News of the discovery was received by Nelson F, Macduff, supervisor of the forest, from U. K. Haefner, In charge of the Western Lumbor company timber sale at Weatflr, While running a compaaa line to rotrace section linos mads more than a halt century ago, Mr. Hacfnar and his assistant came to a place where they expected to find n corner mark or witness tree to Indicate the seo tion corner. When the original marks marks were made 00 years ago the surveyors usually would select a near by fir troo as a "bearing tree" and after chopping off a section of the bark, would Inscribe It with symbols Indicating the section number, town ship and range, followed by the lult ials "B, T.' indicating It was only an aid to locate the corner mark for the section corner.

One trie, how ever, bore indications It might have been biased by en axe at one time, although the bark was unmarked.. "Let's chop Into It, anyway," sug gested Mr. llaefner. "We .ought to go down through about 00 or 70 rings in tho wood If wo reach the original markings." Brown Wood Found After carefully chopping Into the big tree the foresters finally encount ered some brown wood, showing evi dence that it had been marked.
