(/n/.:./'m/ Reconnaissance on Coconino National Forest 79 



1911 and during the entire season of 1912 a cook was em- 

 ployed. 



A team of mules and a wagon were hired for the summer. 

 If the country was very rough, burros and the team of mules 

 were used for packing; while the wagon and extra supplies 

 were left behind until the section of rough country was com- 

 pleted. 



Monthly progress reports made by the man in charge 

 of the party were sent to the Supervisor's office, the Dis- 

 trict Forester, and the Grazing Inspector to show what prog- 

 ress the party was making and what the costs were. 



The field work on the Coconino was completed late in 

 November, but the office work was continued during the 

 winter. Following are a few figures taken from the reports 

 of the work for 1911 and 1912: 



Area examined per effective day I 1780 acres 



Area mapped per effective day | 2995 



Average cost per acre for examination 



and mapping 



Cost of board per man per day 



Total cost per section when completed, 



approximately 



$0.006145 

 $0.594100 



$4.500000 



The Examiner spends 'the winter in Washington check- 

 ing up and compiling the data gathered during the summer 

 and making his report. From this data a final map of the 

 forest with scale of one inch to the mile is being made. This 

 map will show: 



1. All types and subtypes of grazing land ten acres or 

 more in extent showing their condition. 



2. All water facilities. 



3. All cultural features. 



4. Stock driveways. 



5. The different allotments. 



6. Any excluded or unused areas.
