   CHAPTER 1--NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES
 
           SUBCHAPTER VI--SEQUOIA AND YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARKS
 
Sec. 43. Sequoia National Park; rules and regulations; leases; 
        fish and game; trespassers
        
    Sequoia National Park shall be under the exclusive control of the 
Secretary of the Interior, whose duty it shall be to make and publish 
such rules and regulations as he may deem necessary or proper for the 
care and management of the same. Such regulations shall provide for the 
preservation from injury of all timber, mineral deposits, natural 
curiosities or wonders within said park, and their retention in their 
natural condition. He may, in his discretion, grant leases for building 
purposes for terms not exceeding thirty years of small parcels of ground 
not exceeding five acres, at such places in said park as shall require 
the erection of buildings for the accommodation of visitors. He shall 
provide against the wanton destruction of the fish and game found within 
said park, and against their capture or destruction, for the purposes of 
merchandise or profit. He shall also cause all persons trespassing upon 
the same to be removed therefrom, and, generally, shall be authorized to 
take all such measures as shall be necessary or proper to fully carry 
out the objects and purposes of this section and section 41 of this 
title.

(Sept. 25, 1890, ch. 926, Sec. 2, 26 Stat. 478; Aug. 25, 1916, ch. 408, 
Sec. 3, 39 Stat. 535; Pub. L. 85-434, May 29, 1958, 72 Stat. 152.)

                          Codification

    ``Thirty years'' substituted for ``ten years'' in view of section 3 
of act Aug. 25, 1916, and act May 29, 1958, which authorized the 
Secretary to grant privileges, leases, and permits in the various parks 
for periods not exceeding thirty years. See section 3 of this title.
    As originally enacted, this section contained a further provision 
that ``all of the proceeds of said leases and other revenues that may be 
derived from any source connected with said park to be expended under 
his [Secretary of the Interior] direction in the management of the same 
and the construction of roads and paths therein''. This provision was 
superseded by section 452 of this title providing for the disposition of 
all revenues from the national parks.

                  Section Referred to in Other Sections

    This section is referred to in sections 41, 45f of this title.
