More from Teddy Roosevelt
We know now that our mineral resources once exhausted are gone forever.
Now, Therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the power in me vested by an Act of Congress, approved June fourth, eighteen hundred and ninety-seven, entitled, 'An Act Making appropriations for sundry civil expenses of the Government for the fiscal year ending June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and ninety-eight and for other purposes,' do proclaim that said lands are hereby added to the Carson National Forest.
The boundaries of said National Forest are now as shown on the said diagram.
It is unlawful for any person to hunt, trap, capture, willfully disturb, or kill any bird of any kind whatever, or take the eggs of such birds within the limits of this reservation.
