Hillbillies making millions out of American gas rush

Leave it to the British journalists to look farther down their nose (with green envious eyes!) at Haynesville Shale mineral rights owners than the New York Times. Sunday's Observer featured a page 3 story titled, "Hillbillies making millions out of American gas rush."

Judy was, until very recently, a normal 61-year-old great grandmother from rural Arkansas who taught English at the local middle school and spent her spare time taking care of five troublesome terriers.

Now, in a story reminiscent of the 1960s sitcom The Beverly Hillbillies, she has joined a rapidly growing group of millionaires cashing in on a natural gas gold rush that is sweeping the American south.

Mineral Rights Online is a new website. My little endeavor is to get landowners to talk about leasing and royalty payments in a public forum where questions can be answered by professionals. We're not in the OGM business, but we leased our land and think there is a benefit to everybody.

Please post a free link to your website at http://www.mineralrightsonline.com.
Simply register and post in the Forum under General Discussion. I will compile into a directory as needed. We can also swap links.
