i am attempting to communicate with their division order dept. they will not call me back nor will they answer emails from me or my atty. i already have checks coming from continental on other property so, the whole thing is disturbing. obviously, when i leased the land i had to provide reams of documents. my sister thinks they are just sitting there collecting interest on the money they owe us. sorry to be so cynical. i will have my atty. search the records for myron’s will. that is a great idea. thanks so much for your input. we have six new wells right now and two that are suspended. that is a lot of activity. my grandpa who was an atty. in crosby got these mineral acres in lieu of payment. he wanted them for my dad. this is back in the 1950’s. he was such a nice person. in one of his letters he says “someday these may be worth a couple of hundred dollars an acre”. he would be proud.

I would hope that is not the case with Continental (holding royalty). I assume you are communicating with Continental's division order department? I heard that Continental has 900,000 acres in the Bakken. That's a lot of mineral ownerships to keep up with. My work is keeping me plenty busy in Texas but I am real curious about seeing the activity in ND. Phil
