CREATING LUXURY MONEY

various parts of the country, renewing
old acquaintance and making some
new ones and swapping gossip about
oil fields and fishing holes. 1t was the
most pleasant and incidentally profit
able (see our current bulletin) vacation
in many years.
We talked with one man whom we
know only by correspondence. He has
about 500 invested in three royalties.
He said he felt that he hadn't done very
we'll with royalties He had one prop
erty on which there was producing
we'll that paid little but the well is
now shut in
This gentleman (who will doubtless
read these lines) is very typical of
American investors. He has never raised
a hand to make his investment active.
He hasn't enough royalty, in fact. to
do much at best But irrespective of
that fact, he should have attempted to
keep his investment alive. He had a
property on which we'll was completed.
On the day that we'll drilled in, he
could doubtless have sold the royalty
on that particular tract for 500 and
would then have had his money back
and the other of his two royalties would
stand him nothing Or, better still, he
might have sold HALF of his royalty
for $50 and thus have an actual profit
on that property with half of his royalty
with no investment at ALL
1t is impossible for man to roll a
dollar down the street and expect it to
return with interest No matter where
a man invests his money, he must
LIVE WITH HIS INVESTMENT, if
he is to succeed Occasionally we hear
of the man who bought royalty and
forgot it and suddenly received big
ROYALTY check in settlement of the first
months runs, but it is not the rule of
business. The man who succeeds in any
line is usually the one who puts his
brain power into his investments as
we'll as his money.
Its only 500, anyway" our Glacier
Park friend said.
To that we reply that the smaller
the investment, the more important it
is to keep in touch with it and try to
make it work. We have one man who
has made money from the year of his
first royalty investment and we doubt

able In Anthony canyon in the To-
bacco Root mountains about 10 miles
north of Silver Star, Madison county,
there is a low grade, scattered deposit
of stibnite in an iron oxide gangue.
Some work is being done on this prop
erty by the owner, julius Strawn.
About Is miles west of Dillon, near
the Ermont gold mine, Beaverhead
county, there is a deposit Of anthony
oxide on the ComStock claim. This Is
being operated by leasers who have
not done sufficient work to give any
idea of indicated tonnage. The ore is
known as stibiconite, an oxidized
hydrous sulfide and some of the oxide
still contains cores of the sulfide. The
ore can be sorted by color so as to
give a high-grade anthony product
nearly free of lead. Some anthony
oxides also are found in the same
vicinity on the May claim. Besides
these deposits, antimony is found in
some of the gold and silver ores Of
western Montana
Domestic anthony usually is sold in
cakes of about 10 by 10 by % inches,
weighing about Sc pounds. These usual
ly are shipped to consumers In car
loads unlocked, but it also is available
in boxes containing about 224 pounds,
or 1/10th of long ton. Chinese anti
mony producers also sell in 224 pound
boxes, while English producers deliver
in casks containing 672 pounds. For
trade purposes the metal has a purity
Of SO to 1913 percent.
Anthony metal is quoted at from
Is to IA cents per pound and the ore,
so to go percent anthony,
is quoted at s1.50 to SITS per unit Of
anthony. Ores containing IS to 70
percent anthony command premium
Of to 80 cents per unit of antimony
over the lower grade ore. The average
price of anthony metal in 1889 was
1895 cents per pound.

The greater part of the antimony
used in the United States Is Imported
abut some foreign imports are seriously
Vcurtailed today Anthony is used for
many purposes in industry both for
making defense materials and in the
defense materials themselves; there
fore, it is claSsed as a strategic or
critical mineral
Anthony usually is found in nature
in the United States in the form OF
stibnite, a light lead-gray. bladed
structure consisting of two atoms OF
antimony and three atoms of sulfur.
Most of the foreign supplies, especially
the Chinese ores, come in the form
of partly oxidized material consisting
of various amounts of anthony sulfur
and oxygen. Anthony is recovered
from tetrahedrite, which is a mineral
consisting of copper, anthony and
sulfur, usually containing silver. 1t
also is recovered as a by-product from
gold and silver ores
The smelling of antimony from its
ores requires a special process and
there are only three such plants in
the United States. The largest Of these
is the plant of the Texas Mining &
Smelling Co., at Laredo, Tex. The
Menardi Metals Co has a plant in
Los Angeles and the Bunker Hill &
Sullivan Mining and Concentrating
Co. recently opened a plant to recover
antimony by an electrolytic process at
Kellogg, Idaho. Five additional plants
in the United States manufacture an
timony salts, using mainly foreign
oxide ores.
Primary production in the United
States has come from Idaho Alaska,
California, Nevada, Washington and
Montana. The largest deposit in the
United States is said to be in the
Yellow Pine district, near Stibnite in
Valley county, Idaho. The Bradley
Mining Co. of San Francisco is active
ly interested in that district.
So far as is now known Montana
has three concentrated deposits all of
which have been recently examined
by the Montana Mineral Resources
survey. One deposit is located on Pros
pect creek west of Thompson Falls,
Sanders county. In that area there are
a number of veins containing anthony
Sulfide associated with lead. Some
work is being done on these properties
and about 80 tons of the ore was
shipped to Texas, Of which 40 tons
aSsayed 1850 percent antimony and
another Acton lot assayed 29.3 percent
antimony. As a number of the work.

Donald McCautious sat with his arm

His heart was stirred by sentiment.
He longed to do something wild and

passionate and startling. Suddenly he
was swept from all reasoning by a
wave of overwhelming inspiration.

resist the frenzied impulse Of the idea.

The girls heart fluttered. SO he loved
her as much as that? She, too, would
do something noble and heroic; he
would know his love was requited.

Such is true love.

that he has had more than $500 or $500
invested at any one time, Today he
has many royalties with NO investment
because he has profit on all his out
lay. He is the Yankee horse-trader type
who will sell anything he possesses at
a fair profit. He occasionally sells too
cheaply, but he always takes a profit
He is not one who regards an invest
ment of 500 as not worth his efforts.
He starts but with the idea of making
profit He buys with the idea of sell
ing part of his royalty for the approx
mate amount he paid for all of it, but
he will sell it all whenever he sees a
profit and knows of another chance for
a turnover. Thus he may repeatedly
turn over sum such as 500 and make
it pay a profit
Some people have the knack of max
ing money and it seems that Lady Luck
smiles warmly on those persons. We
doubt that it is as much luck as it is
CONCENTRATION on their invest
ments, be they large or small
Letter writing is one of the greatest
burdens of this office We have mail
averaging in the hundreds of pieces
per day, which is actually beyond the
ability of our limited staff, but we are
delighted to have letter-writing mem
bers: people who ask questions enough
to completely familiarize themselves
with the subject of royalties We know
that an active person is going to make
money Over fourteen million dollars
has been paid to Montana royalty own
ers in the past as evidence that there
is money to be made in royalties and
we know that the fortunes of the future
will be made by those who will devote
some concentration on the purchase of
oil lands and royalties which will pro-
duce the millions of barrels that will be
required in the future
Only those who think enough of
their future to invest their funds will
have any participation at all and those
who invest their efforts along with their
funds will doubtless have the greater
returns.
We invite as new members people
who are willing to familiarize them
selves with the Montana oil industry
and the workings of landowners royal
ties. 1t is our function to furnish the
information.

driller dropped out Of the ranks this
week with the passing Of Marion W.
Edwards, 66, who drilled some Of the
first gas wells In the Shelby gas field.
He also drilled the shallow gas wells
IN the vicinity of Bynum and was
identified with several wildcat tests,
including Blackhorse Lake, north Of
Great Falls. He was born In Texas
and raised In the oil industry. He re-
tired from active work several years
