      Whenever all privately owned lands except mining claims within
    the following-described area have been purchased and acquired as
    authorized in sections 463b and 463c of this title, the boundary of
    the Papago Indian Reservation in Arizona shall be extended to
    include the west half of section 4; west half of section 9,
    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

    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

    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.
