Sec.  2623.2  Claims protected.



    (a) Valid applications, claims, or rights protected by the 

provisions of subsection (c) of section 1 of the Act of January 25, 

1927, include applications, entries, selections, locations, permits, 

leases, and other forms of filing, initiated or held pursuant to 

existing laws of the United States prior to January 25, 1927, embracing 

known mineral school-section lands then surveyed and otherwise within 

the terms of the additional grant, and as to lands thereafter surveyed, 

valid applications, claims, or rights so initiated or held prior to the 

date of the acceptance of the survey. The additional grant to the State 

will attach upon the effective date of the relinquishment or 

cancellation of any claim, so asserted, in the absence of any other 

valid existing claim for the land and if same be then surveyed. Should 

the validity of any such claim be questioned by the State, proceedings 

with respect thereto by protest, contest, hearing, etc., will be had in 

the form and manner prescribed by existing rules governing such cases. 

This procedure will be followed in the matter of all protests, contests, 

or claims filed by individuals, associations, or corporations against 

the States affecting school-section lands.
