        control; regulations; sale of improvements; penalties; town lots
        
    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.

                          Codification

    A clause of the original text making an appropriation to carry out 
this provision and a provision for appraisement of and payment for all 
improvements upon the land have been omitted as executed.
    Provisions requiring the Secretary to cover all money received into 
the Treasury to the credit of miscellaneous receipts were substituted 
for provisions which permitted the expenditure of such money under the 
direction of the Secretary for the care and management of the lands and 
the preservation of the improvements thereon in view of act June 12, 
1917, which required the Secretary to cover the receipts of all revenues 
of the national parks into the Treasury to the credit of miscellaneous 
receipts.

                         Change of Name

    Platt National Park designation repealed and areas formerly known as 
Platt National Park made an integral part of Chickasaw National 
Recreation Area by Pub. L. 94-235, Sec. 5. See section 460hh-4 of this 
title.


                                 Repeals

    Pub. L. 94-235, Sec. 5, repealed act June 29, 1906, No. 42, 34 Stat.
