Schroeder: I have reviewed your letter of July 10 , 1984 , the Drilling Title Opinion and Division Order Title Opinion on Hudson #1 well and the applicable law in this matter and would offer the following comments . Weld County is in agreement with your attorney' s position that the Young family has no entitlement to royalties from the above-referenced well. Farnik v. Board of County Commissioners , 139 Colo. 481 , 341 P. 2d 467 (1959) , makes it abundantly clear that the surface owner gains no interest in any portion of the mineral estate held by a county even if it is inappropriate for the county to maintain such a mineral interest by virtue of holding the surface . Assuming, for the sake of argument only, that the County' s interest in Hudson #1 well was inappropriate , the only remedy would be for the County to sell the mineral interest at public sale and only if the Youngs were successful in a competitive sale would they acquire the mineral interest. Similarly, any rights based on an attack on the original tax deed would have expired many years ago. Given the Youngs clear lack of any claim to the mineral interest it would seem appropriate that the royalties now accruing be paid to Weld County. If you have any further questions , pleas - el free to contact me. Yo rs 1 ,P ee . rr s ssistant County Attorney LDM: ss F . - . 1 1 July 10, 1984 ,- ; ! Lee Morrison, Esq. Assistant County Attorney f Weld County, Colorado JUL P.O. Box 1948 Greeley, Colorado 80632 Re: Hudson #1 well N/2 Section 2-T1N-R65W Weld County, Colorado Dear Mr. Morrison: Pursuant to our telephone conversation this afternoon, enclosed are excerpts from our Drilling Title Opinion and our Division Order Title Opinion on the Hudson #1 well, drilled in the N/2 of Section 2, Township 1 North, Range 65 West, Weld County, Colorado. The Hudson #1 well was spud on December 6, 1982, drilled to the "J" sand formation and went into production March 27, 1984. As I explained, by Assignment dated July 16, 1982 (copy attached) , Double Eagle Petroleum and Mining Company assigned unto W. B. Macey and Paul M. Mershon, Jr. Weld County's Oil and Gas Lease dated August 1, 1979 which was recorded in Book 878 at Reception No. 1799545. When we went out to do a surface inspection prior to drilling our Hudson #1 well, the surface owners, Clara E. Young, Wallace G. Young, Clara Pauline Young and Harold C. W. Young, explained that they felt they owned the minerals underlying the NW/4 of Section 2, as well as the surface. Therefore, Macey & Mershon Oil Inc. took out an Oil and Gas Lease from the Youngs, to be sure we were completely covered prior to drilling our well. When we received our Drilling Title Opinion, it was our attorney's opinion that the Young's claim to the minerals was groundless. We supplied the Youngs with a copy of the Opinion and at that time they decided to wait until the well went under production before taking any action. Now, that the well is under production and it is time to prepare division orders and disburse revenue, we are in a dilemma. Our attorney still believes that Weld County owns the minerals underlying the NW/4 of Section 2, but as long as the Youngs believe they are the rightful mineral owners, we are unable to release the revenue to either Weld County or the Youngs, nor can we release Double Eagle Petroleum's overriding royalty or our working interest. Therefore, I am writing to you to ask that you please review the case to see if Weld County is certain that they own the minerals underlying the NW/4 of Section 2, so that I can advise the Young's of your position so that they can decide what action, if any, they plan to take.

Your Oil and Gas Lease with W. B. Macey and Paul M. Mershon , Jr . has been unitized with other leases in the area to form a North Half 320-acre spacing unit, which complies with government regulations for drilling a "J" sand gas well . The actual location of the Hudson #1 well is 1630 feet from the North line and 990 feet from the West line in Section 2. This lies on the property of Wallace G . Young and family. The well will take approximately nine days to drill . If the well looks to be capable of production in commercial quantities, then we will set pipe and begin working with Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company on gas contracts, equipment locations and right-of-ways. After the well is connected to a pipeline you will receive division orders to sign for your share of the revenue. We have compiled a plat on the area , derived from the Weld County records.
