oer clai r .J in earnest, e.r.\ have to rerort excellent 

 eucce.Ts in fi::din,r old lines and Government corners. We

 We have rade re^ bearing troes wherever v.-e found one fallen

 P. ." so that anyone finding then will loiow that norae 

 member of the Forest Service did the r/ork. We have found 

 sixteen Government corners, oV some evidence of their. In 

 sone canes only ono bearing tree remained. ! .'e have 

 re-ostablisl ed nine cor::ers by putting in new stakes, mak- 

 ing new rounds of stone and narking up new bearing trees . 

 The lir.oo run have been arc carefully chained as two men 

 coul'l do the work without cutting brush-. On steep ground 

 the chain is broker, to half-chain, and a good set* of field 

 notes is being written, including notes on tisiber, reproduc- 

 tion, and forage. All cornero to clair.3 not conforming 

 to section or quarter section corners are raided by stakes 

 and mounds <~" utone for future reference. V/e have failed 

 to locate 'three quarter section corners - one Of them 

 had evidently oecn ained av;ay ~ one, we believe, had never 

 been set, since there voro no biases to be found on the 

 line after it r.aoood into bad country, and the field notes 

 did not fit the country we p&nood over - the third we did 

 not look fo;- very much because -vo did not need it in our 

 work. We have 30 to 35 iriles to survey and chain yet.
