A Large Tree.
What undoubtedly is the largest tree in the world has been recently discovered two and a half miles from the Sanger Lumber Company's mill at Converse Basin, far up in the Sierras, Fresno County, California, The discovery was made by a party of hunters, but little credence was given to the report until the tree had been visited by people who hive verified the fiaders' statement. The monster was measured six feet from the ground, and it took a line 154 ft and Bin long to encircle it, making it over 51ft in diameter. This tree is a few rods from the company's boundary line and is on the Government reserve ; herice it will stand to interest sightseers and will escape %ht woodsman's axe.
