 the Interior, may, in granting any exclusive license, prescribe 

 such terms, conditions, and limitations not inconsistent with 

 the provisions of this Act, including a minimum amount of 

 timber to be cut within a specified period or periods of time,

 shall be used under such license except in the development of the 

 claim upon which it is cut. Said license shall specify the kinds 

 and uses of the timber to which it entitles the holder, and the

 ince within which said timber is cut.

 of the Secretary of the Interior, may designate for sale or disposal,

 forest reserves, stone or earth the removal of which will not be 

 detrimental to the public forests or forest reserves or to the 

 interests which depend upon them. The rates of charge shall 

 be determined by him in each case with like approval. 



The Chief of the Bureau of Forestry may, with the approval 

 of the Secretary of the Interior, grant licenses for the removal 

 of such stone or earth, and in such licenses may prescribe such 

 terms, conditions, and limitations, including a minimum amount 

 of stone or earth to be removed within a specified period or periods 

 of time as may be deemed by the Chief of the Bureau of Forestry
