Sec. 482c. Patents affecting forest lands
On and after May 11, 1934, all patents issued under the United
States mining laws affecting lands within the Mount Hood National Forest
within the State of Oregon shall convey title to the mineral deposits
within the claim, together with the right to cut and remove so much of
the timber therefrom as may be needed in extracting and removing the
mineral deposits, if the timber is cut under sound principles of forest
management as defined by the national-forest rules and regulations, but
each patent shall reserve to the United States all title in or to the
surface of the lands and products thereof, and no use of the surface of
the claim or the resources therefrom not reasonably required for

rules and regulations of the Forest Service.
