Fee Title in Minerals Awarded in Patton v Emma Coal Co
Supreme court decision in Mary M. Patton versus The Emma Coal Company from Guernsey County holds that when mineral rights are sold separately from the surface a fee title to the mineral is acquired with no grant restrictions. The mineral and needed surrounding strata may be moved without surface interference, leaving space usable for mining as long as the mine is not exhausted. The ruling confirms the right to drain and haul coal through this acquired property for operators.
