a warranty deed to 'all minerals Of
every nature, with the right to explore
therefor upon, in or UNDER farms in
certain localities, by paying down 81
per acre. with the option of purchasing
the farm at any time inside Of a year
at 500 per acre. Several farmers
have given their options on the terms
agreed upon and received their 50 per
acre. A few Of the more conservative
ones have turned the offer down, be-
lieving that if the land was not pur-
chased outright inside of a year the
mineral right which had been given
would cast cloud on the title to the
land in case Of a sale to some one
else in the future
