Sec. 380. Lease of inherited allotments by superintendent
Restricted allotments of deceased Indians may be leased, except for

such decedents have not been determined and (2) when the heirs or
devisees of the decedents have been determined, and such lands are not
in use by any of the heirs and the heirs have not been able during a

the heirs, their absence from the reservation, or for other cause, under
such rules and regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may
prescribe. The proceeds derived from such leases shall be credited to
the estates or other accounts of the individuals entitled thereto in
