RESTORATION OF DECEMBER 18, 1911. DECEMBER 15, 1911. The Honorable, SIR: The SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR. Under dates of October 13, 1911, and October 16, 1911, the General Land Office requested that the lands listed below, now included in Petroleum Reserve No. 19Wyoming No. 4,1 be restored in order to permit the correction of the patent of William Denecke so as to include these lands, Denecke having been in possession and control thereof since April 20, 1911, but the patent given by him having erroneously described the SE. of NW. †, SW. † of NE. 1, Sec. 29, of the same township. The probability of occurrence of oil is no greater with respect to the land occupied by Denecke than with respect to the land to which patent has been granted him. In order, therefore, that the desired correction may be made in the patent, I recommend the submission to the President of the following order of restoration involving 80 acres, which will leave a total area of petroleum withdrawals outstanding in Wyoming of 398,402 acres. These lands are not included in power-site reserves or in national forests. Very respectfully, DECEMBER 16, 1911. Respectfully referred to the President with favorable recommendation.

Respectfully referred to the President with favorable recommendation. SAMUEL ADAMS Acting Secretary. ORDER OF RESTORATION. PETROLEUM RESTORATION NO. 11-CALIFORNIA NO. 6. It is hereby ordered that so much of the orders of withdrawal made heretofore as affects the land hereinafter described be, and the same is hereby revoked, for the reason that the Director of the Geological Survey reports that this land is not valuable for the purpose for which withdrawn. And it is further ordered that all such lands not otherwise reserved or withdrawn, are hereby restored to the public domain and shall become subject to settlement and entry under the laws applicable thereto upon such date and after such notice as may be determined upon by the Secretary of the Interior. Recent developments along the edge of the San Joaquin Valley, California, indicate that oil may be obtained farther out from the hills than was suspected at the time of the field examination in this vicinity. I therefore recommend the submission to the President for appropriate action of the following order of withdrawal involving 1,196 acres. This order includes no lands covered by enlarged homestead designations. It is hereby ordered that all public lands included in the following list be, and the same are hereby withdrawn from settlement, location, sale, or entry, and reserved for classification and in aid of legislation affecting the use and disposal of petroleum lands belonging to the United States, subject to all of the limitations, provisions, exceptions, and conditions contained in the act of Congress entitled "An act to authorize the President of the United States to make withdrawals of public lands in certain cases, approved June 25, 1910. |
