1. ““In Deruy v. Noah, 199 Okl. 230 , 185 P.2d 189, 191 , we quoted with approval from Claybrooke v. Barnes, 180 Ark. 678 , 22 S.W.2d 390 , 67 A.L.R. 1436 , as follows: “ * * * ‘Where there has been a severance of the legal interest in the minerals from the ownership of the land, adverse possession of the surface is not adverse possession of the mineral estate, even though title to the minerals be asserted all the time.’ and: ‘Where ownership of the surface and of the mineral rights has been severed, the only way the Statute of Limitations can be asserted against the owner of the mineral rights or estate is for the owner of the surface estate or some other person to take actual possession of the minerals by opening and operating mines for the statutory period.’ See also Douglass et al. v. Mounce et al., Okl., 303 P.2d 430, 433 , and cited cases.””
