Lessees are required to pay: On oil, 10 per cent of the value of the production on the leased premises ; on coal, 8 cents per ton, mine run: on every ton of coal produced weighing 2,000 pounds, including what is commonly called " slack; " on asphalt, 10 cents per ton for every ton of crude asphalt weighing 2,000 pounds, and 60 cents per ton on refined asphalt. On each gas-producing well, where the gas is utilized, they are required to pay at the end of each year a royalty of $150. Failure on the part of the lessee to use a gas-producing well, if the gas can reasonably be used at the prescribed rate, does not work a forfei-ture of the lease for oil purposes, but if the lessee wishes to retain gas-producing privileges he must pay a royalty of $50 per annum on each gas-producing well not utilized, the first payment to be made within thirty days from the date of the discovery of gas.
