How did you get the mineral rights?

Out here in the westnern U.S., you might own the land on top but not the 
minerals, gas, oil, or whatever below.

Was it difficult?  Or did you just tap the gas and not care?  Or did you 
have a property that also included underground mineral rights?

Just curious -- if you had to go through that process, what did it cost 
for that part of the well.
