THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
A statement that the Yellowstone Park
Summer Resort Company has released the
greater portion of the Yellowstone Park,
and proposes to build a number OF notes,
has been the subject of much talk In the
Interior Department by those directly IN,
terested in land matters. The attention OF
Secretary Teller being called to the. mat
ter, he said he had not leased the park, nor
had he the right to do So. What he mad
done was to grant permission to company
to build a hotel in the park and to occupy
twenty acres of ground, with the provisoo
that the Secretary of the Interior should
have the right to regulate the prices
charged to visitors in order to prevent I'M.

go there and build hotels they could get 1t
ON exactly the same terms granted the COM
pany above named. The Secretary said so
many tourists visited the National Park ev-
cry year that the building of hotels there
would be of great benefit, and therefore he
had granted permission to company to oc-
cupy limited number of acres at mere
nominal rent. Congress had set apart the
Yellowstone Park as q national park, ana

Chief Engineer Melville, with his COM

when few steps away as If staggered by
the sight before him and then ran forward
and shook the hand of the engineer. The

gree OF warmth and shade passed oyer his

his hand over the wheel to the happy Ce-

THE NEW GOLD CERTIFICATES.
In anticipation of very heavy demand
for the new gold certificates, the Treasury
is printing 500, 000, 900 as the first INSTALL
ment, and these will be ready for circula-
ton within. very few days, The notes
are trifle larger than the legal-tender
notes and not dissimilar in general appear
ance, except that the tinting of some of the
letters is in gold The $50 notes (the small
est issued) have an excellent vignette of the
late President Garfield; the $50 notes, one
Wright. vim fa
OF Thomas III. BentOn the $500 notes, that
of President Lincoln; the $1,000 note, of
Alexander Hamilton; the $1,000 note, of
James Madison, and the $4,000 note of
Thomas Jefferson. There are Treasury Of
ticials who believe that the gold certificates
Will in short time be at premium, basing
their belief upon the suppOsition that the
noteS will circulate around in lieu of the
coin itself, and reasoning thus, they say
that the noteSwill be in such demand that
large amount of legal tender notes will be
turned into the Treasury i'm exchange for
gold, which will at once be given up for the
gold certificates. This will, it is thought,
result in reducing the amount of gold held
one hundred millions when under the law
the issuance of gold certificates must cease.
