The Rim-rock is 40 rods wide, it and the rocky gulches cut out fully 110 acres leaving 213 acres of soil. This I describe as follows:

West 1/2 NW 1/4 65 acres Agricultural land
Fraction NE 1/4 of SW 1/4 15 " " " [[dittos for acres Agricultural land]]
" [[ditto for Fraction]] NW 1/4 of SE 1/4 6 " " " [[dittos for acres Agricultural land]]
" [[ditto for Fraction]] NE 1/4 of SE 1/4 4 " " " [[dittos for acres Agricultural land]]
" [[ditto for Fraction]] SE 1/4 of SE 1/4 5 " " " [[dittos for acres Agricultural land]]
In the SW 1/4 of NE 1/4 5 " " " [[dittos for acres Agricultural land]]
Total 100 " " " [[dittos for acres Agricultural land]]

The remaining 113 acres was classed as grazing, making the entire allotment rate as about
156.50 acres.

In other allotments I have allowed for Rim-rock and broken patches from an acre to 5 or ten acres in extent, only when it cut up the land badly, and could not well be excluded from the allotment, as it does not seem fair to cut down the amount of soil from one Indian and leave him with only 120 or 130 acres which he could in any way utilize.

I would respectfully ask your approval of this and like allotments, where the rocky gulches & ledges seriously reduce the area allotted or given in the legal subdivisions without any allowance being made for the worthless tract.
