(b) When title to the land being acquired is to be taken in trust for the purchaser and the purchase is effected by deferred payments as authorized in section 3(b) (2) of the Act, a sale contract shall be executed by the purchaser and the Secretary. The down payment shall be not less than $100 or 20 per centum of the purchase price, whichever is less. The purchaser shall be entitled to a credit of a pro rata share of the grazing fees collected by the United States for use of the land during the grazing year in which the sale contract is executed. which credit shall be applied as all or a part of the down payment for the land being purchased.

Upon execution of the contract by the Secretary, a deed shall be prepared and executed by the Secretary conveying title to the land to the United States in trust for the purchaser. When the sale contract and deed are executed, the balance of the proportionate share of the grazing fees, if any, due the purchaser shall be paid to him and the down payment shall be deposited in the U.S. Treasury to the credit of the United States as general fund receipts. All subsequent installment payments shall be deposited in a like manner to the credit of the United States. The sale contract shall include (1) the legal description of the land, (2) the purchase price, (3) the amount of down payment, (4) the amount of annual principal installment payments, (5) the annual rate of interest on unpaid balance, (6) the due dates of annual installments, (7) a recital that the unpaid balance is a lien against the land and against all rents, bonuses and royalties received therefrom, (8) a recital that a delinquency of 90 days in making annual installment payments will subject the contract to foreclosure

with loss of all payments theretofore made thereon, and (9) a recital that upon payment being made in full the deed to the United States in trust for the purchaser will be delivered to the purchaser.

(c) If title to the tract is acquired in a trust status and full payment therefor is made by the purchaser at the time the application for purchase is approved, the title shall be conveyed to the United States of America in trust for the purchaser by a deed executed by the Secretary.

(d) If the purchaser is to acquire the tract in a fee status and the purchase is effected by deferred payments as authorized in section 3(b) (2) of the Act, the title shall be conveyed to the purchaser in a fee status by a deed executed by the Secretary. The purchaser shall execute a mortgage naming the United States as mortgagee and shall execute promissory notes for the annual installment payments with the annual rate of interest set forth therein. The deed and mortgage shall be recorded in the office of the register of deeds of the county in which the land is situated, the recording costs to be borne by the purchaser.

§ 257.8 Selection of lieu lands.

(a) Lieu lands which may be selected for purchase by former Indian owners whose lands are within the boundaries of the area retained for use by the Department of the Air Force or are within the boundaries of the Monument are defined as (1) those lands heretofore acquired by the United States for use of the Air Force Gunnery Range which are outside the boundaries of the Monument and outside the boundaries of the area retained for use by the Department of the Air Force which are not selected for repurchase by former owners within 1 year from date of publication of the notice prescribed in section 3(b) (5) of the Act, and (2) all of the submarginal lands acquired by the United States under authority of the National Industrial Recovery Act of 1933 and subsequent relief acts, within the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, except those submarginal lands within the area retained for use by the Department of the Air Force or within the Monument, administrative jurisdiction over which was transferred to the Secretary of the Interior by Executive Order No. 7368, dated April 15, 1938.

(b) The former Indian owners whose lands are within the boundaries of the area retained for use by the Department of the Air Force or are within the boundaries of the Monument may elect to purchase lieu lands of substantially the same value pursuant to section 4(b) and section 4(c) of the Act. Inasmuch as identification of all of the lands from which lieu selections may be made cannot be determined until the time has expired for former owners of lands outside of the area used by the Department of the Air Force and outside the boundaries of the Monument to purchase the tracts formerly owned by them, former owners who have filed an election to purchase lieu lands within 1 year from the date of publication of the notice prescribed in section 3(b) (5) of the Act, shall be deemed to have filed a timely application to purchase notwithstanding the fact that a specific tract of land has not been designated in said election.

(c) Upon the expiration of 1 year from date of publication of the notice prescribed in section 3(b) (5) of the Act, the Superintendent shall prepare a complete

list of all lands available from which selections of lieu lands may be made. The Superintendent shall also prepare a list of all former owners who elected to purchase lieu lands, numbering them consecutively without regard as to date of receipt of such election. The numbers shall then be placed on separate uniform slips of paper and placed in a bowl. The numbers will then be withdrawn from the bowl and a record made of the order in which they were withdrawn. The owner of the first number withdrawn shall be afforded the first opportunity to select lieu lands. The owners of lands represented by the following numbers will be afforded an opportunity to select lieu lands in the priority in which their numbers were drawn.

(d) When all selections of lieu lands have been made as provided in paragraph (c) of this section, the Secretary shall determine the comparability of the lands originally owned and the lieu selections. If the lieu selections are not substantially the same value as the lands originally owned, the owners shall be afforded an opportunity to make other selections which are substantially the same value.

(e) To determine whether the former Indian owned land and the selected lieu land in each case are of substantially the same value, the consideration paid by the United States for each tract may be accepted as indicative of the value of each tract at the time it was acquired. If information as to the price paid for any specific tract is not available, or if for any reason it is concluded that the consideration paid by the United States for the land is not acceptable evidence as to value for this purpose, the Secretary shall cause the tracts to be appraised to determine their comparability. The appraisals of lands shall be made on the basis of current market values. The lands shall be considered to be substantially the same value if the differences in values do not exceed 10 percent of the greater value. § 257.9

Lands formerly held subject to restrictions against alienation. Former Indian owners who held title to the lands which were acquired for the gunnery range subject to restrictions against alienation without the approval of the Secretary of the Interior shall be conveyed title to the reacquired lands in a trust status in the same manner as though they had held trust title to the lands taken.

This appendix contains citations of Executive orders and acts of Congress continuing the trust or restricted period of Indian land, which would have expired otherwise, within the several Indian reservations in the States named. The asterisk to the left of the name of a reservation indicates that the reservation is subject to the benefits of the Indian Reorganization Act of June 18, 1934 (48 Stat. 984; 25 U. S. C. 461-479), as amended, and as therein provided the trust or restricted period of the land is extended indefinitely. Where the name of a reservation is not preceded by an asterisk, such reservation is not subject

State

to the Reorganization Act and is not subject to the benefits of such indefinite trust or restricted period extension, but such reservation is dependent upon acts of Congress or Executive orders for extension of the trust or restricted period of the land.

For the purpose of insuring the continuation of the trust or restricted status of Indian allotments within Indian reservations not subject to the Reorganization Act, Congress by the act of June 15, 1935 (49 Stat. 378) reimposed such restrictions as may have been expired between the dates of June 18, 1934, and December 31, 1936.
