from settlement, occupancy, or sale under the laws of the United States,
and set apart as reserved forest lands; and all persons who shall locate
or settle upon, or occupy the same or any part thereof, except as
hereinafter provided, shall be considered trespassers and removed
therefrom. Nothing in this section and sections 55, 61, and 471d of this
title shall be construed as in anywise affecting any bona fide entry of
land made within the limits above described under any law of the United
States prior to October 1, 1890.
(Oct. 1, 1890, ch. 1263, Sec. 1, 26 Stat. 650.)
Codification
Section was formerly set out as section 44 of this title. As
originally enacted, this section contained two further provisions that
``nothing in this act shall be construed as in any wise affecting the
grant of lands made to the State of California by virtue of the act
entitled `An act authorizing a grant to the State of California of the
Yosemite Valley, and of the land' embracing the Mariposa Big-Tree Grove,
approved June thirtieth, eighteen hundred and sixty-four; or as
affecting any bona-fide entry of land made within the limits above
described under any law of the United States prior to the approval of
this act.'' The first quoted provision was omitted from the Code because
the land, granted to the state of California pursuant to the Act cited,
was receded to the United States. Resolution June 11, 1906, No. 27,
accepted the recession.
Section Referred to in Other Sections
This section is referred to in sections 46, 48, 51, 471d of this
title.
