Fontron, J.,
concurring: I find it extremely difficult to accept the rationale of Gilmore v. Superior Oil Co., 192 Kan. 388, 388 P. 2d 602. It offends my sense of logic to say that the market value of gas at the mouth of the well is the price for which the gas is ultimately sold after having been so processed that it has become marketable. I would consider that market value of gas at the well would be that amount for which it could be sold, after deducting such reasonable expense as was required to render it saleable.
However, I recognize that the point has been decided otherwise by this court, and for such reason will concur in the result reached in this case.
