Show EVERETT BLACKBURN twenty acres out of the outfit. HH: Over a period of time? And do you know or have any idea how that progressed or when it finally became it larger amount? EB: Oh, well I was there in a '48, '49, part of '50 and then when I was there he already got that much of it. HH: And I imagine that you pretty much used the entire twenty acres there. EB: Oh yeah, oh a little bit of it. HH: Why do you think it was such a small lease to begin with? EB: Oh, the Navajos, is funny people. They're people, Window Rock didn't want to lease too much at a time then they'd work it out where you had to take a Navajo in with you each time but after that, after we got rid of that, you know, it was all right then. HH: I see. EB: We just got straight leases then; I think it was a ten percent royalty. HH: Was it ten or was it possibly fifteen, do you know, do you remember? EB: No, it wasn't that much; it was ten I think. HH: You think it was ten. EB: Yeah, I seen the contracts and read them but I never-' don't think it was over ten and some of it was, I know some of the leases were around five percent royalty too. 8 |
