-STATUTE-
The Choctaw and Chickasaw Tribes absolutely and unqualifiedly
relinquish, cede, and convey unto the United States a tract or
tracts of land at and in the vicinity of the village of Sulphur, in
the Chickasaw Nation, of not exceeding six hundred and forty acres,
to be selected, under the direction of the Secretary of the
Interior, and to embrace all the natural springs in and about said
village, and so much of Sulphur Creek, Rock Creek, Buckhorn Creek,
and the lands adjacent to said natural springs and creeks as may be
deemed necessary by the Secretary of the Interior for the proper
utilization and control of said springs and the waters of said
creeks, which lands shall be so selected as to cause the least
interference with the contemplated town site at that place
consistent with the purposes for which said cession is made. The
ceded lands shall be held, owned, and controlled by the United
States absolutely and without any restriction, save that no part
thereof shall be platted or disposed of for town-site purposes
during the existence of the two tribal governments. There shall be
deposited in the Treasury of the United States, to the credit of
the two tribes, from the unappropriated public moneys of the United
States, $20 per acre for each acre so selected, which shall be in
full compensation for the lands so ceded, and such moneys shall,
upon the dissolution of the tribal governments, be divided per
capita among the members of the tribes, freedmen excepted, as are
other funds of the tribes. Until otherwise provided by law, the
Secretary of the Interior may, under rules prescribed for that
purpose, regulate and control the use of the water of said springs
and creeks and the temporary use and occupation of the lands so
ceded. No person shall occupy any portion of the lands so ceded, or
carry on any business thereon, except as provided in said rules,
and until otherwise provided by Congress the laws of the United
States relating to the introduction, possession, sale, and giving
away of liquors or intoxicants of any kind within the Indian
country or Indian reservations shall be applicable to the lands so
ceded. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed or held
to commit the Government of the United States to any expenditure of
money upon said lands or the improvements thereof, except as
provided herein, it being the intention of this provision that in
the future the lands and improvements herein mentioned shall be
conveyed by the United States to such Territorial or State
organization as may exist at the time when such conveyance is made.

Sec. 152. Additional land withdrawn; payment; management and

-STATUTE-
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.
