DISTRICT Ui:\V3 



The new log oabra r at > ^Srfny ^tttfon is about completed, 

 and it will be a big improveaent in that part of the dis- 

 trict. We have also finished a seven-aore pasture in this 

 neighborhood of three plain twisted I>o.l2 wire strands whioh 

 will be very useful to us. 



The stockmen on the Granite Creek and Meroed ranges have 

 completed a pasture fence at the Duncan Meadow to hold their 

 stock while gathering in the fall. At this early date, they 

 do not see how the? ever got along without it. 



For our Signal Peak water tram we have an eleven gallon 

 galvanized bucket, a new oar, a larger drum and gear wheels, 

 BC the worry about water Rt this lookout is a thing of the 

 past. 



The stock coming out of tho back country ranges is look- 

 ing extra good and the stockrien are ver? nuoh pleased witli 

 their condition. 



Up to date we have had fourteen permitted fires this 

 summer in the Mariposa District, controlled by the Tire 

 Protective Association. They have done excellent worlr. We 

 expect to have more of these fires if the weather oontinxies 

 dry. 



Sugar Pine District. 



The fire season is practically closed for 1915, and 

 with very little damage, if any, done to timber in this 

 ranger district. Only one fire occurred on whioh money 

 had to be expended for temporary fire fighters and sup- 

 plies, and in that case the expense was only _;8.00. This 

 was necessary for the protection of the lookout tower on 

 Deadwood peak as the fire occurred after Mr .Gray, the look- 

 out had been released. 



One srall fire was located and put o\it on Green Mount- 

 ain an September 21, whioh fron all indications UA 1 osen 

 started by lightning .
