Codification Act Aug. 24, 1912, substituted “metalliferous minerals” for “minerals other than coal, oil, gas, and phosphates” in the first clause of this section, and “June 25, 1910” for “the passage of this Act” in the second proviso of this section. In the last proviso of this section, “national forest” substituted for “forest reserve”, in view of act Mar. 4, 1907, ch. 2907, 34 Stat. 1269, providing that forest reserves should be known as national forests. The provisions of the last proviso of this section were also classified to section 471 of Title 16, Conservation.

L. 94579 struck out provisions that all lands withdrawn under the act of June 25, 1910, be open to exploration, occupation, and purchase under the mineral laws of the United States in respect to minerals other than coal, oil, gas, and phosphates and that no national forest be created or additions thereto made to those created before Aug. 24, 1912, in Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Colorado, or Wyoming, except by Act of Congress.
