TITLE 16--CONSERVATION
CHAPTER 1--NATIONAL PARKS, MILITARY PARKS, MONUMENTS, AND SEASHORES
SUBCHAPTER XVI--CESSION OF INDIAN LANDS AT SULPHUR, OKLAHOMA
Sec. 152. Additional land withdrawn; payment; management and
control; regulations; sale of improvements; penalties; town lots
The Secretary of the Interior is authorized and directed to withhold
from sale or other disposition the irregular tract of land containing
seventy-eight and sixty-eight one-hundredths acres, more or less, lying
in the northwest quarter of section 2 and the northeast quarter of
section 3, township 1 south, range 3 east, and being within the exterior
boundaries of the proposed town site of Sulphur, in the Chickasaw
Nation, Indian Territory, and excluded from said town site by order of
the Secretary of the Interior, of October 20, 1903, and also to withdraw
and withhold from disposition the tract of land within the exterior
boundaries of said proposed town site, lying south of and adjacent to
the tract above mentioned, containing in the aggregate one hundred and
thirty-eight acres, more or less, and mentioned in the report of Gerard
H. Matthes, of December 27, 1903, to F. H. Newell, chief engineer United
States Geological Survey, and shown upon the map accompanying said
report by a yellow line.
The land reserved shall be paid for by the United States at the rate
of $60 per acre and in the same manner as the land acquired in
accordance with the provisions of section 151 of this title and shall be
a part of the reservation established at the village of Sulphur, subject
to all the provisions of said section 151, respecting the care, control,
direction, use, and occupancy thereof as if they had been included in
the original segregation. The Secretary of the Interior is authorized,
in the absence of other provisions for the care and management thereof,
to designate an officer or employee of his department to take charge of
the land, acquired under this section and section 151 of this title, and
to enforce rules and regulations for the control and use thereof, and of
the waters of the springs and creeks within the reservation. The
Secretary of the Interior is authorized, in his discretion, to sell or
dispose of any buildings upon the land reserved, and all money received
from such sales, or that may be realized for the use of said waters or
for the use and occupancy of the land or the buildings thereon, through
leases, permits, or otherwise, shall be covered into the Treasury of the
United States to the credit of miscellaneous receipts. If any person,
firm, or corporation shall willfully violate any of the rules and
regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior relative to the
use of the waters of said springs and creeks and the use and occupation
of the lands in said reservation, such person, firm, corporation, or
members or agents thereof, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and
upon conviction shall be fined not less than $5 and not more than $100,
and may be imprisoned for a term of not more than six months for each
offense.

Codification
A clause of the original text making an appropriation to carry out
this provision and a provision for appraisement of and payment for all
improvements upon the land have been omitted as executed.
Provisions requiring the Secretary to cover all money received into
the Treasury to the credit of miscellaneous receipts were substituted
for provisions which permitted the expenditure of such money under the
direction of the Secretary for the care and management of the lands and
the preservation of the improvements thereon in view of act June 12,
1917, which required the Secretary to cover the receipts of all revenues
of the national parks into the Treasury to the credit of miscellaneous
receipts.
Change of Name
Platt National Park designation repealed and areas formerly known as
Platt National Park made an integral part of Chickasaw National
Recreation Area by Pub. L. 94-235, Sec. 5. See section 460hh-4 of this
title.
Repeals
Pub. L. 94-235, Sec. 5, repealed act June 29, 1906, No. 42, 34 Stat.
837, cited as a credit to this section, under which the name of the
reservation at the village of Sulphur established by section 151 of this
title, known as Sulphur Springs Reservation, had been renamed Platt
National Park in honor of Orville Hitchcock Platt, former senator from
Connecticut ``and for many years a member of the Committee on Indian
Affairs, in recognition of his distinguished services to the Indians and
the country.''
