Compiler's notes. — Chapter 82 of the 1929 Compilation referred to in this section is presently compiled as 48-2-1 to 48-2-8, 48-2-10 to 48-2-16, 48-3-1, 48-3-2, 48-3-4, 48-3-5, 48-3-7 to 48-3-15, 48-5-1 to 48-5-3 and 48-6-1 to 48-6-16 NMSA 1978.
Purpose of declaration of cumulative effect was not to make other statutory provisions applicable to those things covered by this act itself, but to show that the things for which liens were given by this act were not intended to nullify other lien statutes in favor of mechanics, laborers, clerks and others performing services in the oil industry, and materialmen who might furnish material in the oil or mining industry not covered by the act. Butt v. Vermejo Park Corp., 1976-NMSC-075, 89 N.M. 679, 556 P.2d 835.
Lien on fee owner's interest. — Under the Mechanics' Lien Act (48-2-1 NMSA 1978 et seq.), a lien may be imposed upon fee owner's interest if he has knowledge of the construction and fails to disclaim responsibility therefor in manner and within time therein provided, while under this act, fee owner's interest is subject to lien only if he expressly so contracts, an obvious conflict, and it was held that company which built roads, leveled land, hauled water and provided gravel and load pipe in connection with certain oil and gas exploration and drilling were entitled to assert a lien only under this act. Butt v. Vermejo Park Corp., 1976-NMSC-075, 89 N.M. 679, 556 P.2d 835.
