Roosevelt opposes large Idaho forest reserve plan
Dubois writes to President Roosevelt arguing against a proposed Idaho forest reserve stretching across central and southern regions including Blaine and Payette counties. He contends the area is largely unsurveyed, sparsely cultivated, and contains mining districts like Thunder Mountain and Roosevelt, with significant timber and water resources at stake. The letter disputes objections by Senator Heyburn and defends minimal impact on roads, towns, and grazing while stressing timber protection and watershed benefits.

Reeves reports samples from three claims show high grade copper ore. Tests value ore at $97, $116 and $122 per ton, depth ten feet, no development beyond annual assessment.
