Description
1 At issue here is the correctness of the trial courts judgment quieting title in the plaintiffs to a claimed mineral estate. Under challenge below was the States ownership of minerals underlying 798 acres of land. The land in litigation consists of two tracts: Tract I, known as the "railroad strip", covers a narrow strip of approximately 16 acres; Tract II comprises the remaining 782 acres. The State counter-claimed to quiet its title in the minerals underlying both of these tracts. By agreement of the parties the quiet-title claims were all tried and decided first. The remaining tort claims - for alleged conversion of minerals - stand undetermined. In this appeal corrective relief is sought from the trial courts decision upon the title claims. The trial court quieted plaintiffs title against the State in the minerals underlying Tract I - the "railroad strip". The State prevailed on its counterclaim as to Tract II. The States appeal is from the adverse judgment as to Tract I. Since no appeal was brought by the plaintiffs, title to Tract II is not in contention here.
