         CHAPTER 10--DESCENT AND DISTRIBUTION; HEIRS OF ALLOTTEE
 
Sec. 380. Lease of inherited allotments by superintendent

    Restricted allotments of deceased Indians may be leased, except for 
oil and gas mining purposes, by the superintendents of the reservation 
within which the lands are located (1) when the heirs or devisees of 
such decedents have not been determined and (2) when the heirs or 
devisees of the decedents have been determined, and such lands are not 
in use by any of the heirs and the heirs have not been able during a 
three-months' period to agree upon a lease by reason of the number of 
the heirs, their absence from the reservation, or for other cause, under 
such rules and regulations as the Secretary of the Interior may 
prescribe. The proceeds derived from such leases shall be credited to 
the estates or other accounts of the individuals entitled thereto in 
accordance with their respective interests.
