Quitclaim Deeds should be obtained from these parties to Merel T. Meyer and Viola Meyer, tenants in common, confirming the Meyers ' interest in these lands except for those lands south of the south line of the east/west county road. With regard to lands south of the county road, a quitclaim deed from Four Quarter Land Co. , Inc . should be obtained in favor of Roy Lundvall. These documents should be placed of record in Weld County. If such Quitclaim Deeds are not obtained, you should obtain a Stipulation of Interests or other agreement between these parties delineating the mineral interest each purports to own in the E/2 SE/4 , Sec. 26 , T5N, R66W. If any of these documents reflect ownership of these lands that is other than as described herein, you should obtain and record oil and gas leases from such owners. If the Hill-N-Park Subdivision, by Four Quarter Land Co. , Inc . purports to own these lands you should determine the basis for its claim of ownership and contact us in order that we may give you an opinion regarding the advisability of taking further curative measures. 5 . As noted above in Comment 2, Merel T. Meyer and Viola Meyer conveyed all of the E/2 SE/4 , Sec. 26 , T5N, R66W lying south of the south edge of the east/west county road to Roy Lundvall by a Quitclaim Deed dated September 28 , 1966 , recorded September 30, 1966, Book 574, Reception No. 1495596, Weld County. Prior to obtaining this Quitclaim Deed from the Meyers, Lundvall purported to acquire most of this parcel (Tracts 3 through 6) from Joseph W. Brough, Jr. and Quintus C. Fuller by a Warranty Deed dated March 27, 1965 , recorded May 19 , 1965, Book 542, Reception No. 1464004, Weld County. The specific lands covered by this Warranty Deed are as follows: A tract in the NE/4 , Sec. 35, T5N, R66W, 6th P.M. and the SE/4 , Sec . 26, T5N, R66W, more particularly described as follows: Considering the north line of the NE/4 , Sec. 35, T5N, R66W, to bear North 89°49 ' 20" West and with all bearings herein relative thereto: commencing at the NE corner of said Sec. 35, thence North 89°49 ' 20" West along said north line 73 . 05 feet to the southeasterly at Energy Company toper 8, 1984 a4 e ?0 right-of-way line of the abandoned Denver, Laramie and Northwestern Railroad, said point being the true point of beginning; thence North 72°19 ' 00" East along said southeasterly right-of-way line 76. 67 feet; thence North 00°00 ' 00" West 64 . 71 feet; thence South 88°57 ' 00" West 914 . 50 feet; thence South 06°19 ' 00" West 354 . 03 feet to said southeasterly right-of-way line; thence North 72°19 ' 00" East along said southeasterly right-of-way line 923 . 94 feet to the true point of beginning, containing 4 . 394 acres and including Public Road rights-of-way. The lands in this metes and bounds description that lie in the SE/ 4 SE/4 , Sec. 26 , T5N, R66W, comprise Tracts 3 through 6 . Joseph W. Brough, Jr. and Quintus C. Fuller purportedly obtained these lands from Henry F. Markus by a Warranty Book ed dated February 10 , 1964, recorded February 10, 1964, Reception No. 1428759 , weld County. Our examination of the Weld County records did not reveal a conveyance of these lands into Henry F. Marcus . Presumably, such a conveyance does exist, as described below, but is not indexed against the E/2 SE/4 , Sec. 26 , T5N, R66W in the books of Stewart Title Company, Greeley, Colorado, which books were relied upon in preparing this opinion. The records examined contain a document entitled Relinquishment and Quitclaim from Weld County to Persons Apr Tracing Their Title from P.H. Ferch, dated April 21 , 1971 , recorded il 26 , 1971 , Book 644 , Reception No. 1566416 , Weld County. This instrument references a Deed dated September 30, 1947, recorded October 1 , 1947 , Book 1212, Page 331 , Weld County from Weld County to P. H. Ferch and states that the county relinquishes its right to enter upon the surface of the lands described in that Deed , but not its interest in the minerals or other rights therein, which mineral rights were reserved in the Deed. The Deed at Book 1212 , Page 331 describes numerous lands that Weld County acquired by various Treasurer' s Deeds. The Deed does not specifically reference lands lying in Sec. 26, T5N, R66W, however, it does refer to a "100-foot right-of-way over and across the N/2 NE/4 and across the S/2 NW/4 as described in Book 325 , Pages 67 and 68, Weld County records , Sec. 35, T5N, R66W. " The instruments at Book 325 , Pages 67 and 68 are Warranty Deeds from Payton O. Blandin to the Denver, Laramie and Northwestern Railway Company and do not specifically reference lands as being located in Sec . 26 either, however, it does appear that the metes and bounds descriptions in those deeds may include lands located in the southern portion of the SE/4 SE/4 , Sec . 26. We also note that an instrument was recorded on February 10 , 1964 , Book 507 , Reception No. 1428760 , Weld County, which instrument was executed by Willard R. Quirk, a Registered Land Surveyor and Professional 9 tr energy Company teL 8 1984, E,..: -leer, Weld County Surveyor, and states that the survey was ,er-CImed at the request of Henry F. Marcus, Greeley, Colorado to property previously described in Book 325, Page 68 , of the r ::-.--rds of Weld County, Colorado and a part of that property Previously described in Book 325 at Page 67 , of the records of Weld County, Colorado. The instrument states that the d -:.:riptions in those instruments were found to be physically and nsthcm<<tically incompatible and that after evaluating existing r.,c-dence such as fences and the Denver, Laramie Northwestern road the surveyor determined the actual description of the lands . the corrective description recited by the surveyor is the same as thu metes and bounds description as that in the conveyance to Roy Lundvall set forth above and covers those lands described above as Tracts 3 through 6 together with other lands located in Sec . 35 , T5N , R66W. The surveyor ' s affidavit does not technically act as a reformation of the prior deeds , however, it has been of record for a substantial period of time and, arguably, constitutes prima facie evidence of the facts stated therein. Thus , we have made the assumption that the Deeds at Book 325 , Page 67 and 68 combine to cover Tracts 3 through 6 and that those lands are among the lands described in the Relinquishment and Quitclaim dated April 21 , 1971. Judging from the Relinquishment and Quitclaim from Weld County recorded at Book 644 , Reception No. 1566416 , the County claims ownership of the minerals underlying Tracts 3 through 6 as a result of a mineral reservation contained in the Deed from the County to P. H. Ferch recorded at Book 1212, Page 331. Although we have not located and examined it, the County apparently obtained its interest in Tracts 3 through 6 by a Treasurer' s Deed dated April 8 , 1940 . A treasurer' s deed constitutes original title and would have provided the County with clear title, free of prior defects or claims of interest. Given the length of time since the issuance of the Treasurer ' s Deed and the existence of and information in the surveyor' s affidavit described above , it is our opinion that the County has a strong claim to the minerals underlying Tracts 3 through 6. We also note that the issuance of a Treasurer' s Deed would have extinguished any interest of any predecessors to title of the Meyers, Straights or Lundvall and, thereby, extinguished any claim to minerals that they may have regarding these lands. It is likely that Henry F. Markus, and later Roy Lundvall, obtained their interest in these lands, being a surface interest only, as successors in title to P. H. Ferch. We have not reviewed specific documents confirming this , however, since it is only a surface interest that would be affected, your drilling operations should not be hindered. In any event, it appears that the conveyances described in Comment 2 have cleared any question regarding the surface ownership of these lands . , + .. ' t Energy Company '' t orpi 8 , 1984 one additional prior interest in a portion of these lands - , , discussion herein. A Decree of Foreclosure and 9l7�eBoof 1915 , recorded September 21, ok _,erty dated April 24 , was entered by the Denver District 1:age 4 , Weld County, various Cc _,:_t in Consolidated Action No. 55132, referencing -,'LLnti-ffs against the Denver, Laramie and Northwestern Railroad. ;;; pert of the Order, the Court required that defendant pY __intiffs certain amounts of money within a limited time period. els of ili the alternative, it was ordered that numerous p aofel ooerty be subjected to aforeclosure sale, including 9 a lying of property described as "a strip of land (2 te north of the right-of-way and adjacent thereto R in W h 6 h /4 E/4 , Sec . 26 and in the NE/4 NE/4 , Sec. 35, T5N, Subsequently, a Sheriff' s Deed was ex , e uteri o from Dewey, 1917 17 recorded at Book 471 , Page 508, City Bailey, Manager of Safety and Excise and ex_offiThis io heriff referenced and County of Denver, to M. S. Radetsky. the Order of the Denver District Court to a nConsolidated os Brat d Action sale o 55132 . The Deed was executed pursuant dated May 16, 1917 and included the same strip of land described above . Although this Deed to eM. la . gad t sky does is most likely specifically describe the subjG referring to the lands described in the QrrantndDeed o tthe Book 325 , Page 68 , Weld County, from Payton discussed above Denver , Laramie and Northwestern Railway Company and covering lands described as follows : a triangular tract or parcel of land situate in the NE/ 4 NE/4 , Sec. 35, T5N, R66W, 6th P.M. and more particularly described as follows : Beginning at a point which 102 feet north and 134 feet south 88° 57 ' West of which purports to be the Northeast corner of said Sec. 35 , said point being the intersection of the south line of the county road as it now exists on the north of said Sec. 35 Laramie the Northerly boundary line of the Denver, way and and 50 Northwestern Railway Company' s right-of-way t angles to the center 0 feet Northwesterly of and at rightroute as located h line of said railway company' sthence south 88°aid Sec. 5; along through, over and across st3line of said county 57 ' West 780 . 5 feet he south road to a point thence south 6°19 ' West 244 . 7 feet to a point on said Northern boundary line of rights parallel to ; thence north 72° 19 ' east 50 feet from lace anof beginning, the center line 848 . 1 feet to the p more or less. said Tract of land containing 2 . 19 acres, i ett Energy Company 8 1984 ate.r , .60) ` 23 ad above, the description in this Deed.,., srted28e y No 4 760 , e.,or' s affidavit recorded at Book 507, Reception to the County. This Sheriff ' s Deed was issued prior ;-.,:asurer' s Deed by which Weld County obtained the land discussed rsm which we have determinedrLaramie andNorthwester the n Railway above _,;p. Bland in to the Denver , ` ,nf,"ny, Therefore, we have assumed that any interest of M. S. a,detsky or his heirs or successors was extinguished by the Jasurer' s Deed. We note that Sara Radetsky executed 10 ,20-year 956 , Gil and Gas Lease dated June 12 , 1956 , recorded956, Book 1461 , Page 470 , Weld County to the California Company. Th lease was amended by G. E. Radetsky and Florence R. Lidner, heirs d of Sara Radetsky by an Amendment of Oil andk Lease 50atedeld January 1 , 1957 , recorded May 28 , 1957, County. There has been no further activity regarding the Radetsky interest. Requirement: You should obtain an oil and gas lease from Weld County vering those lands discussed above, Tracts 3 through 6, which lands are fully described Reception No in the s0surveyor' s is affidavit recorded at Book 507 , also recommended that this lease recite that it is intended to cover lands described in the Deeds recorded in Book 325 , comprise gs and 68 , Weld County. We note that the lands in nu question h to make a very small number of acres and, therefore, you Y satons the business decision not to suspend your drilling op prior to obtaining this lease from Weld County. At the time of recording this lease, you should examine the records of Weld County to determine that there have been no intervening conveyances that would affect title to the interest. As scheduled above, Tracts 3 through 6 each parties t have different oiffe nt wn surface owners . It is our opinion that these a mineral interest in the subject lands and, therefore , that it is not necessary to obtain leases from them. You should be aware of the terms of the Relinquishment and Quitcliam the dated April 21 , right 1971 whereby Weld County relinquished any to er enter upon uo . surface of Tract 3 through 6 for mineral exploration p P 6 . We have scheduled Lillian I. Straight and Roy Lundvall as owning a 1/2 mineral interest ecently unleased.ach in the lands delineated ias Tract 2. These interests are p Comment 1 , while Lillian I . Straight oowns this miMeneral Meyer and nterest, the right to lease the interest was granted Viola Meyer in a Warranty Deed dated January 31 , 1959 .
