BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas it is provided by section 24 of the act of Congress approved
March 3, 1891, entitled "An act to repeal timber-culture laws, and for
other 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.

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 California and within the boundaries
particularly described as follows, to wit:

Beginning at the northeast corner of township five (5) south, range
thirty (30) east, on the first (1st) standard parallel south, Mount
Diablo meridian, California; thence westerly along said first (1st)
standard parallel to the northwest corner of township five (5) south,
range twenty-one (21) east; thence southerly on the range line between
ranges twenty (20) and twenty-one (21) east to the southwest corner of
township six (6) south, range twenty-one (21) east; thence easterly on
the township line between townships six (6) and seven (7) south to the
southeast corner of township six (6) south, range
