ed this reservation from earning of the division. A recently aerial survey made to aid in the land survey, shows it is 35-miles uround the preserve. It is planned'to encircle Hus large tract with one strand of wire fencing, on which at intervals of about. 150 yards, the preserve will Ise posted against hunting. Tlte first artificial lake which places approximately 10 acres of water, Is to be followed by a larger lake, Mannfeld says, for it is the desire of the department to develop this place into one of the great game preserves of the country. The lake was obtained by throwing a concrete darn across a ravine. The impounded water comes from springs, the drainage off the hills and from a small stream. The nature of the soil is sticli I as to impound the water and keep the level up. according to the state geologist who was consulted before work started.
