Uncentainty Regarding Oil Privileges WASHINGTON;, June Theses fins official detailed i ihferpnetaten of the general leasing act, as applied to: the oil rights of homestead enr trymen,, was giveni out today by Commissioner Tallman im the form: of a letter addtessed to; Congressman, Mondell. In view of confusion re- sulting from various: interpretations. of the leasing law as: applied: to homestead} lands, the Wyoming congressman asked Commissioner | Tallman, to: officially set out the status|on\ an entry allowed after February 25, { of such, entnymen, fon the: information of all concerned. ‘The letter explains in detail the status, of the entrymen; under, the various homestead laws, as well as oil placer claimants, and’ is-as follows: “Whatever preferential rights home- steaders or other agricultural entry- men, as such, may have to ofl permits or leases, must be found in: Section 20) of the act, which, reads as follows: “In the case of lands bona fide ep- tored as ‘agricultural, “and ‘not with- drawn: on classified: as: mineral at the time of entry, but not including lands: claimed under. any, railroad grant, the entryman or .patentee, or assigns, where assignment was made prior to if the entry has been right January 1, 1918, patented with the mineral re- served, shall he entitled:to.a preference right to a permit and to a lease, as herein. provided: ,in case of discovery; and within an area not greater than a) township such entryman and patentees, or assigns holding restricted patent may combine their holdings, not to ex ceed 2,560 acres fon the purpose of mak, ing joint. applieation,.. Leases executed under this section and embracing only} lands so entered’ shall, provide for the payment of a royalty, not less than 123% per centum as to‘such, areas with-} in the permit as may, not be included, within the discovery lease to which the permittee is entitled under section 14) of.” “While the section is not as clear and ific in séme) respects; as might be red, it ig, apparent that the class of) fer a preference right; is those who made their entries when) the’ land: was not withdrawn: on classified: as; mineral; and. who were, therefore permitted. to make their entries without any resei vation of the mineral to the government, but who thereafter were, or will be,/ compelled: to. take a patent, with the} vation because of a withdyawal’ or sification or because the land’ has in the meantime. coge to be of known! al chapacten before final proof is submitted} “It is also, apparent that this sec- tion is inp the nature of a relief pro- vision, designed to take care of those Who. found: themselves in: the situation bed in, the last preceding para- sraph, the time. the act was‘ passed, and not intended) to provide: generally for the disposition of mineral rights: under the homestead law in the future. With: these general propositions in-mind;, the following: specific statements may be made: “() Tf the: land was withdrawn or classified, at’ thectime of entry so that the entry, was, made with a reservation of the mineral, there is;no preference right; conversely, to) entitle the home- steaden.to a préferenge, the entry must have been properly: made without a res- ervation of the» mineral. “(2) There’ can. be no preference right} oo J.

(11) The preference right claimant »must be qualified to take a permit un- der the law the same. as anybody else; for instance, an alien transferree of patented land could not get a permit ‘or lease; one who has already received the limit of permits allowed, could not get a permit. “(12) The mattér of whether the agri- | right to a permit is predicated, is with- cn or without a know producing struc- mire cuts no figure in connection with the preference -righte here under. con- sideration; provided, \ that only . one mermit may be granted in the. same structure. (18) An oll plaeer location perfected by discovery segregates the land froin any further entry so long as the claim is maintained, but in case of attempted homestead, thé mineral claimant must file edmtest to protect his interest, as vhe land department has’ no* record: of lis claim in. the absence of an appli- cation for patent. “(14)*An, oil placer location perfected by discoyery, laid over land embraced im a prior, valid, subsisting homestead entry, is ineffective so long as the ‘homestead stands. (Prior to the Act of Tuly 1%, 1914, the mineral claimant could) contest the homestead and) cause its cancellationf under that act the homesteader may retain surface rights: drawn;"and under the leasing! act the jhomesteader might have a preferenge right to a permit for the) mineral.) “(15) But a mere«‘paper’ oil location: (that is ane without discovery) will not prevent a homestead entry of the land, “(16) Where the claimant of a ‘paper’ location is on the ground) in diligent prosecution of work ‘leading To: diseov- ery at the time the land is homesteaded, she; may by contest defeat the home- stead entry. (17) In case of conflict between a preference right claimant under Sec- tions 18 and 19, and one under Section 20, the one would! prevail whose rights javere prior’in: their lawful inception. | “Q8) The allowance, (after February | 25, 1920) of a homestead entry on land covered by valid rights to relief per- mits or leases under Sections 18 or 19, is entirely within the discretion of the secretary of the interior.
