Verne Philp, subject to mineral deed shown at Sheet 17 which granted to one Elmer Reed, his heirs and assigns, a one-half interest is all oil, gas and minerals in or under this property; said subject to the right of ingress and egress* all times for the purpose of operating and developing said lands for oil, gas, and other minerals, and marketing the same therefrom, with the right to remove from said lands all of Grantee's property sad inprovementa, -4- Mr. Floyd J. Mason --Title Opinion Marct. Q. ;p60 ATfltma exception of reservoirs in the description. This defe-t can be corrected by quit -claim deed from the County of Weld. The exception and reservation in deeds of record, of reservations, covenants and conditions contained in the Union Faoific Land Ceapaay's contracts, and again in the deed from Weld County, make title uncertain and in my opinion, unmarketable as to all land Doming through instruments containing such exception, as herninbefore set forth. This can be corrected by quit,Mclais deed from the Union Pacific Railroad Company It title adjudication suit decreeing the exact interest which is excepted, misusing that such exception is only ell and gas and mineral rights. In this connection, the exeeption clause is the Union Pacific deeds is in such form that under our recent Colorado Supreme Court decision it is more a right of exploration that has been lost rather than a reservation of minerals, and the exact determination of such rights and the parties holding same are material to the owner of the surface, oven though no oil, gas or mineral interest is vested in such person. The supplemental affidavit is the ease of Ray L. Casten can, of esteem, be readily supplied, but should be recorded sad shown on the abstrect before title is accepted as marketable. In connection with this title, I would call your attention to the following matters' 1. Title to Section 22 and to the land in Section 23 to be conveyed, and to the land in Section 24 to be conveyed, and to the XI* of Section 26, comes through Treasurers' Deeds in the 19301s. Under Title Standards Jo. 47 adopted by the Colorado Dar Association October 19, 1946, such titles are deemed marketable after the Treasurer's Deed has boon of record nine years, and all of these involved here have been of record mere than twenty years. This is on the assumption that the Fhilpa have boon in possession of all of this property during such period and paid all taxes assessed against it during that period. Mew - over, should • quiet title proceeding 4 brought, I would recommend that all persons out off by such Treasurers' Deeds be joined. 2.Also, if quiet title reties is brought. I would recommend that all possible claimants under the estate of Freak M. Osborne and under the estate of George S. Adana as to Section IS be joined to out off any possible claim that executors deeded without proper authority, or that foreign will should have been admitted to rrobate in Colorado.
