Complete minutes for June 1904-May 1917 (1 v.), and scattered minutes for 1895-1902 (1 folder). They focus on cruisers' and state land examiners' reports of timber trespass (illegal logging) on state lands and negotiations with the transgressors over settlement; decisions on tracts of timber to be sold and arrangements for holding stumpage sales; and the issuance and extension of cutting permits. Other topics discussed include settlements for other timber cutting (e.g., for railroad construction or along the route of drainage ditches); damage to timber by fire; payment of bills for cruising and examination expenses; comparisons of the board's scaling reports with those of the Surveyor General of Logs and Lumber; and requests by lumber companies that the board revise its valuation of timber cut. Early minutes (ca. 1904-1905) summarize reports of the timber cruisers on quantity, type, and value of timber cut by lumber companies.
