in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law says the government pays for supplies and extra office space needed to survey mineral lands. It uses a special fund built from fees that individuals pay the government to cover that survey work.

The Secretary of the Interior, or officers the Secretary picks, prepares plats and field notes for mineral surveys. Any stationery and drafting tools bought for that work on or after March 3, 1901, plus rent for any extra office space the work needs, gets paid for out of a special fund. That fund is made up of deposits individuals pay to the United States to cover the cost of the government's office work on their mineral surveys.
