The bill provides the following relief
for claimants within the naval reserve:

50,OOO,000 acres of oil, gas, coal,
phosphates and sodium public lands may
be opened for prospecting under leas-
ing and patent sytem, which, according
to Senator Pittman, chairman of the
senate managers, also will bring about
settlements of the dispute over the
development Of the California and Wyo-
ming naval oil reserves.
The principles involved in the bill have
been under discussion in congress for
four years and have been the subject
of constant disagreement between the
house and senate and Representatives of
the various executive departments who
would be called upon to administer the
act.
