Sec. 401. Leases for mining purposes of unallotted lands in Kaw
Reservation
The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to lease for mining
purposes lands reserved from allotment to be used as a cemetery and not
needed for that purpose, and lands reserved for school and agency
purposes in the Kaw Reservation in the State of Oklahoma, and for the
use and benefit of the members of the Kansas or Kaw Tribe of Indians, at
public auction, upon such terms and conditions and under such rules and
regulations as he may prescribe: Provided, That the production of oil
and gas and other minerals on such lands may be taxed by the State in
which said lands are located in all respects the same as production on
unrestricted lands, and the Secretary of the Interior is hereby
authorized and directed to cause to be paid the tax so assessed against
the royalty interests on said lands: Provided, however, That such tax
shall not become a lien or charge of any kind or character against the
land or the property of the Indian owner.
