U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 380. Lease of inherited allotments by superintendent
Restricted allotments of deceased Indians may be leased, except
for oil and gas mining purposes, by the superintendents of the
reservation within which the lands are located (1) when the heirs
or devisees of such decedents have not been determined and (2) when
the heirs or devisees of the decedents have been determined, and
such lands are not in use by any of the heirs and the heirs have
not been able during a three-months' period to agree upon a lease
by reason of the number of the heirs, their absence from the
reservation, or for other cause, under such rules and regulations
as the Secretary of the Interior may prescribe. The proceeds
derived from such leases shall be credited to the estates or other
accounts of the individuals entitled thereto in accordance with
their respective interests.
