any abandoned agency buildings, situated on lands belonging to any
Indian tribe and not longer needed for Indian or administrative
purposes, and to sell therewith not to exceed one hundred and sixty
acres of land on which such plant or buildings may stand. Title to all
lands disposed of under the provisions of this section shall pass to the
purchaser by deed or by patent in fee, with such reservations or

Provided, That the proceeds of all such sales shall be deposited in the
Treasury of the United States to the credit of the Indians to whom said
lands belong, to be disposed of in accordance with existing law.
