BULL HILL
Butte County - National Forest
November 14, 1912: "Forest Ranger E. F. Smith has been in charge of the planting, most of which has been done in the last three weeks. The government is unusually active in this section, and aside from starting young forests, is extending telephone lines to all portions of the reserve. Within the last month, a telephone station has been established on the very peak of Mt. Lassen, and another on Bull Hill, where lookouts will be established during the summer months. The purpose of the phone system is to report to the chief ranger the presence of forest fires immediately, that they may be fought and subdued before millions of feet of lumber have been burned."
