8 FOREST KESEKVE MANUAL. 



Applicants for sawmill permits are required to enter into a 

 contract (see form of contract on p. 79) and execute a bond 

 for its proper fulfillment. 



The proper disposition of refuse especially is insisted upon 

 in every case. 



SANITARIUMS AND HOTELS AT MINERAL, MEDICINAL, OK OTHER 



SPRINGS. 



Land about such springs can be leased. 



The Secretary alone grants permit and leases such lands. 



The proceeds of such leasing go to a special fund and are 

 expended in the care of the forest reserves. 



The application is made in the same manner as prescribed 

 for ordinary hotels, stores, etc. 



The time for which the lease may be drawn, and the amount 

 to be paid per year, are determined by the Department. 



TRAVEL IN AND ACROSS THE RESERVES. 



All law-abiding people are permitted to travel in forest 

 reserves for purposes of prospecting, surveying, to go to and 

 from their own lands or claims, and for pleasure or recreation. 



But in every case the person or persons so traveling, camp- 

 ing, etc., must obey the rules established by the Department 

 for forest reserves, and particularly will they be expected to 

 refrain from doing anything which may result in injury to " 

 the forests. See information concerning fires. 



GRAZING IN FOREST RESERVES. 



The Secretary of the Interior, in being charged with the 

 proper protection of the forest reserves, has the right to forbid 

 any and all kinds of grazing therein. 



Whenever the grazing appears to do no marked damage to 

 the forests of the reserve, grazing is allowed by the Depart- 

 ment; but until the Secretary has decided that it will do no 

 harm, and that a certain number of either sheep and goats or 

 cattle and horses maj"^ graze in a reserve or part of a reserve, 

 the grazing of stock is prohibited; and all parties responsible 

 for its presence in the reserve prior to such decision by the 

 Secretary of the Interior, are liable to criminal and civil suits 

 for trespass and damage.
