The oil company could be held liable only if it had negligently allowed salt water to overflow from the pits onto the surface owner's land. Id. And, in Westmoreland v. California Co., 240 Miss. 562, 565, 128 So.2d 113, 113 (1961), the court affirmed the lower court's finding that the mineral lessee was not liable to the surface owner for its placement of a well on a gravel pit because there had been no showing that the mineral lessee had negligently located the well. Finally, in Sun Oil Co., the court upheld a damage award to the surface owner for the mineral lessee's clearing of a location for an oil well that was never drilled due to an influx of salt water in adjoining wells.
