Upon payment of the purchase price of the land and deed of acquittance fee, the General Land Office will execute a deed of acquittance to the original patentee or his assignee, with such reservation of minerals or with no mineral reservation, accordingly as may have been the case when the survey was titled or patented. Such transfer shall inure distributively to the benefit of the true and lawful owners of the survey in proportion to their holdings.
