 District No. 7 



One fire for September is our record. This 

 occurred on railroad land* The expense of fighting it 

 being paid by the railroad company, we are able to .call it 

 Class B. 



Work has progreosed in a very satisfactory manner 

 since our last letter. Seven miles of trail have been 

 completed along the summit of Trinity Mountain for a fire 

 patrol, and the construction of more trail up the Stuart's 

 Fork has been vigorously carried on by a crew of three good 

 men, to the amount of *135.CO worth of labor. This trail 

 will not be completed before another fiscal year on account of 

 lack of money. 



Assistant Ranger Box and Guard Thorne made a very 

 successful trip to Weaver Bally for the purpose of talrinr up 

 our temporary telephone line, and moving the lookout man's 

 equipment to winter quarters. The boys ran into the first 

 snow of the season, but with true ranger grit proceeded to 

 coil up the wire, snow or no snow, and made a record trip 

 out of it. They left VTeaverville at 11 A. M. on the 26th, 

 arrived at Picken's camp at East Weaver Lake at 5:50 P. M. 

 The next morning they coiled 2 2/3 miles of wire, packed it 

 out to where the horses could be driven, returned to Picken'a 

 camp, packed up everything and moved camp to the old D&y and 

 Kafley sawmill site that niht. The next morning they picked 

 up the remaining mile or wire, loaded everything onto the 

 horses and arrived in Weaverville at 1:00 P. II. Our lookout 

 man got through Saturday, September 83, Just a little earlier
