52 CLIMATIC CYCLES AND TREE-GROWTH. 
the upper side of the tree in which the rings may be observed. These 
rings are large, and various estimations of the age of the tree obtained 
in two different visits gave an average of 2,500 years. Near the General 
Grant Tree is the stump of what was known as the Centennial Tree. 
It was said that a section of this tree was exhibited in 1876. Since 
then the stump has been badly burned and is in poor condition for 
cutting a sample. Some estimate of the rings showed their size to be 
large, and the age of the tree, therefore, was not very great, perhaps 
1,800 years. This confirms the estimate of the General Grant Tree 
near by.

On going up from the 
camp, No. 23, known as the Centennial Stump, was found at once, 
as it is of enormous size, high in the center, and covered with names of 
visitors. It is located close beside the road and near the wash, about 
100 yards from the clear space once occupied by the Enterprise Mill. 
The oldest tree which Huntington found at this locality had been
