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!
