provided in said act of Congress,
which declares:

The lands so set apart and designated shall, in advance of the opening,
be surveyed, subdivided, and platted, under the direction of the
Secretary of the Interior, into appropriate lots, blocks, streets,
alleys, and sites for parks or public buildings, so as to make a
townsite thereof: _Provided_, That no person shall purchase more than
one business and one residence lot. Such town lots shall be offered
and sold at public auction to the highest bidder, under the direction
of the Secretary of the Interior, at sales to be had at the opening
and subsequent thereto.

All persons are especially admonished that under the said act of
Congress approved March 3, 1901, it is provided that no person shall
be permitted to settle upon, occupy, or enter any of said ceded lands
except in the manner prescribed in this proclamation until after the
expiration of sixty days from the time when the same are opened to
settlement and entry. After the expiration of the said period of sixty
days, but not before, any of said lands remaining undisposed of may be
settled upon, occupied and entered under the general provisions of the
homestead and townsite laws of the United States in like manner as if
the manner of effecting such settlement, occupancy and entry had not
been prescribed herein in obedience to law.

It appearing that there are fences around the pastures into which, for
convenience, portions of the ceded lands have heretofore been divided,
and that these fences are of considerable value and are still the
property of the Indian tribes ceding said lands to the United States,
all persons going upon examining, entering or settling upon any of
said lands are cautioned to respect such fences as the property of the
Indians and not to destroy, appropriate, or carry away the same, but
to leave them undisturbed so that they may be seasonably removed and
preserved for the benefit of the Indians.

The Secretary of the Interior shall prescribe all needful rules and
regulations necessary to carry into full effect the opening herein
provided for.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.

Done at the city of Washington this 4th day of July, A.D. 1901, and of
the Independence of the United States the one hundred and twenty-sixth.
