A careful consideration of the data gathered by the Geological Survey during field investigations indicates that the lands in north-central Wyoming hereinafter listed do not contain valuable deposits of oil or gas.

These lands are not included in coal, potash, or power-site reserves or in national forests, but parts of them are included in phosphate reserves.

Respectfully,
