embraced in the prospecting permit:
Provided, That the permittee shall be
granted a lease for as much as 160
•
acres of said lands, if there be that
number of acres within the permit.
The area to be selected by the per
mittee shall be in compact’ form and,
if surveyed, to be described by the
legal subdivisions of the public land
surveys; if unsurveyed, to be sur
veyed by the government at the ex
pense of the applicant for lease in ac
cordance w’ith rules and regulations
to be prescribed by the secretary of
the interior, and the lands leased
shall be conformed to and taken in ac
cordance with the legal subdivisions
of such surveys; deposits made to
cover expense of surveys shall be
deemed appropriated for that purpose,
and any excess deposits may be repaid
to the person or persons making such
deposit or their legal representatives.
Such leases shall be for a term of
twenty years upon a royalty of 5 per
centum in amount or value of the pro
duction, and the annual payment in
advance of a rental of $1 per acre, the
rental paid for any one year to be
credited against the royalties as they
accrue for that year, writh the right of
renewal as prescribed in section 17
hereof. The permittee shall also be
entitled to a preference right to a
lease for the remainder of the land in
his prospecting permit at a royalty of
not less than 12 y2 per centum in
amount nr value nf the nrndimtinn

and under such other conditions as

act, the royalty to be determined by

other method as the secretary may by
regulations prescribe: Provided, That
the secretary shall have the right to
reject any or all bids.
“Sec. 15. That until the permittee
shall apply for lease to the one-quar
ter of the permit area heretofore pro
vided for he shall pay to the United j
States 20 per centum of the gross
value of all oil or gas secured by him
from the lands embraced within his
permit and sold or otherwise disposed
of or held by him for sale or other
disposition.
“Sec. 16. That all permits and
leases of lands containing oil or gas
made or issued under the provisions
of this act shall be subject to the con
dition that no wells shall be drilled
within two hundred feet of any of the
outer boundaries of the lands so per
mitted or leased, unless the adjoin
ing lands have been patented or the
title thereto otherwise vested in pri
vate owners, and to the further condi
tion that the permittee or lessee will,
in conducting his explorations and
mining operations, use all reasonable
precautions to prevent waste of oil or
gas developed in the land, or the en
trance of water through wells driven
by him to the oil sands or oil-bearing
strata, to the destruction or injury
of the oil deposits. Violations of the
provisions of this section shall con
stitute grounds for the forfeiture of
the permit or lease, to be enforced

courts of competent jurisdiction.
“Sec. 17. That all unappropriated

the known geologic structure of a pro
ducing oil or gas field apd the un

ulations to qualified applicants in

tracts which shall not exceed in length
two and one-half times their width,

payment by the lessee of such bonus
as may be accepted and of such roy
alty as may be fixed in the lease,

erential right in the lessee to renew
the same for successive periods of ten
years upon such reasonable terms and
conditions as may be prescribed by
the secretary of the interior, unless
otherwise provided by law at the time
of the expiration of such periods.
Whenever the average daily produc
tion of any oil well shall not exceed
ten barrels per day, the secretary of
the interior is authorized to reduce
the royalty on future production when
in his judgment the wells can not be
successfully operated on the royalty
fixed in the lease. The provisions ot
this paragraph shall apply to all oil
and gas leases made under this act.
