There shall be no further geological survey by the Government,
unless authorized by law. The public surveys shall extend over all
mineral lands; and all subdividing of surveyed lands into lots less
than one hundred and sixty acres may be done by county and local
surveyors at the expense of claimants; but nothing in this section
contained shall require the survey of waste or useless lands.
