The said party of the first part hereby grants to the said party of the second part the right to cut 

 all the merchantable spruce, balsam, pine and cherry lumber on the territory within the following

 Township number 5 John Brown's Tract ; thence along the southerly line thereof to the north-west 

 corner of Township Number 8, said tract; thence southerly on the west line of said Township 

 number 8 to the intersection of a line run nearly parallel with the north line of said Township 

 number 8 and along said line which passes thirty rods north of the most northerly bay of Twitchell 

 Lake to the westerly line of Township number 42 Totten & Crossfield's Purchase ; thence southerly 

 along said westerly line to the south-west corner of said Township number 42 ; thence easterly on 

 the southerly line of said Township number 42 to the south-east corner of lot number one hundred

 of said lot number eighteen (18) and of lots numbers nineteen and twenty (19, 20), and on a continu- 

 ation of said line to the west line of the east third of Township number five (5) heretofore referred 

 to; thence southerly along said west line to the place of beginning. 



It being understood that the party of the first part may require the party of the second part to 

 lumber all or any part of said Township number forty-two (42) lying west of the Hamilton county 

 line, and that part of Townships thirty-eight and forty-three (38, 43) that would naturally come 

 down the Beaver River Valley, provided that reasonable notice be given the party of the second part 

 to prepare to do said work. 



The party of the second part shall have the right to enter upon the lands of the party of the first 

 part to make all necessary roads and bridges, and to do all other work essential to proper lumbering 

 operations, including the cutting of small trees for the corduroying of roads where necessary, doing 

 no unnecessary damage. It is further understood that no streams are to be dammed or land flooded 

 without the consent of the party of the first part. 



The party of the second part is not to cut any timber within thirty rods of any lake or pond, 

 unless with the written consent of the party of the first part, the lines constituting the boundary about 

 such lakes and ponds to be defined by the party of the first part, but the party of the second part is 

 charged with the duty of calling for the said lines when about to lumber near any of said lakes 

 or ponds. 



The party of the second part shall have the privilege of erecting his mills, dwelling and other 

 necessary buildings for the carrying on of the business herein provided, upon the lands of the party of 

 the first part, the location therefor to be agreed upon between the parties hereto from time to time ; 

 no building to be put within the fence line except upon the written consent of the party of the first 

 part ; and the said party of the second part shall have the right and privilege of removing any 

 buildings so erected, or any machinery or other property therein, from the lands of the party of the 

 first part belonging to him, the said party of the second part, at the termination of this contract, or 

 upon the abrogation thereof by agreement. 



The spruce and balsam timber within the above described boundary lines shall not be cut smaller 

 than eight inches in diameter at the small end of the log, and the pine, hemlock and cherry timber 

 shall not be cut smaller than ten inches in diameter at the small end of the log. The spruce and 

 hemlock logs shall be cut thirteen feet four inches long unless otherwise ordered by the party 

 of the first part ; and the pine and cherry logs shall be cut ten, twelve, fourteen and sixteen feet 

 long unless otherwise ordered by the party of the first part, and as many of the longer lengths shall be 

 secured as may be consistent with proper lumbering. 



It is the intention of this contract to prevent the cutting of less than twelve inches at the stump, 

 three feet from the ground, and smaller trees must not be cut down ; also all decayed or seamy trees 

 unfit for lumber must not be cut down. All butt logs suitable for sounding-board lumber are to be 

 piled and skidded in the woods separately, unless otherwise ordered by the party of the first part.
