the rate of more than $1,000,000 a
month. Under the provisions of the
general leasing act of 1920 these roy
alties have to date amounted to more
than $24,000,000. Of this sum, ap-
proximately $1,000 900 is the result
of 'back royalties" accruing from the
production obtained on lands affected
by the leasing act prior 10 its pas
sage, while more than $14,000,000 has
been received from royalties earned
subsequent to the passage of the act.
Royalties reported to the bureau
