     ROCKY MOUNTAIN MINERAL LAW FOUNDATION
     The Rocky  Mountain Mineral Law  Foundation was  organized in
1955 to provide continuing legal education for lawyers who are inter-
ested in oil and gas and mining law and taxation. To this end, the
Foundation has conducted annual Institutes on legal problems of con-
cern to oil and gas and mining attorneys, has engaged in the publication
of significant looseleaf services, treatises and the proceedings of its
annual Institutes, has collected research materials for the benefit of its
members, and  has initiated considerable original research in this field.
The Foundation also works in the water law field and the index provided
in this REVIEW  reflects topics in that specialized area of the law.

nificant decisions of the Director of the Bureau of Land Management
and of the managers  of the local land offices; the Outer Continental
Shelf Service contains similar materials concerning leases on the outer
continental shelf; and the Mining Service contains the laws and regula-

Bureau  of Land Management  and  hearing examiners affecting mining

eral Oil and Gas Leases-have been published by the Foundation. The
American  Law of Mining is a five-volume treatise, with supplements to
date, covering all areas of the mining law. The Law of Federal Oil and
Gas Leases contains an analysis of every aspect of the laws, regulations
