Radio telephone equipment, a de-
velopment of the Bell Telephone Lab
oratories, installed aboard the Ger
trude M. Fauci, a fishing vessel operat-
ing from Boston, was undoubtedly the
means of saving the crew of this boat
recently. The vessel sprung a bad leak
off Nova Scotia and her master, Cap
tain Patrick McHugh, called the shore
station of the New England Telephone
and Telegraph Company at Green
Harbor over the radio telephone, re-
porting his vessels position and ask
ing for immediate assistance.
Albert F. Coleman, marine technical
operator at Green Harbor, saw from
his chart that none of the other vessels
of the fleet of fishing boats owned and
operated by Charles M. Fauci, all of
which are equipped with marine tele-
phonts, were in that vicinity, so he
Immediately had a general sos sent

times as well as we could do with that
dollar in fCut Bank There have
been notable exceptions. Last week,
as an example, we picked up a royalty
in Cut Bank at a price Of Is cents per
cent per acre. Although it is ahead
of the drill, we belive it to be OIL
LAND At any rate, the price is so
low that our mmbers can well afford
to accept the odds offered 1t is
in an area where large operators will
this year drill two wells, so if THEY
are willing to take the risk, we feel
that our investors can do no better.
Royalty VALUES are based upon
the amount Of oil that is likely stored
in the ground beneath a given tract of
land. The PRICE we pay is deter
mined largely by excitement over the
possible recovery of that oil. Some
investors are willing to pay TWICE
as much for royalty that is to be
drilled Immediately as they will pay
for adjoining land on which no i'm
mediate development is promised That
circumstance may be well and good,
if the price is low enough-as based
on the VALUE or probable value of
the royalty. But when DOUBLING
the value means to cut the ratio OF
probable returns down to less than
1O-to-1, then we doubt that man is
justified in paying the price for So
called "quick action"
Last week royalty investor from
Spokane visited our office, anxious to
put some money into Cut Bank.
''Tell me where the big production
of the field is going to be-" he said
ct want to invest SOME money in that
district and am willing to pay more,
in order to eliminate as much as pos
sible the element Of chance"
We told him that if we knew posi-
lively where the biggest production
of the field will be found, we would
possess an occult power which would
make it unnecessary to bother with
selling or giving information; further
more that we could sell that infor-
nation, were it positive, to one of the
major companies. There have been
good wells in all parts Of the field.
Off hand, we say that the biggest
wells may be expected along the gas
oil line on the east edge of the field.
That is the best rule yet evolved. At
the same time we find the largest well
in the field, the Santa Rita-Lander,
is the fields westernmost well.
There is no better way to work in
Cut Bank field than to play the law

Royalty PRICES are one thing and
royalty VALUES are another.
The price should be determined by
the value, ordinarily, but that is not
always the case.
In the stock market we frequently
see the price of stocks advance to a
place where the dividend rate of the
corporation will not pay one per cent
per annum on the stock:
Offer a man an investment in
stock paying only 10 per. annum and
he will refuse to buy Therefore, the
PRICE of the stock is determined by
something other than the VALUE.
If we were to figure out the total value
of all the stocks, based on market
prices, and divide into the total an
nual dividends, we would find the
reason why the stock market is a
GAMBLING PLACE rather than a
true market.
Fortunately, royalties are not bar
tered around like stocks and are less
likely to have artificial values placed
on them. There was a time In Kelvin
history when royalties sold for far
more than they were worth. The per-
son who refused to pay the going
price had to stay out. AS result,
many were led to pay higher prices
in the fear that if they didn't buy
THEN, they would have no opportun-
ity of participation in the profits
from Kevin-Sunburst.
This condition is again at hand in
Cut Bank oil field Royalty prices
have been steadily advancing. Bar
gains are growing fewer and farther
between. We of this organization re-
fuse to buy unless it is bargain.
However, we have a more important
factor in royalty PRICES. That is
the COMPETITION of Kevin-Sunburst
royalties.
The man who has dollar to invest
in northern Montana today decides for
himself where he believes his money
will do the most good. The careful
investor is not swayed by the fear
that if he doesn't buy a certain roy
atty that he will not have another OPP
portunity. He will decide, rather a.
bout what he expects his money to do
for him, and wait until he can get just
what he wants.
AT the present moment, there is
no comparison between the VALUES
afforded by the two fields. We have
been able in recent months to do in
Kevin-Sunburst with 81 two or three

of averages. In other words, never
expect more than SO barrel wells and
base all royalty investments on that
expectation. Should 1O00-barrel
wells come, they are extra value to
offset the risk. The man who bases
his investment on 1,000-barrel wells
will likely lose, for there is only one
such well. in the field thus far.
The Lander we'll brought multi
tude of requests for royalties in the
west area. Many believed that the
Lander proved up the entire west
slope for gusher production. Accord
ingly, they were willing to pay any
price at all to get in before it was
too late To the disgust of many we
have not purchased a single royalty
in the district since the completion of
the Lander gusher. We. found a few
ROYALTIES available but all Of the
PRICES were based on the expectation
of gusher production. Accordingly, we
made no deals until this week when
we finally succeeded in getting one
and one-half percent royalty on 100
acres in the west slope district that
hts all the possibilities, w believe of
the Lander. AT any rate, we are buy
ing it on the basis of wildcat royal
ty. 1t is lss than three quarters of a
mile from production and less than
half mile further west than the Lam
der gusher, although lower structur
ally Results of drilling EAST Of the
Lander gusher indicate to us that it
will be necessary to go farther WEST
to pick up Sunburst sand production.
THAT is the important information
we have CLEANED from the Lander
well, and which information we may
be capitalizing in this purchase.
We feel quite sure that the royalty
we are purchasing is oil land-the
nearest well was rated at 40 barrels
initial. We are having a price low
enough so that if this 100 acres yields
ONE-TWENTIETH as much oil as
the average expectancy of the field
it will paw a profit. On THAT factor
we base the VALUE and bv eomDari-
son we know whether the PRICE of
fers what we term a BARGAIN We
believe this purchase a bargain.
Some of our members already have
some royalty on this tract We will
divide the one and one-half percent
among others who are less fortunate
The descriptive plat will be sent to
those who have requested west slope
royalties and to any others who re-
quest this particular plat.

Loans up to $4,000 can be OBJ
tanned for development work on
placer or quartz property where
there is sufficient ore in sight to
Justify further exploration. In
quartz mines this money can be
used for the purchase OF tools and
drills but not for mills or large
machinery. In placer mines 1t cam
be used only for testing, the pur-
pose being to establish sufficiently
large ore body to justify a larger
loan for the purpose of a washing
plant. In both instances, the deVel-
opment loan is payable out OF the
proceeds of the subsequent CONNER
cial operation of the mine.
1t is apparent to the Journal that
Montana mining men have none 9TH
er than themselves to blame for
their failure TO take advantage of
the opportunity to secure a loan.
Any who has a property that will
justify the approval of mining en-
gineer who has as a back ground
years of practical experience in mine
operation, can get a loan. In the
case of Glass "B" loans for $40, 900
or less for development purposes,
the applicant does not have to go to
any expense. If his property is not
good enough to justify loan, he Is
promptly notified. Otherwise he can
expect to get his loan through in
around so days.
Application blanks may be Sc
cured at the RFC office at Helena,
