The Secretary of the Interior may lease land for mining if that land sits on an Indian reservation and is reserved for agency or school purposes. This lease must happen at a public auction, after at least 30 days' public notice. It must otherwise follow the same rules that apply to leasing other land on that reservation. The money this leasing earns goes into the Treasury, credited to the Indians the land was reserved to benefit. Congress can appropriate this money for educating Indians or for covering the cost of running Indian agencies. Every lease under this section must reserve a royalty of at least one-eighth of what is produced.
