No lease for oil, gas, sulphur, mineral ore, and other minerals shall be made by the board which will permit the drilling or mining for oil, gas, sulphur, mineral ore, and other minerals within 300 feet of any building on the land without the consent of the board. A lease on any experimental station or farm shall provide that the operations for oil, gas, sulphur, mineral ore, and other minerals shall not in any way interfere with use of the land as an experimental station and shall not cause the abandonment of the property or its use for experimental farm purposes; and the lessee shall drill, mine, and carry on his operations in such a way as not to cause the abandonment of the property for experimental farm purposes, and any such leased property shall be subject to the use by the State of Texas for all experimental purposes and the board shall continue to operate the experimental station.
