10:20 - Range Re oonnais sauce as Practiced on the Mono, 

 : 



TThy it uas uncart alien; Before the Porost was 

 created, cuito a "bit of land had been patented to cover and 

 control certain tracts of land for use in grazing stool:. 

 TThon grazing, administration was effected, under forest 

 Service regulations, nearly all of the private land was 

 offered as base for exemption in grazing* The ovner knew 

 the location of his land in a general way only and con- 

 cluded that he owned all the good, land in the locality. In 

 order to ascertain the exact value of his land, a detailed 

 examination end description was made of it. The prime aim 

 was to cover such lends first, doing only a narrow strip of 

 surrounding Government t land which would afford a comparison, 



How much has "been done; Grazing reconnaissance 

 was ber;un on the Mono in 1911, and 15,600 acres of Govern- 

 nent land and 13,344 acres of patented land were covered. 

 During 1912, 1800 acres of patented land and 130,720 aoros 

 of Government land were done, 



How it was done: More care and accuracy in detail 

 is required in covering patented land than Government .This 

 is especially true in locating and typing the land. Corners
