The land reserved shall be paid for by the United States at the
rate of $60 per acre and in the same manner as the land acquired in
accordance with the provisions of section 151 of this title and
shall be a part of the reservation established at the village of
Sulphur, subject to all the provisions of said section 151,
respecting the care, control, direction, use, and occupancy thereof
as if they had been included in the original segregation. The
Secretary of the Interior is authorized, in the absence of other
provisions for the care and management thereof, to designate an
officer or employee of his department to take charge of the land,
acquired under this section and section 151 of this title, and to
enforce rules and regulations for the control and use thereof, and
of the waters of the springs and creeks within the reservation. The
Secretary of the Interior is authorized, in his discretion, to sell
or dispose of any buildings upon the land reserved, and all money
received from such sales, or that may be realized for the use of
said waters or for the use and occupancy of the land or the
buildings thereon, through leases, permits, or otherwise, shall be
covered into the Treasury of the United States to the credit of
miscellaneous receipts. If any person, firm, or corporation shall
willfully violate any of the rules and regulations prescribed by
the Secretary of the Interior relative to the use of the waters of
said springs and creeks and the use and occupation of the lands in
said reservation, such person, firm, corporation, or members or
agents thereof, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction shall be fined not less than $5 and not more than $100,
and may be imprisoned for a term of not more than six months for
each offense.
