Interior dept blocks Indian land patent sales under Jones bill
No more patents to Indians selling entire allotments will be considered. The interior department, per Superintendent Lynch, follows the Jones bill limiting sales to 60 acres of a 160 acre allotment. Past practices of issuing direct patents to Indians faltered as funds were squandered, prompting caution. Five year leases must not allow cancellation on April dates. Hope rises with the Jones minor bill and renewed interior activity on the reservation.
