STATE LANDS
VALUE GROWS,
K0SITZKY SAYS
Mineral Rights Law Aids
Price BOOst-Oil Boom Also
Increases Worth

Value to the state of North Da-
kota Of such lands as it still retains
was considerably enhanced during
the last session Of congress by the
law granting to public land states
mineral rights in lands already
ceded for school purposes. according
to Carl K. kositzky, state land COM
missioner.
Under the old law, Kositzky said,
the federal government retained
title to minerals which might be
the state. Although thousands of
acres Of state land are>underiaid with
valuable coal deposits no trouble ever
has been experienced with regard to
this phase of the old law, Kositzky
said, possibly because other land not
owned by the state contained more
than enough coal to meet present
needs.
Many Oil Leases Granted
That some persons are not loath
to take advantage of the mineral
feature of the old law, however, is
shown BY the fact that the federal
land office here recently has granted
leases to many persons interested in
oil developments in the western part
Of the state. In many instances
these leases to mineral RIGHTS cover
property already occupied by set.
tiers who have not yet obtained valid
title to the land.
All of the public lands in the state
now have been surveyed, Kositzky
said, except those included in the
various Indian reservations. Pre-.
sumably when these are surveyed the
state will obtain title to sections 1f
and SO in each township under the
terms Of the school land grant acts.
The law clarifying the states right
to the minerals underlying state
land as we'll as to the use of ths
surface of the land was of consider
able Importance in some other lant
grant states where mineral develop
ment has been r~pid, Kositzky said,
