3. ““In Richards v. Shearer, 145 Kan. 88 , 64 P. 2d 56 , the instrument in question was held to be a conveyance which effected a severance of the oil and gas in place, and hence should be recorded and listed for taxation as required by statute. The instrument was not recorded within ninety days, but was recorded before the first of March after its execution. This recording was held to constitute the necessary listing for taxation, within the meaning of • the statute, in view of the fact that after it was recorded it became the duty of the register of deeds to furnish to the county clerk, and he to the county assessor, by March first, a list of such properties for the purpose of taxation. The recording was in time for that purpose. Here the facts do not bring it within the rule of the case last cited. Had the instrument been filed for record before March first there would have been reason tú hold .the case applicable, but here it was not filed until May third, which was more than two months after the time it should have been certified to the county assessor for taxation.””
