§ 23-52-115. Development of Natural Resources

The state board of land commissioners is authorized to prudently develop such coal measures, mineral deposits, and oil structures by lease or otherwise as is situated on lands described in section 23-52-114, but such development shall not unreasonably interfere with the use of such land as may be directed from time to time by the board of trustees. Applications for leases of the coal measures, mineral deposits, and oil structures shall be made to the state board of land commissioners, which board may execute such leases in the manner required by law. Rental, royalties, and income therefrom shall be deposited with the state treasurer and credited to the special account established by section 23-52-114.
