Sec. 482c. Patents affecting forest lands

    On and after May 11, 1934, all patents issued under the United 
States mining laws affecting lands within the Mount Hood National Forest 
within the State of Oregon shall convey title to the mineral deposits 
within the claim, together with the right to cut and remove so much of 
the timber therefrom as may be needed in extracting and removing the 
mineral deposits, if the timber is cut under sound principles of forest 
management as defined by the national-forest rules and regulations, but 
each patent shall reserve to the United States all title in or to the 
surface of the lands and products thereof, and no use of the surface of 
the claim or the resources therefrom not reasonably required for 
carrying on mining or prospecting shall be allowed except under the 
rules and regulations of the Forest Service.
