sary implication from the language or
the statute. the power Of the Secretary
to carry out such limitations by his
regulations would be undouhted. hut
" here the question. arises, AS here, in
a criminal proceeding. in my opinion
there must he a clear and necessary
inference from the language Of the
act that the number Of permits shall

he held guilty Of 2 criminal CONSPIRACY
to obtain a greater number Of permits
than allowed by the act.
Nor do | think that upon fair
construction of the act is there any
purpose on the part of Congress
shown to limit the number OF permits.
1t expressly limits the number ot
leases. and While providing that a
permit NAV ripen into a lease, the
latter provision does not necessarily
limit The number of permits. With this
in mind. it is difficult 10 conceive how
the Government could he defrauded
by the issuance Of any number ot per
mitS 10 any individual willing 10 eN-
tend the time and money in prospect
ing for gas and oil upon the chaDc"
Of discovering their existence in pay

greater the number Of such prospect
ing undertakings. the greater the aid
vantage to the Government.
Where Congress intended to limit
the number Of permits it did 50 eN
pressly. In section -. the number Of
permits to he issued to any applicant
in Alaska is expressly limited To five.
So. under section > of the act. where
the Secretary is authorized to issue
prospecting permits for coal deposits.
"A common carrier is expressly limited
to one permit ar lease for every 200
miles of its railroad.
1T is clear that the Secretary of
the Interior cannot by his regulations
go beyond this statute and deny to
applicants rights given them by the
statute"
