5. The right of the State and its citizens to prospect for, mine and remove all deposits of minerals, including oil and gas;
6. Its authority to serve and execute all civil and criminal process issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or public officer having authority to issue such process and any order issued by such a court which is necessary to be served upon any person who is on the land or any building erected on it, in the same way and manner as if jurisdiction had not been ceded;
7. Its criminal and civil jurisdiction, other than that expressly ceded, to the extent permitted by law; and
