Syllabus

<p>Lease — Oil and gas lease — Marketing gas.</p> <p>Where an oil and gas lease provides that if gas “ be found in sufficient quantities to justify marketing the same,” the lessee is bound to market the gas if found in paying quantities or show some good reason for not having done so. He will not, however, be required to market the gas at aloss, but only at a reasonable profit; and in determining whether it could be so marketed, the distance to market, the expense of marketing and every circumstance of a similar kind should be taken into consideration'.</p>
