REG. 38. The willful removal of any timber which has 

 been unlawfully cut, either previously or subsequently to 

 the creation of the National Forest, is prohibited. 



The rule for measure of damages for timber cut

 the value ofthe timber where" found; whenrmintpTi- 

 tional, the styjnpflge value only. Damages for timber 

 frespass^may be collected from the original trespasser 

 or from any subsequent purchaser. 



Unlawfully cutting or removing, or wantonly de- 

 stroying timber is prohibited by specific act of Con- 

 gress. (Appendix, pp. 245, 247.) 



Timber may be cut on a valid unpatented claim, but 

 only to the extent necessary for its actual development 

 consistent with the purposes for which it was initiated. 

 (Appendix, p. 280.) Timber cut from one claim can 

 not lawfully be used upon another, unless such use tends 

 directly to develop the claim from which it is cut; and 

 the burden of proof is upon the claimant to show this. 



Cutting, chipping, chopping, or boxing any tree, 

 even though on an unperfected claim, for the purpose 

 of obtaining any pitch, turpentine, or other substance, 

 or knowingly buying any pitch, turpentine, or other 

 substance so obtained, is prohibited by specific act of 

 Congress. (Appendix, p. 249.) 



ADVERTISEMENTS AND BIDS. 



When timber over $100 in value is offered for sale, it 

 must be advertised for a period of not less than thirty 

 days in one or more newspapers of general circulation 

 in the State or Territory. (Appendix, p. 215.)
