It is my understanding that land owned by the USA prior to 1921 would create a perpetual mineral servitude in favor of the USA. Can the USA sell its minerals? Does anyone know what staute or law deals with this situation?

I meant after 1921
The feds will keep any minerals they have. Same with the state.
Bashle:

It bears confirmation, but I was under the impression that the Federal date was ca. 1934.

The state date went into effect as of the effective date of the 1921 Constitution (1/1/1921).

After these dates, the sovereign entities cannot divest themselves of mineral rights, and own them in perpetuity on any patents or deeds issued after this date.
Thanks Dion. You are correct on the dates, I was wrong. Do you know where someone could find the actual laws on this topic?
I never thought of it before, but if state and federal government own mineral right then they would more than likely be big supporters of using natgas as a 20 year bridge to alternative energy due to the savings nationwide and the major income stream they would have. It would be a win-win for the government.
Logan,
I am not sure they are looking at it that way.
Thats because they don't own it and a very long time ago a man by the name S.L was adopted in to the government they had him doing all kinds of things, showed him shipped him out of the us had him as a gov slave to the man like they do now. not knowing we live by the lord they thought we would never go this far to finding info out on this land Lower Cotton Valley Zone Reservoir A Elm Grove field in Bossier parish louisiana.thats just a lil of it. feel free to contact me i walk with god and no man in flesh can take from me what god has already has in store.
What? I'm sorry, but you have completely confused me with this post. I don't understand what you are trying to say. Are you saying "S.L." owned all of the federal land and "the man" took it? Please clear this up for me.
Do you really want to wade into this one Mark?
You're probably right Baron. But its been kind of slow around here! The only thing fun is listening to the healthcare reform pimps try and lie their way out of a pickle and replying back to emails from the White House...okay, mass distribution junk mail from Axelrod and other liars and henchmen! I've asked them to either stop telling lies or stop emailing me. Neither has occurred!

I am confused though as to what the point really is and how it ties to this topic. Maybe I need an interpreter. Unfortunately I can't figure out heads nor tails of it.
Mmmarkkk:

I think the point is that someone is looking for their check. But I would love to hear this story. It has been kind of sluggish here of late. Maybe it'll be some Jabez Watkins type of tale.
I think you are right. Maybe she should call Washington D.C.; they are really good at handing out checks! Almost as good as they are at confiscating the top third of all your money!
