Sec. 86. Disposition of lands in Indian reservations with
reservation of coal; examination and appraisal of lands
In any Indian reservation opened to settlement and entry pursuant to
a classification of the surplus lands therein as mineral and nonmineral,
such surplus lands not otherwise reserved or disposed of, which have
been or may be withdrawn or classified as coal lands or are valuable for
coal deposits, shall be subject to the same disposition as is or may be
prescribed by law for the nonmineral lands in such reservation whenever
proper application shall be made with a view of obtaining title to such
lands, with a reservation to the United States of the coal deposits
therein and of the right to prospect for, mine, and remove the same.
Such surplus lands, prior to any disposition hereunder, shall be
examined, separated into classes the same as are the nonmineral lands in
such reservations, and appraised, as to their value, exclusive of the
coal deposits therein, under such rules and regulations as shall be
prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior for that purpose.
