Excerpt from Report of the Public Lands Commission, 1905: With Appendix In December, 1903, there were two sales of timber upon the ceded portion Of the Chippewa Indian Reservation in Minnesota. At the first sale, on December 5, the timber upon acres sold for an average price of per acre. At the second sale, on December 28, 95 per cent of the timber upon acres sold for an average price of per acre. The amounts to be received from the various purchases are calculated upon the estimated amount of timber upon the land at a stated price per thousand feet, board measure, but the payments will be based upon an actual scale of the logs when cut. Logging operations now in progress indicate that more than the estimated amount of timber will be cut from these lands. It will be observed that but 95 per cent of the timber was sold at the last sale, the remaining 5 per cent being reserved for reforestation.
