An unidentified oil interest has leased oil rights on three sections of farms in Bradley township, according to lease records filed in the Jackson County Deeds office this week. The deeds convey oil rights from three groups of landowners to one A.L.

Shaney, whose identity was not learned. THK THREE leases were tend ered by Kenneth Arthur, Margaret and Dorothv Modclin.Aucust and Mary Stegman, and Fritz and Sophie Gerberding. The leases are identical in word-age, with the exception of time limits and descriptions of proper ty. The Stegman land is leased for four months, and the other two for one year. Conditions to permit renewal of agreements are included in the leases.

The legal description of the land is as follows: 160 acres In the Gerberding property in section 14, township 7, range 12212 acres on the Stegman property in section 23, township 7, range 160 acres on the Modglin property in sections 13 and 24, township 7 range 4. Under the terms of the agreements, the property owners trans-ter to Shaney the right to explore for oil on the land under specific terms set forth in the lease contract. The terms also provide for use of certain drilling and pumping methods, including introduction of water or brine solution to form a pressure area to force the oil to the surface. This method applies pressure a-round the perimeter of production, and thus force the oil into a central well for recovery. The method is used in fields already worked out through the normal pressure the underground storage of oil.

The method was used extensively in the Ccntralia several years ago, and resulted in recovery of a large a-mount of crude oil, THE AGREEMENT sets forth that the landowners will receive one-eighth royalty from any oil re covered on their lands. The land owners will also receive one-eighth of any natural gas used from drilling, and also will be supplied with free natural gas for household use. If the operation does not result in a producing well within the per- iod set forth in the contract, the agreement is terminated. The contractors provide for continued agreement should a producing well be brought in on one of the piece of property within the agreed-upon time limits. The agreement outlines particular requirements for drilling operations The oil interests will have right-of-way rights into the land, and other specified rights of construction.

In return, the oil interest is required to observe the rights of the landowner with respect to damage to crops in drilling, and other circumstances connected with drilling or exploration. It is recalled that oil is limited quantities was produced in the Bradley area some years ago, and that one gasser on the Gerderdine lease produced gas from an open casing head for a number of years.
