Whenever all privately owned lands except mining claims within
the following-described area have been purchased and acquired as

township 17 south, range 8 east; all of township 18 south, range 2
west, all of fractional township 19 south, range 2 west; and all of
fractional townships 18 and 19 south, range 3 west, except sections
6, 7, 18, 19, 30, and 31 in township 18 south, range 3 west, Gila
and Salt River meridian. This extension shall not affect any valid

(35 Stat. 2136). The lands herein described when added to the
Papago Indian Reservation as provided in sections 463a to 463c of
this title shall become a part of said reservation in all respects
and upon all the same terms as if said lands had been included in
the Executive order issued by the President on February 1, 1917:
Provided, That lands acquired under sections 463a to 463c of this
title shall remain tribal lands and shall not be subject to
allotment to individual Indians.
