Three years for grazing purposes, ten
years for agricultural purposes and fif-
teen years for mineral purposes; nor
will any lease be approved that is exe-
cuted prior to the date the allottee made

allotted to him. All leases must be in
quadruplicate, one part to be filed in the
office of the commissioner of Indian af-
fairs, one with the agent of the union
agency, one to be delivered to the lessee,
and one to the lessor.
“3. All leases must accurately de-
scribe the lands, specify the rents or
royalties and when the same are to be
paid and they must contain a provision
to the effect that if the lessee shall fail
to pay the rents or royalties or any part
thereof when dne, or shall fail to faith-
fully comply wilb the terms and condi-
tions of the lease, such failure shall con-
stitute a forfeiture of the lease and nil

••6. In cases when* th® lands **in-
tirarod in a leas® w* r# inherited from
ono who died after the allotment wn*
mad** to him, such !«*»»*« must lie accom-
panied by a certificate sigm**l by two of-
ficials of tho trilic or tuiml of which such
allottee was a member or by two ot
more reliable members of the tribe set
ting forth tlrnt the allottee to whom the
land was originally allotted is <leu*l. giv-
ing as nearly ns possible tho date of
death. Such certificate shall also show
tho names anil ng**s of tho heirs, adult?
nml minors of such deceased allottee,
but tho department reserves the right tc
require if in its judgment it shall bo
considered necessary, snch further nml
additional evidence rclntivo to tho heir-
ship ns may bo doomed pro|H*r. If the
persons who certify to the dentil of the j
allottee are from their own knowledge
unable to certify ns to who are the heirs,
with theirs names and nges, of snch de-
ceased allottees, an additional certifi-
cate made by persons of ono of the two
classes heroin specified, showing who
are the heirs and giving their names and
ages, adults and minors, must bo fur-
nished.
“7. In cases where the lands em-
braced in a lease have descended to the
heirs of a citizen who died before re-
ceiving an allotment, snch lease must
be accompanied by a certificate signed
by two officials of the tribe or band of
which such citizen was a member or by
two or more reliable members of the
tribe, setting forth the names and ages
of the heirs, adults and minors of such
deceasod citizen, the department reserv-
ing the right to require additional evi-
dence, as provided in Section 6 hereof.
•‘8. If there shall have been or shall
hereafter be probate or other court pro-
ceedings establishing who aro the heirs
of snch deceased allottee a certified copy
of the final order, judgment, or decree
of the court showing and determining
such heirship, must be furnished, but
where such court proceedings havo not
been had, a compliance with the re-
quirements of the provisions of Section
6 and 7 hereof, as the case may be, will
be sufficient to establish heirship.
“9. Lease to which minors are par-
ties grantor must be made by a guardian
and the lease must be accompanied by
certified copies of the orders of the
proper court appointing the guardian
and authorizing him to make such
lease.
- “10. Where leases cover lands al-
lotted to a deceased allottee or a de-
ceased citizen, the Indian agent in re-
porting will be careful to show the re-
lationship as shown by tho records of
the Commission to the Five Civilized
Tribes existing between snch deceased
allottee or deceased citizen and tho par-
ties grantor to the lease.
