On Motions for Rehearing.
At the request of appellees we make the following findings of fact. The parties stipulated:
“That on July 20, 1948, Union Oil Company of California tendered to . plaintiffs or their predecessors in title , an annual payment of $60.53, under the provisions of pararagraph 3 of said lease, and thereafter each year to date Union Oil Company of California has tendered to plaintiffs and their predecessors in title a like payment under paragraph 3 and paragraph 17(a) of said lease.”
“That all tenders on and after July 20, 1948, of payment under the- provi- ■ sions of said lease have been rejected by the plaintiffs.”
We find as a fact that as shown by such stipulations the Union Oil Company of California did not tender payment of the shut-in royalty provided for in the Ogden *252lease until "after the end of the primary term of the lease, February 26, 1949, but that at all relevant times such tenders of payment were made after tlie expiration of the primary term of the lease, but before the first of January of each year as provided in paragraphs 3(b) and 17(a) of the lease.
The motions for rehearing are overruled.
