mission approved a tracv 9f 7,5utt
acres on the western slope of Moaat
Moosilause, one of the m jst prdiiii
nent and best. known peaks of the
White Mountains and one much
used by the public, for Recreational
purposes. . The tract consists in
part of .virgin spruce timber, in
part of valuable spruce and hard
wood second growth on lands cut
over some 75 years ago! and in
part of lands more recently partial
ly cut over. With the approval of
this tract the government is now

In the Chero iee purchase area in

A tithdrityfahil'ffi
ion to day will cquire a tract of
53,500 acres of limbered and cut
o ver lands. " This tract is also situa
ted on watersheds tributary to the
Tennessee river. It is in a locality
where a number of years' ago the
forest was considerably in j ured by
fumes from the copper smelting
plants at Copper Hill and - Duck
town. By reason of the sulphuric
V f
acid plants which have been in
stalled in connection with the
smelters the inj ury has been greatly
mitigated, if not practically over
come. About one-third of. this
tract is cut over, the remainder is
in virgin condition exceptor such
portions as were at one time injured
by the fumes.
The total area approved for pur
chase by the commission now
amounts to 500,000 acres. A por
tion of these lands have been paid,
for and are under complete control
and protection of the United States.
On other portions the pecessary
surveys and title examinations are
being made and. the ownership will
not pass to the government until
the titles have been approved by the
attorney general.
