copy of the lease, and must state the number and kind of stock permit is desired 

 for, the range which it is desired to occupy, and the period during which the 

 stock will remain upon the Forest. Permits will be subject to the same re- 

 strictions regarding the use of the range as permits issued under other regula- 

 tions. (Issued April 25, 1913, to take effect May 1, 1913.) 



The privilege of grazing sheep and goats upon National Forest lands, under 

 Regulation G-7, will be allowed only upon such ranges as are open to this 

 kind of stock. 



Where more than one-half of the land comprising the range allotment is con- 

 trolled by the applicant, ordinarily an on-and-off permit may be issued. The 

 waiver of exclusive use of uufenced private land is not required unless the 

 interests of the Government especially demand it. 



ALLOWANCES FOB PRIVATE LANDS. 



The following rules will govern grazing allowances on account of private 

 land within National Forests the exclusive use of which has been waived. 



Bona fide settlers who have made homestead entry, but have not yet made 

 final proof, may be allowed free permits for grazing upon National Forest lands 

 the number of animals their land will support. 



Persons who have filed upon land within ttie National Forests under laws not 

 requiring residence may be allowed free permits for grazing upon National 

 Forests the number of stock their lands will support, after they have made final 

 payment for the land. 



Owners or lessees of Indian allotments may be allowed permits for grazing 

 upon National Forests the number of animals the land will support, provided 

 that patent has issued or a lease has been executed upon the blanks of the In- 

 dian Office and approved by the Commissioner of Indian Affairs. 



Persons holding unpatented mining claims within a National Forest have the 

 right to the grass or other forage upon, such claim needed for stock used in 

 connection with the development of the claims, but they have no right to dis- 

 pose of the forage to any other person or to collect rental for the use of the 

 claims for grazing purposes. Such unperfected mining claims, therefore, can 

 not be accepted as the basis for a permit under Regulation G-7. 



Boiia fide squatters upon unsurveyed lands may be allowed permits for 

 grazing the number of animals their claims will support, provided no claim 

 exceeds 1GO acres.

 demnity limits of railroad grants will be allowed in accordance with the 

 grazing regulations under regular paid permits. 



CROSSING PERMITS. 



REGULATION G-8. Persons wishing to drive stock across any portion of a 

 National Forest to reach either public or private lands, except when the stock 

 will be driven along a public highway or will not be grazed upon National 

 Forest lands, must make application to the supervisor or other Forest officer for 

 a permit to graze the stock en route, and must have a permit from the super- 

 visor or such other Forest officer as he may designate, before entering the 

 National Forest. The application must state the number of stock to be driven, 

 the date of starting, and period required for passage. Grazing must be confined 

 to the limits and along the route designated by the Forest officers, and will 

 only be allowed for the period necessary for stock to cross the National Forest. 

 (Issued April 25, 1913, to take effect May 1, 1913.) 



The regular grazing permit carries with it the privilege of driving the per- 

 mitted stock over the National Forest lands to and from the allotted ranges 

 at the beginning and end of the grazing season and from the range to the most 

 accessible shearing, dipping, and shipping points during the term of the permit.
