FORT APACHE RESERVATION
THE WHITE HOUSE, February 17, 1912
Under authority of the act of Congress of June 4, 1897 (30 Stat, 11 at 34 and 36), and upon recommendation of the Secretary of Agriculture, it is hereby ordered that on and after March 1, 1912, the boundaries of the Sitgreaves National Forest, Arizona, pro- claimed March 2, 1909, and modified by subsequent proclamation of August 24, 1910, be further modified by excluding therefrom all that part of the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation in- cluded in the said Sitgreaves National Forest by the said proclama- tion of March 2, 1909.
The purpose of this exclusion is to restore the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation in all respects to the status existing prior to the said proclamation of March 2, 1909, as though the in- clusion of the lands within the Sitgreaves National Forest had not been ordered, and said Indian reservation is hereby fully re-created and restored to that status.
Wm. H. Taft
