of ores including the taking of mineral deposits and timber required by 
or in the mining and ore reducing operations, and no permit shall be 
required or charge made for such use or occupancy: Provided, however, 
That the cutting and removal of timber, except where clearing is

buildings or structures used in connection with mining operations, shall 
be conducted in accordance with the rules for timber cutting on 
adjoining national-forest land, and no use of the surface of the claim 
or the resources therefrom not reasonably required for carrying on 
mining and prospecting shall be allowed except under the national-forest 
rules and regulations, nor shall the locator prevent or obstruct other 
occupancy of the surface or use of surface resources under authority of 
national-forest regulations, or permits issued thereunder, if such 
occupancy or use is not in conflict with mineral development.
