Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report on Wind Cave, Crater Lake, Sullys Hill, and Platt National Parks, Casa Grande Ruin and Minnesota National Forest Reserve: 1908, Complied in the Office of the Secretary of the Interior By the act of Congress approved January 9, 1903 (32 Stat., 765); a tract of land containing 10,522 acres in the State of South Dakota, 12 miles east of the town of Hot Springs and the same distance southeast of Custer, was reserved and withdrawn from settlement, entry, sale, and other disposition, and set apart as a public park, to be known as the "Wind Cave National Park." The park is placed under the exclusive control of the Secretary of the Interior, who, among other things, is authorized to prescribe rules and regulations and establish such service as may be deemed necessary in its management and protection, and, in his discretion, to rent or lease the cave from which the park takes its name, and also parcels of land for the erection of buildings for the accommodation of visitors. The fund arising from such rentals is covered into the Treasury and made available for expenditure in the care and improvement of the park. At the time of the creation of the Dark there were 10 entries covering lands therein, aggregating 1,519.15 acres, 5 of which, covering 799.76 acres, have since been canceled, and the remaining 5 entries have been found proper in all respects and patents issued therefor, as follows: NE. 1/4 NW. 1/4 and NW. 1/4 NE. 1/4, sec. 35, T. 5 S., R. 5 E., Black Hills meridian; Jonathan C. West: F. C. 3003, patented December 31, 1904; 80 acres. SE. 1/2 NE. 1/4 and lots 1 and 2, sec. 2, T. 6 S., R. 5 E.; George A. Stabler; F. C. 2666; patented September 11, 1905: 159.39 acres. SE. 1/4, Sec. 2, same township and range; Susanna D. McDonald; C. E. 3770; patented December 10, 1895; 160 acres. NE. 1/4, sec. 11, same township and range; Kate M. Stabler; F. C. 2600; patented September 26, 1902; 160 acres. NW. 1/4, sec. 12, same township and range; Margarethe Drenkhahn; F. C. 2434; patented May 8, 1901; 160 acres. This gives a total of 719.39 acres for patented lands remaining in the park, which, for administrative purposes, should be eliminated through appropriation by Congress for their purchase. The State of South Dakota has completed making lieu selections of lands outside the park for school sections 16 and 36, located within the reservation, granted by the statehood act of February 20, 1899 (25 Stat., 676).
