Superintendent OF the Yosemite National Park hlS
made his annual report to the Secretary OF the IN

that during the last year the park has been kept

finally complied with the law as 10 sheep grazing

durng the year are said to have been infrcqucnt ana
little damage has been caused thereby. Captain
Wood believes that II Is against public policy for the
Government to reassumc title 10 115 various mining
claims within the park. over $jOO0,OOO has been
taken from one Of three mines. lie is OF the OPINION
however that as of the timber claims within tho
park were purchased for speculative purposes, re-
