Upon showing to the satisfaction of the Secretary of the Interior
that valuable deposits of sulphur have been discovered by the
permittee within the area covered by his permit, and that the land
is chiefly valuable therefor, the permittee shall be entitled to a
lease for any or all of the land embraced in the prospecting
permit, at a royalty of 5 per centum of the quantity or gross value
of the output of sulphur at the point of shipment to market, such
lease to be taken in compact form by legal subdivisions of the
public-land surveys; or if the land be not surveyed, by survey
executed at the cost of the permittee in accordance with
regulations prescribed by the Secretary of the Interior: Provided,
That where any person having been granted an oil and gas permit
makes a discovery of sulphur in lands covered by said permit, he
shall have the same privilege of leasing not to exceed six hundred
and forty acres of said land under the same terms and conditions as
are given a sulphur permittee under the provisions of this section.
