ITS TO OIL
UNDERLEASING
LAV EXPLAINED
. , - ...
Amendment Issued by Interior
Department Clears Up Con-
fusion of, Wyoming Home
. stead Entrymen.
By E. E. SNYDER.
Washington, D. C, April 3.
Wyoming homestead entrymen ap
pear to-be greatly confused as to
their rights to oil under the leasing
law and not without reason, it may
be said, With the enactment of the
leasing law the newspapers carried
a story to the effect that homestead
i entrymen, if bonafide, would be en
titled to a preference right to oil
limitations. Such was the intention
of congress, but one can never be
sure of a law until it has been in
terpreted by the department admin
istrative regulations.
In the original regulations issued
governing tht leasing law, it ap
reared to be the intention to ex
tend the preference right only to
those whose entries had been pat
ented. This was so far from the
intention of congress, however, that
the Interior department has now
issued an amendment, which in some
detail, explains this preference right.
The amendment reads:
"Preference right to owner of sur
face: A preference right to a per
mit is given to an owner or entry
man to the land with a reservation
of the oil deposits to the United
States, under the following condi
tions: (a) the land must have been
withdrawn or classified as oil or gas
lands; -b) entry must have been
bona fide and madep rior to such
withdrawal or classification and
prior to the date of the act; (c) in
case of an assignment, same must
have been prior to January 1. 1918:
(d) the: land must not be claimed
under any railroad grant"
Under the general homestead law
entries under the stockraising home
stead act specifically reserve to the
United States all minerals, including
oiL Entrymen under the enlarged
or 320-acre homestead law are re
quired to make affidavits that to the
best of their knowledge and belief
the land does not contain valuable
minerals; where oil has been found
under such entries the department
has declined to issue patent until
the entryman has signed a waiver
of all mineral rights.
