Only one building, the orderly office, had been torn down when orders came from Washington to discontinue operations pending a decission as to what action would be taken with regard to two requests. Acting for the city of Southport, the Southport Civic Club secretary asked the War Department for five of the buildings for community purposes. Immediately afterwards the National Youth Administration, in Washington, made a request for the entire camp, as it is.

If for any reason the National Youth Administration fails to be given the camp the local claims will still be standing and will be pushed. It is generally conceded, however, that the government agency will get the camp. In some quarters, it is thought that the taking over by the National Youth Administration may make the camp just as valuable, to Southport as it was during CCC occupancy. At any rate, all salvaging operations were discontinued almost as soon as they started, and the matter of turning the camp over to either the new government agency or - the City of Southport is awaiting the approval of the Director of the CCC in Washington. .

This camp will be a regular full-size forestry camp and will devote all of its work to the construction of fire control improvements consisting of the building of fire truck trails, telephone lines, towers and other purely fire control work. The location of this camp was selected after a careful survey of this territory and particularly with regard to the radius from which the work could be carried on. .This camp will be situated in what is considered the worst forest fire section in the State. Almost one-half million acres surround this camp site and there is, at present, but one road in this area and the work of this camp will be devoted to opening up this remote and inaccessible forest land that fire control may be carried on to a better ad vantage and that men and supplies can be transported more rapidly than at present.

A rather strong local belief is that the jaw was the property of some of the way early settlers, probably a pirate. The position in which the jaw and a lower leg bone was found argues strongly that he died by violence and was buried in somewhat of an unothordox fashion. The leg bone was only about 18-inches from the jaw. It should have been approximately four feet aWay. The early Spanish pirates who first settled South port are credited with a habit of burying gold, and a body just above it, believing that any chance discovery of the bones would deter Indians from digging deeper and finding the gold.
