Scope and Contents

Mr. Turner sent a letter to Mr. John Malloy regarding the sales of surface under certain conditions for segregated coal lands in Oklahoma. The conditions include the right of Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations to enter the lands for prospecting and mining operations, with a fair valuation to be determined if there is a disagreement between the surface owner and mineral deposit owner. Arbitrators may be appointed if necessary, and the mineral deposit owner has the right of entry for mining purposes after a failure to agree on valuation.
