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.

And whereas the public lands in the State of California 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 California and within the boundaries
particularly described as follows, to wit:

Beginning at the northeast corner of section thirteen (13), township
five (5) south, range six (6) west, of the San Bernardino base and
meridian; thence westerly along the surveyed and unsurveyed section line
to the point for the southwest corner of section ten (10), said township
and range; thence northerly along the surveyed and unsurveyed section
line to the northwest corner of section three (3), said township and
range; thence westerly along the surveyed and unsurveyed township line
to the point for the northwest corner of section three (3), township
five (5) south, range seven (7) west; thence southerly along the
surveyed and unsurveyed section line to the southeast corner of section
thirty-three (33), said township and range; thence easterly along the
