LEASES AND ROYALTIES
In view of the fact that Secre
tary of the Interior Fal! and others
of the present administration are
under fire just now in Congress be
cause of the leasing of Government
oil reserve lands, it will interest
readers of The News to know that
nearly nine million barrels of oil
were produced on Government-owned
lands in 1921, resulting in more
than two million dollars being paid
into the United States treasury. This
information is contained in the .n
nual report of A. W. Ambrose, chief
peroleum technologist of the Bureau
of Mines.
I
The Government receives royal
I ties on all petroleum and natural
1 eras, and their by-products, sold
from Government lands. The mini
mum oil royalty rate, or five per
J cent, is that for land leased as a
' reward for discovery. Most of the
leases have been awarded, it is
said, under a sliding scale of royal
ties ranging from 2hs to neary 17
per cent. The rate on casing head
gasoline is 16 2-3 per cent of the
value of the gasoline extracted
from the gas produced, and sold.
More that six thousand permits
for prospecting for oil and gas
have been issued by the Genera!
Hnnouncement.
I Desire to Thank the People of
Nenana and the Fourth Division
Generally, for Their Expression of
Confidence at the late Primaries
Dan Sutherland
Land Office. Two hundred and sixty
seven leases have been granted for
producing oil credited to Wyoming.
1 California, Montana and Louisiana.
Natural gas comes from Wyoming
and California, and casing-head gas
oline from those states also.
