MINERAL RESERVATIONS
ON STATE LAND

There seems to be some misunder-
standing as to the effect of the de-
cision Of Judge Reed Holloman in
the case of Arthur J. Evans VS.. Mel
son A. Field, land commissioner ,ac-
cording to reports received at the
state land office from various parts
of the state. In this instance the
court found that the land commits
sioner should issue deed without re-
servations of mineral rights. At the
time Mr.. Evans applied for a deed,
the conditions of the law approved
March IL, 1919 had not become ef-
fective. The land was not leased,
not classified as mineral land on
record, nor known as mineral land
Since then nearly all state land has
been leased for oil; an order was
also filed on April 4. 1910. designa.-
ing all state land as mineral Hence the
decision in the Evans case does not
have general application to state
land now held under contract OF
purchase.
