Mel,
Directly to the north of your Section 179, a horizontal well was drilled in (Section 180) 2012 by Arabella Petroleum. It is a fairly decent oil and gas well. Link to Completion Report on Well API 389-33483:
Also a vertical well (API 389-32950) was drilled by J. Cleo Thompson; completion numbers are 75 BOPD/70,000 MCF gas.
I would definitely ask for the 25% royalty. Can’t say about the bonus money. Possibly someone else will chime in with some numbers about bonus money.
