Where there's smoke, there's water

If you can hold a flame to your faucet and the water catches fire, the North Dakota Geological Survey wants to know about it.

How can I find out if my late father, A.W.Ellis, still owns mineral rights in North Dakota?
Thank you, M.Ellis

Stay away from stanley, ND. They are a cruel people there. They treat outsiders like crap. They think they can rake in the money without having to change. Just ask some of the Natives south of stanley. They have been treated poorly for many years, and they are suppose to be neighbors. Preachers in this area are afraid to loose there job, if they tell the residents in stanley, that they are wrong in how they treat people. Go to kenmare or tioga. They are much more pleasant and receptive.

Just call the stanley, ND gossip hall, city hall will refer you to who you can call at the County court house
