1Opinion of the Court
SEYMOUR, Circuit Judge.
This case presents us with the question whether oil and gas reservations to the United States in federal land patents pursuant to the Agricultural Entry Act of 1914, 30 U.S.C. §§ 121-125 (1988) (1914 Act), include deposits of carbon dioxide gas. The Department of the Interior and the district court concluded that the carbon dioxide gas was reserved to the government. We agree and hold that the term “gas” in the 1914 Act reasonably may be interpreted to include the carbon dioxide deposits.
