Whereas it appears from the papers, documents, and records of the General Land Office that the area set out by said application is subject to prospect and development in the manner provided by the act aforesaid, and it further appearing from the statement in an affidavit executed by the said Sam Sparks that he does not hold or own any interest in any other permit or lease issued by the State of Texas and in good standing except interest in permits Nos. 2719, 2720, and 2776, and it further appearing that the said Sam Sparks has paid into the General Land Office the lawful sum of money for the area embraced herein as provided by said act:,

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises aforesaid and the obligations hereinafter named, I, J. T. Robinson, commissioner of the general land office of the State of Texas, do hereby issue this permit to Sam Sparks upon the following conditions, to-wit:

1. The owner hereof shall have the exclusive right to prospect for and develop petroleum and natural gas within the designated area for a term not to exceed two years, and for the second year the owner hereof shall pay another 10 cents per acre within 30 days after one year from this date.

2. The owner of this permit shall have the exclusive right to enter upon said land at all times during the life of this permit for the purpose of mining, drilling, and operating for oil and gas and to erect and maintain all structures, fixtures, pipes, pipe lines, and machinery necessary for the production, the storage, and the transportation of oil or gas.

3. Before the expiration of 12 months from date of this permit the owner of same shall in good faith commence actual work necessary to the physical development of said area, and if petroleum or natural gas is not developed within 12 months from date hereof the owner or manager shall, on or before 30 days after the expiration of said 12 months, file in the General Land Office a sworn statement, supported by two disinterested, credible witnesses, that such actual work was begun within the 12 months aforesaid, and that petroleum or natural gas has not been discovered in commercial quantities, and that a bona fide effort to develop same was made during the 12 months preceding the filing of said statement.

4. If at any time within the life of this permit petroleum or natural gas should be developed in commercial quantities the owner or the manager of such owner shall file in the General Land Office a statement of such development within 30 days thereafter, and thereupon the owner hereof shall have the right to lease the area described herein.

5. The owner of this permit shall drill all offset wells necessary to the full protection of this area, and upon a failure to do so the issuing authority may cancel this permit and terminate all rights of the owner herein.

6. If any statement made by the owner of this permit which was necessary to the issuance thereof was false or untrue in material matters, or if the owner hereof should fail or refuse to begin in good faith the work necessary to the development of the area herein within the time required, or should the owner hereof fail or refuse to proceed in good faith and with reasonable diligence in a bona fide effort to develop the area included herein after having begun the development, or if the owner should fail to apply for a lease within 30 days after the discovery of petroleum or natural gas in commercial quantities this permit shall be subject to forfeiture by issuing authority.

7. The owner of this permit shall not take, carry away, or sell any petroleum or natural gas found on the area described herein before such owner shall have obtained a lease thereof. For development purposes the owner of this permit may have for fuel, free of charge by the State, the wood on the area

covered by this permit; provided this free use of fuel extends only on such surface as the State may not heretofore have sold to another.

8. Within 30 days after the completion of each well drilled on the area included within this permit, whether a dry well or a producing well, the owner of this permit shall cause to be delivered to the general land office a correct copy of the log of each well showing the important formations passed through, the depth at which each such formation was reached, the thickness of each such formation, the water-bearing formations and the character of water therein, whether salt, fresh, hard, or soft, the elevation to which the water rose, the number of feet of casing set in such well and where placed, its size, and the total depth to which such well was drilled.

9. Before penetrating gas formations the owner of this permit shall exercise the utmost diligence and care in preventing the unnecessary waste of gas.

10. All developments in water shall be done, so far as practicable, in such manner as to prevent the pollution of the water.

11. Upon the abadonment of any well, whether dry or producing, the owner of this permit shall securely plug such well so as to prevent the escape of salt water and so as to prevent the entrance of salt water into the oil or gas bearing formations.

12. All the terms and conditions herein shall extend to the heirs, successors, and assigns of this permit.

In testimony whereof witnes the signature of the said J. T. Robinson, commissioner of the general land office of the State of Texas, and the seal of said office, this the 30th day of April, 1919.
