On Motion for Rehearing.,
Appellant calls attention to some inaccurate statements in our opinion. Where we said that on Feb. 19, 1952, the United States conveyed to appellee all the mineral interest reserved in its deed' of Jan. 1, 1944, we should have said that it conveyed all the mineral interest owned by it on Feb. 19, 1952. And appellant did not by his lease acquire “%ths of the minerals reserved' by the Government in ’its first, deed to appel-lee,”-but he bought only a fee simple determinable title to such seven-eighths. -It is thought that the other recitations- in our' opinion make our meaning. clear, but we are glad to clarify the points as requested by appellant.. •
In his able motion for rehearing appellant insists that we erred in holding that appellee’s right to ¾6t'h of %ths of the minerals has accrued. The question is riot free from difficulty, but we are not convinced that we should recede from ,our original view; and accordingly the motion for rehearing is overruled.
