The lands will be withheld from private sale after May 

 15th. 



The distance to water as mentioned under each group, 

 means to water that will float logs. 



By referring to the maps, it will generally be apparent, 

 whether streams are of sufficient size for floating. Where 

 there would be any doubt about' the small streams in this 

 respect, the floating points noted in the returns of the ex- 

 plorers are marked on the maps. 



In fixing the minimum price, reference was generally had 

 to the distance from floating water. In some few instan- 

 ces, on the head waters of the streams, the distance to floating 

 water could not be determined by any information in possession 

 of the Company. In such cases the price was fixed by assum- 

 ing a point from which logs can probably be floated. 



T~ The catalogue does not specify the particular part of the 

 sections contained in each group. This could not be done 

 without doubling the size of the catalogue, which it was not 

 thought necessary to do, inasmuch as the particular part of any 

 section which is contained in any group, can be determined by 

 referring to the maps. 



The consecutive numbers of the groups are in the order of 

 Ranges. The groups will also be found arranged in the order 

 of rivers, so that under the name of each river will be found 

 all the groups lying upon the waters of such river.
