E\ | ¥ Something There is nothing better than LIPTON'S TEA Largest Sale in the World AIR TRANSIT WILL NOT BE EXPENSIVE Aaronantical Engineer of Garden City, N. Y., Gives Statistics New York, Dec. 22.—Air transport is only slightly more costly than rail] transportation, Archibald Black, aero-| nautical engineer of Garden City, N. Y., declares. Mr, Black's address, ‘“prepared g , with the intention of exploding cer- 7 tain widely held fallacies regarding the performance for which commer- cial airplanes should be designed,” embodies the results of a study of the relation between designed perform- ance and unit operating cost for such airplanes. Comparing Costs. Comparing airplane and railroad costs, “‘to correct the impression that alr ‘transport is enormously expen- sive,” Mr. Black said: “The distance from NWs York to Chicago is 908 miles by rail, or about 750 to 800 miles in a straight line, a flying distance, say, of from 750 to 800 miles. Were it possible to load the airplane fully ‘on each trip, the operating, cost would be 6.5 cents per passenger-mile, or $48.756 to $52 per passenger. 'This compares with the railroad rate of $51.80, incuding fare, excess.fare, n‘d berth. Shortens Hours. “Allowing for the trip to and from the flelds, as well as an intermediate stop, the time by air would averag © about nine hours as against 20 hours _ by rall. The only reason why we cannot carry passengers at such rates today is that it costs too much to get the business.” Mr. Black, designer of an all- American fighting airplane, and for- merly in the service of the navy de partment, sald it was a mistake to use for commercial work machines not suited to this purpose. Discussing the operation of airplanes through from New York to Chicago without an intermedlate stop, Mr. Black said: “This distance, by an alrplane, would be 750 to 800 miles owing to ,the Impracticabllity of flying in a nnl‘ht line, The great increase in cost of making this fight by eliminat- ing the intermediate stop is evident, because the operating cost per pound- mile or passenger-mile increases gradually with the duration or dis- tance up to about four or five hours, or from 432 to 540 miles. Beyond this the cost of operating machines for pver six hours becomes prohibi- tive, Cost of Operating. “It we assume a 420-hp. airplane having four hours’ duration and fac- tor of safety of six, the cost of op- eration becomes about 0.035 cents per pound-mile. Increasing this duration to six hours ralses the cost to 0.049 cent, or 40 per cent. Doubling the duration, to safely make the New York-Chicago flight without a stop, raises the operating cost to 0.086 cent per pound-mile, an increase of 146 per cent. The general conclusion to be drawn is that commercial air- planes of this size should not be de- signed for over four or five hours' duration.” Mr. Black sald that the moderate- sized machine is at present the most efficient. Climbing speed, he asserted, should be only sufficlent to provide a reasonable margin of safety for emergencies.

NEW DEVELOPMENT OF MINERAL WEALTH Work Has Boen Started in the West, Report Shows Washington, Dee, 22,~~A substantial beginning of the active development of vast mineral wealth, heretofore locked up in the publie domaln of the various western states but now Iliberated under the general leasing law, was recorded by Dr. H. Foster Bain, director of the bureau of mines, in his annual report. Oil is the foremost product of these lands so far, but Dr. Bain sald that when coal resources of the east start to glve out, the government owned coal flelds in the western states would be of prime importance. In the fiscal year ended last June, there were produced from govern- ment lands, other than Indian lands, 18,236,362 barrels of oll, of which the federal government recelved as roy- alty 8,616,862 barrels, worth $4,768,- 397, not including bonuses. In addl- tlon, at the end of the year, $14,000 a month was being recelved by the government from natural gas leases on public lands in Wyoming. In the Rocky Mountain field alone, tnere were on government land 336 oil wells, of which 267 were in the 8alt Creek, Wyo., fleld. A hundred other wells were being drilled. Under the terms of the develop- ment thére had been issued 294 oll and gas leases in four states and 7,727 prospecting permits, on each of which drilling s required, in 18 states and Alaska. The largest number of producing wells belonging to the government is in the Salt Creek field, where the government holds title to nearly all the land. Such an immense amount of crude petroleum was produced that the capacity of the wells was far greater than the pipe line facilities to transport it. Proceeds Rapidly. In Montana also, development pro- ceeded rapidly and at the end of the fiscal year there were 57 producing wells in the Cat Creek field and nine drilling on government land. in the newly discovered and promising Sun- burst-Kevin field. Last June a well near the centen of Cat Creek field drilled into a second and prolific oil sand and flowed naturally at the daily rate of 2,000 barrels. Another well came in at 2,400 barrels. By these developments this field became the third largest producer in the Rocky Mountain régién. These developments are exclusive to activity in naval petroleum re- serves. Final adjudication was reached in outstanding contests on such oil lands, leases were granted and drill- ing arranged. A study made by the bureau of mines showed the govern- ment lands were losing heavily by rainage and that approximately 22,- 000,000 barrels had been lost. Of this, on the scale now in effect, the government's royalty would have been worth $8,800,000. To prevent these losses, leases were given to drill on suchy'lands where drainage occurred and the navy is recelving royalties in ofl which is converted to fuel oil for naval vessels and shipped at such points as necessity warrants for time of emergency. The United States government i8 one of the largest, coal land owners in the world, and also holds impor- tant reserves of phosphate, potash, and other salts. Coal is now being mined in these lands, under lease, in Wyoming, Washington, Montana, North and South Dakota, Utah, Colo- rado, New Mexjco and Nevada. Phos- phate rock is being mined in Idaho.
