ANNOTATIONSMineral lease. — Since the New Mexico supreme court has decided that an oil and gas lease conveys "real property," a mineral lease should be executed under the provisions of this section and 4-47-4 NMSA 1978, which provide means of sale of property by a county at public auction, under the supervision of a district court. Following these provisions would provide protection to the county commissioners. 1955 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 55-6194.
