and mule- were < Iim \ on through the park. During the year 1 1 •_'.'.»."••'. per- \i-ited the Bromide spriiiL r -. It will he understood that this number does not represent that number of different individuals, but those who \ isited the springs from time to time. It i- estimated thai at least 25,000 people were actual visitors t<> the park. Seven hun- dred and twenty-eight visitors came in wagon- and availed them- selves of the privilege of the public camping grounds, Water for dome-tic use in the office and residences of the superin- tendent and Kanger Town-ley ha- in the past heen secured by inean- of a windmill and tank. This mean- proved unsuccessful and re- cently arrangements Were made with the city, which received it- sup- ply of water from Travertine Creek, to furni-h water for done 13 purposes at the office and residences and at certain places in the park for the use of the general public. The road leading from Twelfth Street in the town of Sulphur to the park around to what is known as " Bromide Lane " formed the only way by which vehicles could approach the Bromide Springs. During the year the superintendent opened a driveway extending from a point on this road about 400 feet south of the foot of Twelfth Street to the north end of the Bromide Suspension Bridge. This road is about 1,100 feet long. It was cleared of trees and brush and graded, and is now in a good condition. Its establishment has been a great convenience, especially to invalids in getting to and from the springs. A road about 350 feet long leading from I Street to Travertine Creek was almost impassable as it had been laid in a quagmire of mud with large rocks interspersed here and there. This road has been graded and drained, the surface elevated above the mud and water line, and given a coat of cement gravel 5 or 6 inches in depth. It is now one of the best roads in the vicinity, and is equal to the paved streets in the town of Sulphur. During the past year the roads throughout the park and the fords of the creek have been repaired as far as it was possible to do so with the limited means at hand. Several of the fords have been cleaned and the grades leading to them cut down which has made the mode of travel in and through the park more easy. In general, the regulations for the government of the park were well observed during the year. On April 11 the deputy sheriff of Murray County reported to the park officials that he had arrested a citizen of Sulphur on a charge of having committed a robbery within the park just east of Bromide Springs. The park authorities asked that the prisoner be turned over to them on the grounds that the offense was committed in a national park and not in Murray County. The sheriff, after consulting the county attor- ney, informed the superintendent of the park that the county officials considered they had sufficient jurisdiction to prosecute the accused. On April 26 the case was called in the justice court for preliminary hearing and it was held that the evidence adduced by the State was not sufficient to justify holding the accused, who was thereupon released. One man was arrested for impersonating a Government officer and three men were arrested for transporting passengers in and through the park in unlicensed vehicles, while one man was expelled from the park on account of intoxication. The department has submitted an estimate for $5,000 for the care and maintenance of the park including all personal service for the next fiscal year. 8ULLYS HILL PARK. This reservation, set aside by Executive proclamation dated June 2, 1904, under the act approved April 27, 1904 (33 Stat., 319), contains about 780 acres. It is located on the south shore of Devils Lake, N. Dak., having about 2 miles of shore line. Its western boundary is 1 mile east of the Fort Totten Indian School. Inasmuch as no appropriation has been made for the care and protection of this reservation, Mr. Charles M. Ziebach, in charge of the Indian Indus- 14 trial School, Fori Totten, has been continued as acting superin- tendent and required to exercise supervison and control until an appropriation is made by Congress. The trad is well wooded and ha- an ample supply of water and many rugged hills, among which, on the western boundary, Lies what is known a- M Sully- Hill."

Approximately 40 persons camped in the park for three days or more during the past summer, and L60 spent one day in sightseeing. The Steamboat landing is at least 2 mile- from the park, and the acting superintendent recommends the building of ;> dock to allow boats to land within the park in order to make it more accessible for visitors. Until this is done, and the roads repaired, and springs walled up. the resen at ion is not likely to be patronized to any extent. There are no biuldings or improvements of any kind in the park. CAs a 0RANDE 1U IN. This reservation is located near Florence, Ariz., about I s miles northeast of Casa Grande -tat ion. on the Southern Pacific Railroad. and contains about 480 acres. It was set aside by Executive order dated June 22, 1902, under the act approved March -2, 1889 (25 Stat.. 961). Casa Q-rande is an Indian ruin of undetermined antiquity, which was discovered in L694 by Padre Kino, a Jesuit missionary. This great house is said to be the most important ruin of its type in the Southwest, and as such it has strong claims for archaeological study. repair, and permanent preservation. It is built of puddled clay. molded into walls and dried in the SlUlj and i- of perishable character. The main building was originally five or six stories high and covered a -pace 59 feel h\ \:\ feet :'> inches. The walls have been gradually disintegrating, as a result of the action of the elements. A oornigatea- iron roof has heretofore been erected over this building to protect it. so far as practicable, from further decay. Surrounding Casa Grande proper i- a rectangular walled ind sure Or " compound " having an area of about •_' acres. In this inclo-ure. which has been called '•Compound A." there have recently been excavated a number of buildings or clusters of room-. ( others known to exist have not yet been excavated. Two other compounds have been discovered and designated, respectively. "Compound li " and "Compound C." The former has been the scene of operation- dur- ing the past year, but the latter ha- UOt yet been excavated and is Stul in the form id' a mound. The three compounds together OOn- stitute what is known as the "Cast Grande group of ruins.' 1 A- a result of work .lone by Dr. Fewke-. of the Bureau of Ameri- can Ethnology, the points of interest to visitors have been materially increased.

MTJIR WOODS NATIONAL MONUMENT. On December 31, 1907, the Secretary of the Interior, for and on behalf of the United States, accepted from William Kent and his wife, Elizabeth Thatcher Kent, of Chicago, 111., in accordance with the act of Congress approved June 8, 190C, entitled "An act for the preservation of American antiquities." a deed conveying to the United States the following described land, situate in Marin County, Cal. : Beginning at a stake. A. 7, driven in the center of the road in Redwood Canon and located by the following courses and distances from the point of commencement of the tract of land, which was conveyed by the Tamalpais Land and Water Company to William Kent by a deed dated August 29th, 1905, and recorded in the office of the county recorder of Marin County, California, Book 95 of Deeds at page 5S, to wit : North eighteen degrees thirty-two minutes, east two hundred thirty-two and sixty-four hundredths feet, north sixty-six degrees thirty minutes, west one hundred sixty-seven and thirty-four hundredths feet, north eighty-six degrees twenty-five minutes, west ninety-eight and sixty- two hundredths feet, north seventy degrees no minutes, west two hundred forty-one and seven hundredths feet, north fifty-seven degrees twenty-nine minutes, west one hundred seventy-eight and three-hundredths feet, north forty-six degrees twenty-two minutes, west two hundred thirty-five and thirty- nine hundredths feet, and north twenty-four degrees twenty-five minutes, west two hundred twenty-five and fifty-six hundredths feet; thence from said stake, A. 7, the point of beginning, south fifty-four degrees nineteen minutes, west fourteen hundred eighty-two and seven-tenths feet to Station A. 8, from which Station 4 of the survey of the tract of land conveyed to William Kent as aforesaid bears south fifty-four degrees nineteen minutes, west three hundred ten feet distant : thence from said Station A. 8 north forty-seven degrees thirty minutes, west twenty-six hundred eighty feet; thence due west six hundred 81597—11 2 1- fifty and elghl tenths feet; thence Dortli Qfty-two degrees thirty mm en hundred feet; thence north nineteen degrees fortj five mlnn ten hundred flfty-elghl and four-tenths feel to Station A. 12, from a Station 16 of the survey >-f the trad "t land conveyed to W it as > three di tj -two mlnuti bree hun- dred ten feel distant; thence north eighty-three two minutea, e hundred nine and two tenths feel ; thence north fifty-five deg ghl mlnuti fifteen hundred fifty feel to an quarter! of an Inch In diameter and thirty Inch* Btatlon 1 1 ; thence s.,utii ees eighteen minutea, eaal twenty elghl hundred twenty and nine- tenths feel : thence aouth tour degrees ten minute! ne bundred thirty to s stake. \. 16, driven in tin- center of a graded road; and thence south forty-five degn teen minutea, weal two hundred ninety-eight and tenths feel to Bald Btake A. 7, | of beglnn two hundred ninety-five acres, a little i ■ Ki«,. a, Muir Woods National Monument, California, In T. i n . i:. 8 w\, Ifounl Diablo meridian; created January '■>. 1906. On January ( .». 1908, the President, by virtue of the power and au- thority vested in him by section 2 of said act, declared, proclaimed, and Bel apart the lands described as i M national monument to be known and recognized as Muir Woods National Monument." The Secretary of the interior had, prior to the date lasi mentioned, with- drawn tlir lands from entry or Bale. On September L0, L906, the departmjenl prescribed regulations ai follows fox the gavantinenl and protection of said monument: The following rules and regulations for the governmenl of the Muir Woods National Monument, in the stan- of California, set aside under the provlslo 19 the act of Congress approved June 8, 1906, are hereby established and made public, pursuant to the authority conferred by said act : 1. Fires are absolutely prohibited. 2. No firearms allowed. 3. No fishing permitted. 4. Flowers, ferns, or shrubs must not be picked, nor may any damage be done to the trees. 5. Vehicles and horses may be left only at the places designated for this purpose. 6. Lunches may be eaten only at the spots marked out for such use, and all refuse and litter must be placed in the receptacles provided. 7. Pollution of the water in any manner is prohibited. It must be kept clean enough for drinking purposes. 8. No drinking saloon or barroom will be permitted. 9. Persons rendering themselves obnoxious by disorderly conduct or bad be- havior, or who may violate any of the foregoing rules, will be summarily removed. While the sundry civil act, approved May 27,1908 (35 Stat., 317), was pending before Congress attention was called to the fact that no provision was made for the salaries of custodians or for other protec- tion of national monuments, as recommended in the estimates for these services, and that the department would be embarrassed in its efforts to protect monuments from vandalism and unauthorized ex- ploration and spoliation, because of a lack of funds. The department had recommended an appropriation of $5,000 for these purposes. Three thousand dollars had been appropriated the previous year, but because of deficient wording of the act was not made available. However, on July 11, 1910, Andrew Lind, of California, was ap- pointed custodian of the Muir Woods National Monument, at a salary of $900 per annum, payable from the appropriation " protection of public lands and timber." These lands consist of one of the most noted redwood groves in the State of California, and were held in private ownership by Mr. Kent. The tract is of great scientific interest, contains many redwood trees, which have grown to a height of 300 feet and have a diameter at the butt of 18 feet or more. It is located in a direct line about 7 miles from San Francisco, Cal., and is in close proximity to a large and growing suburban population. PETRIFIED FOREST OF ARIZONA. The Petrified Forest of Arizona lies in the area between the Little Colorado River and the Rio Puerco, 15 miles east of their junction and 6 miles south of Adamana, a station on the Santa Fe Pacific Railroad, from which place it is accessible by horse or vehicle. This area is of great interest because of the abundance of petrified conifer- ous trees, as well as its scenic features. The trees lie scattered about in great profusion ; none, however, stand erect in their original place of growth as do many of the petrified trees in the Yellowstone National Park. The trees probably at one time grew beside an inland sea; after falling they became waterlogged, and during decomposition the cell structure of the wood was entirely replaced by silica derived from sandstone in the surrounding land. Over a greater part of the entire area trees lie scattered in all conceivable positions and in frag- ments of all sizes. Perhaps the most prominent of all the scenic features of the region is the well-known Natural Bridge, consisting of a great petrified trunk lying across a canyon 45 feet in width and forming a footbridge over which anyone may easily pass. 20 Prof. Leeter F. Ward, of fa rical Survey, I. as staled that *• then- is n.. ntliiT [M-tniied forest in which the w I assumes bo many varied and interesting forma and colon, and it is these thai present the chiei attraction for the general public.

Dr. Walter Hough, of the Smithsonian institution, who visited this monument, states that "in the celebrated Petrified Forest, which is some i> miles from Bolbrook, Ariz., on the picturesque Santa I'. 8.-— Petrified I Uonal Monument, Arizona. i-inLni.-inir s«vs i to 18 16 N i: 28 i. . : sees. 20 to 29, Inclusive, and 31 to 36, Inclui P. 11 v. i: 28 !■:. : sees. 1 to 1l\ Inclusive, and sec. 18, T. 16 N H sees. •_■ to n.
