Nomenclature and Management:
1 Interior Department is in all cases the custodian.
2 All are specifically called "parks" in the establishing acts or their amendments except Hot Springs and Casa Grande Ruin. These are termed "reservations."

4 Road construction by Army Engineers (Act of June 6, 1900).
5 Scientific excavations and protective works placed under Smithsonian Institution by Sundry Civil Act of June 30, 1906.

7 Superintendent of park recommends a military guard in summer.

9 Scientific excavations and protective works undertaken voluntarily by Smithsonian Institution at request of Interior Department.

Misdemeanor Penalties:
10 All National Forest and National Park employees given power of arrest for violation of laws and regulations by Act of Feb. 6, 1905, reënacted by Agriculture Appropriation Act of March 3, 1905. Act of March 3, 1875, provides a fine up to $500 or imprisonment up to one year for cutting or injuring trees or fences, or for unauthorized pasturing on any reserved public lands. Act of June 3, 1878, as amended August 4, 1892, forbids unlawful timber cutting on public lands, the fine being $100 to $1000. Section 5391 Revised Statues and Act of July 7, 1898, makes offences on U. S. property punishable under the law of the State where committed, if such law exists, in cases where there is no U. S. law to cover same. See 11, 12, 13.
11 Special Act of May 7, 1894, "to protect birds and animals in Yellowstone National Park, and to punish crimes in said park." Fine up to $1000 or imprisonment up to 2 years, or both, with costs. Wyoming State laws apply where U. S. laws are deficient.
12 Fine up to $100 and costs in certain cases on a portion of the reservation (Act of April 20, 1904, amended March 2, 1907). City ordinances and State laws apply in some cases.
13 Violators of rules governing park may only be ejected. State laws do not cover sufficiently. In the case of the Yosemite there is no U. S. Commissioner within 100 miles.
14 Rules and regulations for government are required by law in connection with all National Parks except Casa Grande and Sully's Hill.
15 Fine up to $500 or imprisonment up to 1 year and liability for all damages.

Preservation Terms:
19 The preservation of the park in its natural condition is required by law on 7 of the 12 parks.
20 Establishing act specifies "protection of said ruin and of the ancient city of which it is a part." Custodian provided annually by Sundry Civil Act.
21 Custodian required by establishing act to "cause adequate measures to be taken for the preservation of the natural objects" and of timer, game, and fish.
22 Requirement might be implied, however, from general terms of establishing act.

Privileges:
23 Act of August 3, 1894, amended March 2, 1907, redefined leasing terms, limiting area to 10 acres, or where more than one location was granted one person or concern, not over 20 acres all told. It forbade leasing any natural wonders, or any land within a fixed distance of chief objects.
24 Railway locations, revocable by Congress, granted by acts of March 3, 1877, and Oct. 19, 1888. Another railway right of Dec. 21, 1893, was defaulted. City reservoir site granted by Act of August 7, 1894. An observation tower with elevator, admission 25 cents, leased a site on the mountain under Act of March 19, 1898. Hotel, bath-house, and sanatorium locations allotted, and hot water from springs sold pursuant to sundry acts of Congress.
25 Revocable locations to power-plants, water-supply works, pole lines, conduits, etc. authorized by Act of Feb. 15, 1901, when not deemed "incompatible with the public interest." Hetch-Hetchy storage basin grant to San Francisco made hereunto, May, 1908.
26 Hotel leases unlimited as to area or time. Railways may be built into, not through, park.
27 Mining claims proved in good faith prior to Act of May 27, 1908, may be worked under regulation of department. 178 such claims in park.
28 Mining claims may be located and worked under regulation of department. Such claims do not carry a fee title to land here.
29 Village of Sulphur supplied from creek under department regulation.
30 Establishing act permits renting cavern, the chief natural feature of the park. Mining claims antedating park would be protected.
31A bill introduced in 60th Congress by Secretary of Interior to allow hotel and similar leases failed to become law.
(Bill now pending to create Glacier National Park, Montana, allows 20-year leases for private cottages, and also allows removal of mature timber "for the protection and improvement of the park." No penalties for misdemeanor are provided.)
