ther purposes"--
That the President of the United States may from time to time set
apart and reserve in any State or Territory having public land bearing
forests, in any part of the public lands wholly or in part covered with
timber or undergrowth, whether of commercial value or not, as public
reservations; and the President shall by public proclamation declare
the establishment of such reservations and the limits thereof.
And whereas the public lands in the State of Colorado within the limits
hereinafter described are in part covered with timber, and it appears
that the public good would be promoted by setting apart and reserving
said lands as a public reservation:
Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States,
by virtue of the power in me vested by section 24 of the aforesaid act
of Congress, do hereby make known and proclaim that there is hereby
reserved from entry or settlement and set apart as a public reservation
all those certain tracts, pieces, or parcels of land lying and being
situate in the State of Colorado and particularly described as follows,
to wit:
Beginning at the northeast corner of township seven (7) south, range
ninety-three (93) west of the sixth (6th) principal meridian; thence
westerly along the township line between townships six (6) and seven
(7) south to the northwest corner of township seven (7) south, range
ninety-three (93) west; thence southerly along the range line between
ranges ninety-three (93) and ninety-four (94) west to the northwest
corner of section nineteen (19), township seven (7) south, range
ninety-three (93) west; thence westerly along the unsurveyed section
line between sections thirteen (13) and twenty-four (24), fourteen (14)
and twenty-three (23), fifteen (15) and twenty-two (22), sixteen (16)
and twenty-one (21), seventeen (17) and twenty (20), and eighteen (18)
and nineteen (19), township seven (7) south, range ninety-four (94)
west, to the northwest corner of section nineteen (19) of said township
and range; thence southerly along the range line between ranges
ninety-four (94) and ninety-five (95) west to the northwest corner of
township eight (8) south, range ninety-four (94) west; thence westerly
along the township line between townships seven (7) and eight (8) south
to the northwest corner of section three (3), township eight (8) south,
range ninety-five (95) west; thence southerly along the section line
between sections
