FOREST MANAGEMENT. 



The following rules are being carried out in marking timber on the Allen 

 Gold Mining Company sale of 50,000,000 feet in the Hell Gate Forest Reserve : 



(1) Cut in alternate strips of 150 and 75 feet in width, respectively, varying 

 the location of these strips to conform to the nature of the stand, the strips 

 to run with the slope. 



(2) Cut everything merchantable from the 150-foot strips. 



(3) In the 75-foot strips leave groups of seed trees covering at least one- 

 half the area of the strip and separated by openings running across the slope. 



(4) Leave for seed, trees from 7 to 11 inches in diameter, inclusive, consider- 

 ing the ideal seed tree as a 10-inch tree. Trees of 12 inches and over are to 

 be left for seed only when smaller tree.s are lacking. 



(5) Leave for seed sound trees so far as possible, but remember that injured 

 lodgepole decays slowly, and that it is far more important that the groups 

 should be full than that they should consist of perfect trees. 



(6) To state Rule 5 differently, cut from the groups everything that will 

 make lagging, converter poles, or 10-inch stulls, except when the scarcity of 

 other material makes the leaving of some stull trees necessary. 



(7) All trees to be thrown and brush to be piled outside the groups. In no 

 case need refuse larger than 6 inches in diameter be piled for burning. 



Wherever possible, spruce should be favored in the .reproduction as against 

 lodgepole pine.
