Attractions.

LONDON, September 19.-The cap
ital of England, the greatest city in
the world, London, lies SO miles above
the mouth of the River Thames,
spreading over both its banks. 1t

there isn't q recorded tiue when there
wasn't London. The Roman legions
were there in AID. 43.
The British metropolis Is but IA
hours by rail from Southampton, the
home port Of many of the largest
ocean liners.
London abounds with historic build
ings and sections, most of which may
be seen from the top Of the proverbial
omnibus, If one should be pressed for
time.

mantle Routes.

KINGSTON, September 1s.-Ro-
nance-the romance of swashbuckling
brigands, of Spanish conquisitadores,
Of roistering pirate crews and gay
ports where they spent the plunder OF
seven seas-is still apparent in the
waters of the Spanish Main, but,
enhancing it, is the beauty. inherent,
and man-made, that has made the
Caribbean the most popular Of cruise
waters.
Novelists through generations have
chosen the romantic background OF
the Caribbean for stories Of adventure
and intrigue, for there Is fact to tell
Of the buried treasures, flooded cities,
and sunken square-riggers that once
new the jolly Roger.
Sanguinary Capt. Kidd. clustering
Henry Morgan, Teach and Blackboard
still ride the seas in legend that will
never die, in a tradition of conquest,
piracy and flashing cutlass that will
live through the centuries. Through
the waters of the Caribbean there are
q hundred millions of buried treasure,
pirate gold mostly, taken from the
wealthy merchantmen that once sailed
these seas, one of the wealthiest trade
routes of the world. But these treas
ure-trove are only part of the real
treasure that Spanish Main has to
offer. Beauty Is an intrinsic part OF
the West Indies, romance Is its In
ierent atmosphere, and on the new,
luxurious steamships that now follow
the routes of the Caribbean trade
comfort and luxury are added to the
many features, that have made these
seas the outstanding pleasure goal OF
the Western Hemisphere.
Every week of the year the trim,

wells drilled and we're they producing
simultaneously, of course the royalty
owners in this block would then receive
tremendous incomes. All depends on the
development Of markets and the speed
Of drilling. The prospects are that one
we'll on each block will barely provide
pin money for the average Baker land
owner.
The government, which owns much OF
the surface, likewise the Northern Pa
cific Railway company, the largest land
owner, both of which operate on a 100
year basis, can well afford to wait for
80 or 100 years, but not the man OF
mature years.
The unit plan was evolved back in
Washington. 1t is not the idea OF
westerner nor OF a practical on man.
Its birth came from the idea of scheme
to squeeze out the Independent operators.
In Midcontinent and even California
structures. most OF which cover less than
a section or $40 acres, this idea works
perfectly to obtain a uniform and sys-
tematic plan of drilling to get the max
of drilling. Except FOR the element OF
human nature, which tends toward
stronger taking advantage of the weaker,
the idea would work nicely, in some
places but here in Montana it has little
to recommend 1t other than to please
inton.
Nor should Montana farmers vpte
against the New Deal as a result OF
condemnation of the unit system spon-
sored by the government. This Is not
a New Deal brain child. It belongs to
burglarious days of previous regimes,
when big business ran riot with public
land business Just as in feudel days
the barons went out under the sacred
banner OF the church to commit rape
murder and terrorism. so do the modern
feudal barons go forth under the whole
some and sacred banner Of CONSERVE
tion" to pillage competitive industries
such as the oil business: The unit plan
is a Hangover" that came to the pre-
sent administration.
It is a safe guess that Montana land
owners who know Of the Baker outlook
and who win read the history of Baker
in years to come will not be quick to
Join development projects under units
figured in astronomic factors.
Tracts in Baker field outside the units
offer good possibilities. We understand
that there are some 10000 acres outside
the units. In the hands of good opera
tors, these tracts may provide opportunity
for investment with prospect OF quick
returns ANY members who wish to
pick up some such royalties should
communicate with us immediately. The
cost will be higher than we are used to
paying in Northern Montana but on the
basis Of drilling cost are worth more
In other words IL an operator is willing
to invest 100000 in drilling 8 well, he
expects to get his money back plus pro-
lit. While the operator is getting his
money back the owner OF ! 20 royalty on
the we'll is receiving i % of 100000 or
81 600. That gives some idea Of the
basis Of royalty values.

More About How To Figure
Royalties Under Unit Plan

age production of all Montana oil fields
Is now at the record figure OF 1900
barrels per day, it will be necessary to
develop new markets before this one unit
which is one Of several in Baker
can pay as much as $1.44 per day on
~ royalty.
The farmer who retains all his IL " %
royalty will receive $50 per day from
each 1000 barrels of daily production
in the block.
It is doubtful whether oil can be pro-
fitably produced on this structure for 81
per barrel. The cost Of lifting a barrel
Of oil in Kevin-Sunburst field. with 1900
foot drilling, is around So cents per
barrel. The cost of lifting a barrel
Of oil in Cut Bank field with $500
foot drilling is about IS cents per bar
rel It would follow that the cost OF
lifting in Baker, with $500 to 1900
foot drilling, win be 81 or more per bar
rell. So the factor of 81 per barrel
is doubtless much too dow. This will
increase the above table Of earnings.
Developments at the discovery we'll are
no criterion for Baker. The fact that
this well blew itself into water resulted
from a man-made accident and 1t is highly
improbable that it will happen again.
The desire to have a large flowing we'll
was probably responsible for the fact
that il was allowed to blow itself into
water 1t follows that well drilled in
the future will be opened up cautiously:
will not be allowed to come" themselves
with a rush OF fluid that invariably
pulls in water.
Neither is the Baker structure ruined
by this one well There are no less
than six and possibly seven separate
domes on the vast anticline. Each one
of these is likely to carry oil at the
Madison contact. The entire anticl1ne
may produce, along the high" BakNr
has the possibility of being one OF the
greatest oil fields in the world.
Many royalty owners complain bitterly
about the effect of the unit plan in
Baker The experience of Baker land
owners is likely to put damper on
utilization plans In Montana In the
future. When a man lives for years
on a dry land farm, going without the
necessities OF life in order to hang on
for that mythical something that comes
to him who waits in the Treasurer state.
he feels that he is entitled to a real
reward when he has such good fortune
as oil on his land.
An oil strike under other circum-
stances would mean great prosperity for
Baker residents. Each landowner could
take the gamble out OF the future by
selling enough of his royalty to pay off
his debts and make his family comfort
able while he is young enough to enjoy
it. Everyone now realizes that 1t Will
doubtless mean that few OF those now
living will enjoy the fruits Of their ad-
venture Their children and their chil-
dren's children and their children's
children's children viii doubtless par

unit blocks
This first unit of 22,s0O acres provides
room for SOS wells, II the spacing is
one we'll to 40 acres and If the entire
block is productive. We're that many

An enquirer from Baker writes:
Now 1 can buy royalty ON 100
acre tracts for 5000 for one per
cent and up. OF course this is
signed up in the units and over
riding. Wish you would advise me
how q percent would figure out on
$40 acres in a 22,6OO acre unit
where all the landowners participate
In the wells. This is landowners
royalty
Here is our answer:
Divide 500 into 22,6OO and we find
the landowner has a 1/70th part Of the
royalty pool. He gets 1/70th of all the
royalty oil from that block. (The exact
fraction is S/5S5ths.)
II the landowner sells one per cent
royalty the buyer gets 2/25th OF 1/70th.
II these figures are too dizzy, go back
to our own system of decimals.
The landowners collectively get 1875
barrels out of every 100 produced, free
of cost of production.
The owner OF $40 acres out Of this
22,6OO-acre block gets 1-70th OF 1915
barrels out of every 100 barrels proceed.
This is Is barrels approximately The
owner of 1875 per cent royalty gets is
OF a barrel of oil out Of every 100 bar
rels produced on any part of the 22,6OO
acre block.
Every member of this organization
knows the quick way to figure a division
of the landowners share. 1t is: write
down the landowners share: then move
the decimal point over two places. The
landowners share is rs barrel. Two
places over gives .001S-which is the
production OF one Royalty Unit or 1/Sth
of 10. To find out how much one per
cent (S units) produces, multiply .001S
by eight and we find that l % royalty
would receive .0144 barrels out of every
100 barrels produced.
Figure the price Of Old at 81. One
per cent royalty win earn 500. A, or
less than u cents for every 100 bar
rels produced. These are all approx
mates so we will use 1.5 cents as the
earning factor.
$500 for 10 on $50 acres or $500 for
10 on 800 acres, as stated:
If a man gets 1.5 cents out OF every
100 barrels produced, then to get back
an investment OF $500 in l per cent
royalty on 800 acres, the unit vial have
to produce $2,666,666 worth of oil with
the price at 81 per barrel. Any member
of this organization who Is used to ng-
uring royalty values can quickly prove
that figure, and we will not multiply it
out. Suffice to say that if this unit
block were to produce 1888 barrels per
day. this investment of $400 In 800
acres would pay out in one year.
One per cent royalty on 800 acres in
this block win earn:
LA cents per day on a 10OIbar-
14.4 cents per day on 1,OOO-barrei
s1.44 per day on 1O.OOO-barrel daily
production.
s14.4O per day on a 1OO.OOO-barrel
daily production.
