D. Stew art. Application blanks and addi-, tional Information are available through his office, Stewart added‘ “Applications for the loans ror‘ developtient purposeés can be made | by corporations, partnerships or in-| dividuals and they are subject to| repayment by the proceeds of the properties being loaned upon,” ac- cording 'to- the report. Should the | money expended upon the property fail to develop the values neces- sary to pay off the loan, it is f.he United States Government which pockets the loss. Loans Répayable Monthly The idea seems to be to make the loans of a Certain amount up to $20,000, piyable monthly or semi- monthly! bdsed "iipon ‘the require- ments of the ihdividial property and the program for development which may be approved. The idea back of this Is just the same as in/ the developmenit of '‘any mining prospect, the progress of each month is what justifies the ‘€x- penditure for the next month. The RPC reserves thé right to stop these month-to-month pay- ments when, in the opihion of their examiners, the development is not showing up sufficiently ‘encouraging to justify continued expenditures. | 1t is felt, holvever, that the policy | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TH the properties are in debt at Lhe[ time the application is made, it is necessary.. to secure. an agreement from the creditors that their in- debtedness will be subordinated to that of the Government Furthermore, il payments which have been agreed to e made on léases or royalties or paymients for ment ‘loan. In' other words, RFC loan becomes a first lien on the property regardless of any prev- ious indebtedness or ‘agreéements and unle$s it can be arrdanged ‘to give the RFC loan sueh priofity; it| is" useless' to make application for | Government funds. Technical Aid Not Ne@ded An engineer’s report is not neces- sary to be attached to the original appllcauun and nppmvnls can be obtafned even tholgh an engineer has never examined the property. Likewise, there is no need of leghl advice in making applications. THe " application blanks are simple and ' understandable and cdn be filled out by any one and plain, simple statements made without equivocation can get the applica tion farther than any attempt to complicate by ‘the wuse of ‘many words and unnecessary exthilbits. No Unwatering Loans One policy which is clearly de- fined 'is ‘that the property seeking the loan must be accessible for ex- amination’ by ‘RFO engineers. This |rules out properties whetrée un- | watering 'is’ necessary 'ih order to meke an examination, hence it is fuseless to make ‘an application for funds to unwater. If, however, a property has show- ings in tunnels or other accessible places and these showings are suf- ficient to ‘warrant further exam- requires’ unwatering, it is possible to get & ‘loan for 'that purpose. Class B loans are for develop- ment only and cdannot be used f v.he constiuction of milling ‘plant | The theory is that if a loan un- covers sufficient ore values, ‘it ' may possibly bé granted a second de- velopment loan for further explora- tion, @nd if continued development shows ore in'sight in quantity to Justify milling or other- plants, the property ' could then qualify for a Class' A loan" to build the neces- {sary plants to put it on a préoduc- ing basis. Must Have All Data From a legal viewpoint ome of the most difficult thihgs to ' pro- vide is any transcript of title or | certification of ownérship. ‘Some of thosé who 'complain of ‘the @iffi- culties encountered from the legal depaftmient of RFC will do' well to mdke sure tHat their applica- tion gives just as complete informa- {tion as possible as to the owner- 'qmp of the property.

Class B Loans A Class ‘B Mine ' Loan is defined | as a' loan ekelusively” for flevelop-_ ment purposes. It is limited to| $20,000 in a single grant and ap- plies only to properties in which the major value are gold and/or| silver and/or- tin. Properties in which the princ¢ipal valués are the base metals are not within the scope of the law authorizing the RFC to make these loans. There is, of course, & question of determining where the major values lie and 1t dcgs not rule out a property if copper, lead or zinc be present, if the silver and gold values are such as to indicate that | and silver values sufficient to re- gard the property as a potential profitable producet of those metals. Six Per Cent Inferest The Class B 'loahs are made at 6 per cent interest and are secured by & first mortgage on the mining propertiés on which the money is to be expended. Manner of repay- ment of loans is not generally fixed in any specific way, i. ., with no hard and fast rule, but the RFC is requiring that all income from sale of ore or concentrates be im- pounded and not allowed to be used for further development.
