Rules and regulations. In connection with lands withdrawn by the President under authority of this Act, he has the implied authority to prescribe rules and regulations governing the use of the lands withdrawn, and may delegate to another (here the Secretary of the Interior) authority to prescribe regulations. "Such regulations must be limited in scope, of course, to the accomplishment of the purposes of the withdrawal and be consistent with the temporary character of the power vested in the President by the act of June 25, 1910, as amended by the act of August 24, 1912, supra. (37 Op. Atty. Gen. 433, 435, Feb. 3, 1934.)

location.

It is enough if reasonable effort was being made at that time, indicating a bona fide intention to complete the work of discovery on the particular claim with all practical expedition; such intention being manifested by the doing of physical act or acts which had a direct tendency to facilitate the exploration for and discovery of oil or gas thereon, although drilling had not commenced and the work may not have been on such claim." (United States v. North American Oil Consolidated, 242 F. 723, 727, June 8, 1917.)

"The Act of June 25, 1910, did not attempt to affirm, repudiate, abridge, or enlarge any withdrawals previously made. Its purpose was to confer specific authority upon the President for the future, subject to the restriction that 'there shall be excepted from the force and effect of any withdrawal made under the provisions of this Act all lands which are, on the date of such withdrawal, embraced in any lawful homestead or desert-land entry theretofore made, or upon which any valid settlement has been made and is at said date being maintained and perfected pursuant to law.'"

72 F.2d 427, 428, July 28, 1934.)
