Probable Addition to Preserve
It is probable that within the next two years the tract of 1,600 acres, now being operated by the Blair Lumber Company on the summit of Laurel mountain, will be added to the preserve, and a movement of the kind will be advocated by sportsmen of this section. The lumber company will soon be through with this part of its operation, there is no coal under the tract and the land is of little or no value for other purposes, although there are probably some available sites for quarrying Ligonier blue-rock.
The water throughout the present preserve and the proposed addition is of the finest. Stream after stream spring up on the rather level summit of the ridge and tumble down the mountain side, gathering reinforcements as they go. The present reserve affords many ideal camping sites and probably has an average height above sea level of close to 2,700 feet.
