SUMMARY
Amends the Act of June 25, 1910 (36 Stat. 847) to make the lands withdrawn open to mining of "metalliferous minerals," and adds California to the list of states within which new or additional forest reserve lands (national forests) are forbidden.

NOTES
36 Stat. 847 had authorized the President to withdraw public lands from entry for specified purposes. See also the portion of the Agricultural Appropriations Act passed in 1907 which forbids Presidential withdrawal of lands for forestry purposes in specified states (34 Stat. 1269).

An example of continued regional and inter-governmental tensions over conservation policy (especially forestry).

Published 1913.
