LANE EXPLANES THE
LEASING LAW FEATURES
Secretary of the Interior Dep ivl
ment Franklin K. Lane before his re
tirement , issued the following statc
ment relative to the new minecal
leusing law:
“Inquiries received in tho Depart
ment show that there is much mis
information abroad relative to the
scope and effect of the mineral leas
ing bill which was approved by the
President February 26. For instance,
many have gained the impression that
leases on proven oil lands of great
value are to be had by the mere fil
ing of an application ahead of any
body else.
“In the first place it should be un
derstood that the proven oil lands of
the government are largely covered by
claims of various kinds that have
been in litigation for some years, and
which claims must be submitted for
adjustment, within six months under
Secs. 18, 18a and 19 of the new law;
until such claims are acted upon,
none of those lands can be leased and
then only to the extent to which
claims are rejected.
“In the next place, under the act,
when the government grants a le*u«j
for either oil or coal land, except
under the relief sections or as the
result of a permit, it will be by com
petitive bidding , of which ample
notice will be given to the public.
“ The only part of the act which is
self-operative, anti with respect to
which a person can take any steps,
leading to the acquirement of any
right, before the regulations of the
department are issued or before the
dpartment has taken the necessary
preliminary steps to offer the lands
for lease, is that portion of Sec. 13
of the act which provides for secur
ing a preference right for oil pros
pecting permit, by posting a notice
on the ground; and this applies to
lands not in the geologic structure of
a producing oil field. These regula
tions are in the hands of the printer.
and will be issued immediately they
arc off the press. Copies may be had
on request from the Commissioner of
the General Land Office.
“There can be no doubt as to .the
very great importance of this legis
lation; it marks a wide departure in
public policy. It opens to devel
opment and use large resources that
have been virtually locked up as a
result of withdrawals or inadequate
laws, and will offer a means of set
tling litigation that has been ponding
for years, with fairness to the liti
gants and the pub^c interests.”
