PRICE OF CUT
BANK CRUDE
IS CONFUSING

Lack of a definite posted price
in Cut Bank oil field is giving much
confusion in royalty settlements by
Cut Bank operators who point out
that the field price carried by the
Journal and other trade publica-
lions is s1.10 whereas most of the
oil is being sold for 81 per barrel.
The Texas company is posting
and paying a price of $1.10 per
barrel. The official posting is in
the postoffice at Cut Bank. The
Texas company is the only company
paying $1.1O for its royalty oil,
however. The Texas company buys
no crude from other producers and
the price therefore applies only to
its own operations. However, there
is no other price leader in the field.
Santa Rita Oil G. Gas Co., which
sells its production to Northwest
Refining Co. settles on a basis of
81 per barrel. Much of the oil
going to Canada, through Toronto
Pipeline company, is on a basis of
$40 per barrel. Part of the spot
oil was bought for 81 per barrel
The government lis accepting 81
per barrel on Indian leases and
federal leases. The Pocatello and
Spokane refinery demands are sup
piled under contracts based on the
Midcontinent crude price which at
present holds the price at nearer 81
than $1.1O. r. c. Tarrant is max
ing settlements on the basis of 81
per barrel. There is little spot oil
to be had but the going price is
said to be 81 per barrel and pro-
ducers ask for $110 under any
proposed new contracts.
Trade publications recognize the
Texas company price as the, posted
field price.

The ore body is described as

cap of lava which has been tested

of which is 27S feet. still contin-
uing in ore 1t is a solid mass, not

1000 acres of federal range land
and claims ore enough Ito supply
the needs of the entire nation for
many years.
Using this new process on a
type of ore that previously has not
yielded any type of metal, the de-
velOpers claim a recovery of from
"a to 40 pounds of metallic tin to
the ton, worth so cents a pound at
the present market. 1t is estimated
that a ton of ore can be handled
at a cost of not to exceed SO a ton
and gold was reported as a by
product in sufficient quantity to
probably pay entire operation costs
when commercial production is at
tanned.
Under the process in use, as ex-
planned by Koabel, the ore as mined
goes 10 mill where IL ~ BIOuuu

silica and mica and reduces the tin
values of the ore to gas which
in turn is drawn through a cooling
tunnel 400 feet to a bag house"
where cool gases are filtered
through 6-foot bags, containing
wool, which stop the fine oxide
while fumes escape. The oxide is
then recovered from the bags and
reduced to metallic tin by regular
laboratory processes.
Going into operation for the first
time Thursday night, the pilot plant
had handled five tons of ore at
noon Friday of last week with
assays confirming laboratory tests
of the past several months, accord

ores in Central and South Ameri-
ca and formerly with the U. S.
government in the Panama Canal
zone.

STRATEGIC METALS
MINES EXEMPT FROM
EXCESS PROFITS TAX

The Pittman Amendment to the
excess profits tax bill exempting
developers and producers of stra-
tegic metals and minerals, includ-
ing anthony, chromite. manganese,
platinum. quicksilver, tin and tung-
stem provides that the portion of
the adjusted excess profits tax on
net income attributable to the min
ing of such materials shall be ex-
empt. The tax on the remaining
portion OF such adjusted excess pro-
fits on net income shall be an
amount which bears the same ratio
to the tax computed without re-
gard to the amendment as such re-
naming portion bears to the entire
adjusted excess profits on net in
come.
The exemption applies to milling
smelling and refining in addition
to mining.
Senator Pittman further explains
that a new mining company COM
ing into production may set off
against its profits the cost during
the years OF prospecting, exploration,
and development prior to the mine
coming into profitable production.
Heretofore all these expenses were
included as a deduction in deter
mining profits. Again losses of a
mining company in one year can be
carried over to the next year.
A general clause in the amend
ment provides for the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue. with the ap-
Droval of the Secretary Of the Treas
ury to take into consideration of
any abnormalities and make equit-
able adjustments.

Greater ak
Values Seen
For County

Tax values in excess of those III
1889 will probably result from l'+o
listingS, which are about connplctc
after being begun in January, WIN
values listed as Of the first DAY o.
the wear. Miss DOruthca Wuodllcl,
county accountant said today inc
State Tax Commission had not YET
certified corporate values in 1ull, ana
that the exact valuation would not
be definitely known until these come
in.
The fact that listing occurred three
months earlier this year than usual
does not mean that the budget Will
be adopted and the tax rate iINcd
earlier than before. Late July is the
earliest the county commissioners
can adopt the l940-4l budget. But
it is expected the tux books Will be
rr:my in time for that to be done
then.
No increase in the county tax rate
is anticipated. The levy for the 1888
10 fiscal year was 80 cents. The city
tax rate is $l.60.
Corporations and individuals wish
ing to pay their taxes carly for the
next year can do so with more cer-
tainty as to what the actual levy will
be, because of the fact that the books
will be more nearly completed by
early summer. Many accounts are
settled each year in July and August,

Cooperative
Loans Made
Through FSA

Two cooperative loans, serving IS
Vance county farmers, have been
made through the local office Of the
Farm Security Administration, it is
stated by Ivey w. Day, supervisor Of
the federal agency for this county.
Other such loans, for the purchase
Of equipment or facilities best suited
to group ownership rather than in
dividual ownership, are available.
Group action is one of the methods
used by the Farm Security Admin
istration borrowers and their neigh
bors farmers to make their labor
more effective and to put their farm
ing operations on sounder basis,
Mr.. Day said.
1.-THE basis of FSA's lending pro-
gram is a sound farm management
plan for every individual farmer -
Mr.. Day pointed out. MANY times,
however, services and facilities for
successful operation are too expen-
sivc to be justified for an Individual
farmer. The logical step, many Of
our borrowers agree, is to arrange
for joint use of this service"
According to a statewide report,
the Farm Security Administration
has made many cooperative loans for
such things as sire rings, harvesting
equipment, lime grinding plants, CAN
nmg outfits, marketing services and
dairy herd improvement activities.
Loans for simple services may be
made to master borrower or to a
number Of joint borrowers for SER
vices to themselves and neighbors.
They should be organized on a maxi
mum basis, Mr. Day pointed out, TO
keep down the cost per unit and to
extend the benefits to the largest pos
Siblc number Of borrowers and low
income farm families in need of such
facilities. Of course, before the APP
pliCation for a loan of this kind is
approved it must be shown that the
service is not only desirable but that
the income from it will cover cX-
pCnSes and repay the loan, including
Il low rate of interest.
All the details Of the FSHS COM
munity and cooperative services such
aS description of the services, Sc
curity, rate of interest and terms Of
repayment are available at Mr.. Days
office on William street in the Feace
building.
