Hi guys,
I think I might be confusing the terminology/verbiage here, I used the
word 'grant' as opposed to 'reserve'.   I believe Teegue is correct
and the word/action is 'reserved'.   Here is the exact verbage on the
Homestead Deed:...'the claimant...the tract of land above described,
with the appurtanances thereof, unto the said claimant,  and to the
heirs and assigns forever; subject to any vested and accrued water
right for mining, agricultural, manufacturing,, or other purposes...
as may be recognized by the local customs, laws and decisions of
courts, and there is reserved from the lands hereby granted, a right
of way thereon for ditches or canals constructed by the authority of
the United States of America" It would be denoted in the transfer
documents if one owner 'reserved' the rights to minerals...that is how
the landmen track the minerals, by 'deeds to'  and 'reservations of'
minerals...
Sorry if I confused anyone!
