Prior orders promulgated under the act of June 28, 1906 (34 Stat. L. 539), fixing the rate of royalties on oil produced within the limits of the Osage Indian Reservation at one-sixth, are hereby modified to permit a stipulation in connection with litigation involving title to the Arkansas River bed providing that operations may be conducted upon lands involved in such cases, and pending the determination of such litigation, on the same royalty basis as that provided for in leases upon said lands given by the State of Oklahoma.
