JOHN HAY,
_Secretary of State._
BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
A PROCLAMATION.
Whereas it is provided by section twenty-four of the act of Congress,
approved March 3rd, 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 Wyoming, 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, William McKinley, President of the United States, by
virtue of the power in me vested by section twenty-four 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 Wyoming and particularly described as follows,
to wit:
Beginning at the northeast corner of township fifteen (15) north, range
seventy-one (71) west, sixth (6th) principal meridian, Wyoming; thence
westerly along the township line to the northwest corner of section
three (3), township fifteen (15) north, range seventy-two (72) west;
thence southerly to the southwest corner section thirty-four (34), said
township; thence easterly to the southeast corner of said section;
thence southerly to the southwest corner of section eleven (11),
township fourteen (14) north, range seventy-two (72) west; thence
easterly to the southeast corner of section twelve (12), said township;
thence southerly to the southwest corner of section thirty (30),
township fourteen (14) north, range seventy-one (71) west; thence
easterly to the southeast corner of section twenty-five (25), said
township; thence northerly along the range line to the northeast corner
of township fifteen (15) north, range seventy-one (71) west, the place
of beginning.
